Corporate Philosophy

The Asset Management Company was founded as a member of MORI TRUST Group for the purpose of managing the assets of real estate investment corporations.
The inclusion of “Trust” in our company name conveys the idea that we serve society and are mandated by society to manage assets over the long term. We are, therefore, required to conduct business based on the fundamental management principles of providing high quality real estate management, increasing added value and contributing to social and economic development.
The concept of “Trust” is expressed more concretely in the following four qualities, which form our corporate philosophy.

(1) Reliability：

Trust between the trustor and trustee will form the basis of everything we do.

(2) Continuity：

We will prove ourselves worthy of the trust placed in us by operating and managing assets over the long run.

(3) Benefit Sharing：

We will share any profits generated with society and stakeholders for our mutual development

(4) Social Nature：

We will contribute to society by conducting socially beneficial business activities.

Furthermore, the Asset Management Company has adopted four basic management principles for realizing this management philosophy: “Growth potential,” “Profitability,” “Stability” and “Transparency.” Striking a balance between these requirements, we endeavor to achieve enduring corporate management in order to prove ourselves worthy of society’s mandate and to live up to the expectations and trust of our shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.

To endure and survive as a company, above all else, it is essential to build a compliance structure based on high ethical standards and to ensure compliance. We are committed to doing this based on the strong awareness that it is imperative for us to conduct our day to day operations in strict compliance not only with laws and regulations but also with social norms and internal rules.
