In August 2021, Nomura Real Estate (Nomura) entered into partnership with Okutama township to work towards preserving the biodiversity and rich natural environment of Tokyo's forests. Under this agreement, Nomura would actively acquire the forest to contribute toward solving social issues and promote sustainability. Now Nomura manages these forests, currently consisting of 74% cedar and cypress trees (with an average age of 63 years) and 26% broad-leaved trees, by applying forest management methods that contribute to biodiversity with an emphasis on environmental conservation. The forest is now certified as a 'Site for Symbiosis with Nature' by the Ministry of the Environment and approved by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for the Promotion of Wood Use Buildings, with policies evaluated by government investors.
With this tour, we will learn how Nomura is working to responsibly manage the forest area and sustainably introduce timber into the life cycle of Nomura's developments.
