Environmental ConsiderationsAiming for More Nature-friendly AEON MALLAEON MALL promotes town development in harmony with nature by creating a system capable of protecting the ecosystems of local communities, suppressing environmental loads to be minimum, and promoting energy saving and proper waste management. AEON Hometown Forests ProgramAiming for malls familiar to customers through tree-planting activitiesWe conduct the location survey with experts about half a year be-fore a new mall opens, and select tree species to be planted. The tree-planting ceremony is a place where specialty stores and AEON MALL communicate with local customers for the rst time, and I be-lieve the ceremony will provide an opportunity for our customers to know us and our facilities before the mall opens and feel attachment to the mall for a long time by planting seedlings. We hold various events after the opening of the mall, such as tree-nursing festivals, so that our customers will become more familiar with our facilities rich in greenery, and we will continue to provide more opportunities for customers to utilize the forests.“AEON Hometown Forests Program” that started in 1991 in Malaysia. AEON conducts tree-planting activities to realize the basic principle of “dedication to the pursuit of peace, respect for human dignity and contribution to local commu-nities by focusing on customers”. When opening a new mall in Japan and overseas, we hold the tree-planting ceremony where we plant trees that are the most suitable to region's natural environment together with our customers. In FY2018, AEON MALL planted about 124,000 trees at 7 shopping malls (including about 10,000 trees at overseas malls). The cumulative number of planted trees of our group reached about 11.9 million as of the end of February 2019.Megumi SasakiManager of Construction Planning DepartmentTHE OUTLETS HIROSHIMA [Hiroshima Prefecture]AEON MALL CSR / ESG Report 201926
