Learn SDGs with Parents and Children During Summer Vacation!
"MOTTAINAI! Upcycle Workshop" to Think About the Future Through Experience
An experiential workshop will be held with the theme "SDGs Starting Today." This workshop provides an opportunity to feel environmental and social issues up close and think about the future through experiences that parents and children can enjoy and learn from during summer vacation.
Through upcycling experiences that utilize materials that would normally be discarded, we create opportunities for children to learn about the environment while having fun and to think about their future lives and society.
Furthermore, it is developed as a learning-rich summer vacation content that goes beyond simple crafting by incorporating the concept of "backcasting," which involves thinking about what can be done now by working backward from an ideal future vision.

About Tokyo Midtown Hibiya
Tokyo Midtown Hibiya is a complex facility that brings together offices, shops, restaurants, and movie theaters. Leveraging the sophisticated culture of the Hibiya area, known as a town of film and theater, and the rich natural environment adjacent to Hibiya Park, we aim to provide future-oriented new experiences and new values that stimulate customers' senses. https://www.hibiya.tokyo-midtown.com/jp/about
About Mitsui Fudosan Group's Sustainability The Mitsui Fudosan Group, based on the "& mark" philosophy of "continuously challenging to create new value through coexistence, mutual existence, and co-creation," views "creation of social value" and "creation of economic value" as two wheels of a cart, believing that creating social value leads to the creation of economic value, and that this economic value enables the creation of even greater social value. Upon the establishment of the new Group Management Philosophy in April 2024, the following six items were identified as "GROUP MATERIALITY (Issues to Focus On)": "1. Contribution to Industrial Competitiveness," "2. Coexistence with the Environment," "3. Health and Vitality," "4. Safety and Security," "5. Diversity & Inclusion," and "6. Compliance and Governance." We will contribute to sustainability by addressing these materialities through our core business.

Furthermore, in April 2025, we formulated the "&EARTH for Nature" declaration for environmental coexistence in town development, and are promoting town development that expands a rich "environment" and passes it on to future generations, by viewing "environment" as something that integrates nature, people, and the community. Five key issues have been established in this declaration: "Protecting and Nurturing Greenery," "Leveraging the Charm of Water," "Enriching Ecosystems," "Connecting Community Sentiments," and "Circulating Natural Resources." The initiatives in this release contribute to two of the key issues in "&EARTH for Nature."
