LUMINE Sustainability Month
LUMINE JAPAN, a group company of East Japan Railway Company, manages representative commercial facilities like retail space, hotels and trading companies that are directly connected to major railway stations around Tokyo. You may ask, how does a company this scale keep up to sustainability efforts?
In March 2021, LUMINE Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. started introducing carbon neutral city gas at LUMINE OMIYA, for the first time in the shopping center industry in Japan, which aims at having net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Read more in the press release here.
As a major group company, inspiring and introducing change would be the best step by creating a life value to influence many that would follow. Hence, we created the philosophy of "value people can find in their daily lives".
Since the start of LUMINE SINGAPORE, we have adopted this philosophy by partnering with brands that pursue environmentally aware business activities.
Check out some of these brands and their specialty:
