Mori Building Named as CDP Climate Change A List Company for Third Consecutive Year
Tokyo, January 8, 2026 — Mori Building Co., Ltd., Japan’s leading urban landscape developer, announced today that for the third consecutive year it has been recognized as a Climate Change “A List” company by CDP, an international non-profit organization that evaluates and accredits corporate environmental strategies and actions.
This certification highlights Mori Building’s transparency in addressing environmental issues and its progressive adoption of renewable energy sources. It also highlights the company’s collaboration with suppliers in the pursuit of sustainable initiatives and its contribution towards the global 1.5°C temperature reduction target through measured emissions reductions.
In particular, this year’s recognition praised Mori Building’s governance framework for addressing climate change and the group’s steady progress toward achieving its ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. Overall, it recognizes the leading role company is playing in the area of environmental innovation.
Specifically, the group has pledged to:
- reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by fiscal year 2030 (compared to fiscal year 2019 levels).
- reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by fiscal year 2030 (compared to fiscal year 2019 levels).
- achieve net-zero emissions by 2050
Mori Building is proactively implementing energy-efficient upgrades to its facilities and promoting energy conservation in its daily operations. Alongside these efforts, the company is accelerating the utilization of renewable energy sources. The company is additionally going beyond traditional procurement of renewable electricity and environmental value certificates by developing its own renewable energy power plants. These facilities directly supply renewable energy to the group’s properties, ensuring sustainable, stable and long-term supplies.
The company’s Sustainability Committee, chaired by the President & CEO, and its Environmental Promotion Committee assess and manage dependencies, impacts, and risks related to climate change and natural capital on an ongoing basis. In June 2025, the company conducted an analysis based on the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). This analysis focused on Mori Building’s core strategic redevelopment areas in Minato City, Tokyo and covered its urban redevelopment projects and localized energy supply systems.
This initiative allowed Mori Building to clarify the risks and opportunities it faces with regard to natural capital dependencies while identifying the positive impact it is helping to achieve. These comprehensive actions have been integral to the recognition of Mori Building as a CDP “A List” company.
Mori Building believes that cities are the foundations on which so much economic activity is built, and that they are a key element in the achievement of a sustainable society. Guided by its philosophy of “Create Cities, Nurture Cities,’ the company remains steadfast in its pursuit of urban-nature symbiosis, urban decarbonization, and resource-circulating cities, and will continue striving to help build a sustainable society for future generations.
