Daiwa House Industry was launched in 1955 because its founder wanted to go into business to be of service to people and society, and his spirit is embodied in the Group’s fundamental principal: Creating Dreams, Building Hearts. Group companies keep this commitment alive by working to achieve SDGs intended to bring about a sustainable world. In that context, we are engaged in environmental initiatives oriented to achieving the Group’s RE100 objectives.

- Renewable energy sources
- Daiwa Info.Service operates solar generation systems at 28 Japanese commercial properties with 11,207 kW of capacity enabling it to contribute 5,400 tonnes annually to CO₂ reductions, and in November 2019 we added wind generation to our power-source mix. We also do our job as an environmentally conscious enterprise through programs to educate local communities about what they can do to help.
