NIKKEN FORUM Webinar
How Will Japan’s Real Estate Industry Survive in 2050?

The Nikken Group’s brand vision is to “pioneer the future of social and environmental design together with our clients.” Recognizing that carbon neutrality is our top priority, we declared a climate emergency in March of this year. We have pledged to engage with society as we seek ways to balance economic activity with carbon neutrality. As we enter an era where environmental performance is becoming increasingly important to real estate value, we are hosting a lecture and panel discussion featuring two leading experts active at the forefront of this field, focusing on the theme of how to formulate business strategies. We hope this event will provide an opportunity to explore strategies for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 together with all of you.
