Expanding environmental buildings
(green buildings)

Green buildings are an initiative to contribute to the creation of sustainable environments and improve the quality of life for generations to come. We develop and manage healthy and enriching buildings and local communities in ways that are socially responsible. These buildings and communities have high resource efficiency and are environmentally friendly throughout their lifecycle, from the selection of land to their design, construction, management, maintenance, repair and disassembly.
We will attract people and businesses to the buildings and areas along our railway lines by constructing sustainable buildings and expanding green buildings. We will continue our efforts to expand green buildings as we promote plans to construct and manage buildings.
