Initiatives to Support Active Participation by Diverse People

Providing an Environment where People with Developmental Disabilities Can Live with Ease at The Green at Florham Park

Rockefeller Group International is the core company of the Mitsubishi Estate Group's operations in the United States. Engaging primarily in the real estate development and ownership and investment management businesses, it plays a key role in driving the Mitsubishi Estate Group's globalization. Rockefeller Group has been working in cooperation with its joint venture partners on The Green at Florham Park, a large-scale, mixed-use project combining offices, residential housing, and a hotel in Florham Park, New Jersey.

In October 2020, Rockefeller Group completed development of a 62-unit housing project dedicated to serving people with developmental disabilities seeking independent living opportunities and a high quality of life. In the past, there has been a lack of places where those with developmental disabilities can enjoy vibrant lives. The project has provided housing and an environment conducive to well-being and thereby enables the residents to enjoy their lives as active members of their local community.

This is an initiative which embodies the aim of contributing to a truly meaningful society through urban development as set out in the Mitsubishi Estate Group's philosophy, and recognized by Mark Taylor, the Mayor of Florham Park, as a "wonderful project for our community."

Initiative on Well-Being

The Marunouchi Infirmary was created based on input from working women. Helping address health issues that specifically affect the physical and mental well-being of women, including pre-menstrual stress, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, the infirmary conducts activities to enhance health literacy to increase understanding in the workplace and among women and provide health support. Through these activities, Mitsubishi Estate will promote well-being in its urban development, not only by itself but together with other companies that endorse its efforts, to realize a women-friendly work environment and culture so as to expand choices for working women at various life stages.

Examples of Initiatives: 1 Supporting Better Health Literacy in the Marunouchi Area
The Online Marunouchi infirmary holds online seminars for men and women to learn about women’s healthcare and related matters to promote mutual understanding. It has also established a contact point for consultations and counseling. In these ways, the Online Marunouchi infirmary extensively promotes health support through Marunouchi-based companies and f or general visitors to the area.

Examples of Initiatives: 2 Visualizing Working Women’s Health Issues Faced by Companies
Working Women’s Health Scores* is a measure using data to visualize women’s health, working environments, and other conditions by 14 companies centered on the Marunouchi area in cooperation with Femmes Medicaux, which offers consulting on women’s healthcare, including on addressing the Health issues of modern women, and Mitsubishi Estate.
Mitsubishi Estate and Femmes Medicaux plan to extensively promote a service identifying issues based on the health scores of women, which will use the scores to highlight issues faced by working women at participating companies.

  • With the cooperation of Kanagawa University of Human Services, we developed survey categories based on an epidemiological survey. Approximately 3,400 women responded to the survey through the personnel departments of the 14 companies.

Tokyo's Marunouchi area has about 4,300 companies, each of which supports employee diversity and work-life balance while also providing a working environment that welcomes people with physical and mental disabilities.

The Mitsubishi Estate Group is creating communities it hopes will be areas in which anyone, regardless of disabilities, can work comfortably in the Marunouchi area. As part of these initiatives, the Group has been operating since October 2018 Inclu Marunouchi, a center for supporting the employment of disabled people and providing information, on the fifth floor of the Shin-Kokusai Building, in cooperation with Startline Co., Ltd., a company offering consultation and support for disabled people.

Inclu Marunouchi provides companies with a wide range of support services utilizing the Marunouchi area's convenience and sense of community, such as providing information on employment for disabled people, offering satellite offices staffed with support staff and providing consulting services. Mitsubishi Estate works closely with companies using the center and develops new ideas and programs to create a working environment where employees with disabilities further demonstrate their abilities.

Cotooffice, the Working Space with a Built-In Daycare Center

Cotooffice in Shin-Kokusai Building

Businesses urgently need to address the shortage of daycare centers to support their child-rearing employees and avoid a loss or shortage of human resources resulting from extensions of childcare leave or resignation. Further, as many businesses make efforts directed at workstyle reform, it will be necessary to embrace further flexible workstyles through the introduction of telecommuting and utilization of diverse facilities and infrastructure. To meet these social needs, and to provide tenant companies and employees in the Marunouchi area a diversity of high-quality services, in April 2018 Mitsubishi Jisho Property Management opened a new business called "Cotooffice — Working with Your Children in the Office," a working space with a daycare center attached, at the Shin-Kokusai Building. It is the first such endeavor for the Mitsubishi Estate Group. In addition, Cotooffice Sanno Park Tower opened as a daycare center for residents of the Sanno Park Tower. Through the Cotooffice, Mitsubishi Jisho Property Management responds to the needs of those working for tenants in buildings managed by the company and provides a safe and secure childcare service with facilities on par with licensed daycare centers. It also works together with Mama Square, a company with experience managing childcare facilities on company premises, to provide safe, reliable childcare services.

These facilities provide amenities such as laundry and diaper service, and a daycare app, at no extra charge, to reduce the burden on parents commuting to work with their children. They also offer unique education programs that take advantage of the unique features the Marunouchi area offers. These include an intellectual training program created in collaboration with Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo, a nature program that gives children the chance to experience nature in the Marunouchi area, a green oasis within the city, and English programs for children. Such programs and services will not be limited to the Marunouchi area, but will be extended to buildings across Japan owned and managed by the Mitsubishi Estate Group.
