ESG Awards

In light with heightened interest in ESG,
the ARES ESG Award was established to support J-REITs' ESG initiatives.

The award does not rank the J-REITs like existing external ratings and certification systems.
It aims to promote the development of J-REITs' ESG initiatives
by recognizing unique initiatives and sharing them widely inside and outside of the industry,
and ultimately to appeal the ESG initiatives by the J-REITs industry to the investors and the market.
