ESG Activities
The Association supports the ESG initiatives of our member companies from various perspectives.
ARES ESG Award
The Association established the “ARES ESG Award” in 2023. By awarding the initiatives of J-REITs towards ESGs, we aim to widely disseminate these efforts both within and outside the industry, as well as to further evolve them.
On the special website, the award-winning initiatives are introduced, and you can also view scenes from the awards ceremony.
ARES ESG Information Disclosure Case Studies
There are case studies on ESG information disclosure specifically for J-REITs. We have published a large number of cases of ESG disclosure by J-REITs, using charts and other materials, covering a wide range of asset types. We have also created an English version to promote understanding among overseas investors and others.
- ※These case studies have been prepared based on the research results of a survey on ESG commissioned to the Japan Research Institute, Limited by the Association.
- ※Since version 3.0, these case studies have incorporated and further developed the essence of "ARES ESG Frameworks Handbook".
ARES ESG Frameworks Handbook
In addition to explaining important ESG frameworks for the real estate industry and J-REITs, this handbook also organizes and analyzes the items covered in multiple frameworks, and serves as a manual to help readers understand the priorities when disclosing ESG information.
- ※These handbook has been prepared based on the research results of a survey on ESG commissioned to the Japan Research Institute, Limited by the Association.
