In 2022, to clarify the mission we should fulfill, the Group reviewed its material issues. In doing so, we identified and assessed issues that are both important to stakeholders and represent significant economic, environmental, and social impacts; deliberated on the long-term challenges and social missions that the Sekisui House Group ought to undertake; and reflected on our historical initiatives to date. We deepened our understanding through discussions at Management Meetings and through the exchange of opinions with various stakeholders, including external experts.

In the 1960s, the Group contributed to securing housing during the period of rapid economic growth and elevating the basic performance of housing. Since then, we have been consistently pursuing “safety and peace of mind” and “comfort and environmental consideration” in housing, while working to advance technologies. Recognizing that our efforts themselves are material issues, we have identified three material issues: “Creation of High-Quality Housing Stock,” “Contributing to a Sustainable Society,” and “Diversity and Inclusion” in achieving happiness through housing in the era of the 100-year lifespan.
