■What is SEGES (Social and Environmental Contribution Green Space Evaluation System) "Tsukuru Midori"?
SEGES (Social and Environmental Green Evaluation System) is a system in which good green spaces created by companies and other organizations, as well as their daily activities and initiatives, are evaluated by a third-party review committee and certified by the Urban Landscape Infrastructure Organization (a public interest incorporated foundation) for their contributions to society and the environment, such as mitigating global warming and the heat island effect, preserving local ecosystems, preserving and creating beautiful landscapes, fostering community with the local community, and creating safe and secure cities.
The SEGES "Green Creation" category evaluates and certifies outstanding plans and projects related to the conservation and creation of green spaces and CSR activities of real estate developers with the aim of contributing to society and the environment. It promotes social recognition of the developers' efforts and contributes to the promotion of "green urban development" that respects the developers' autonomy.
