In June 2021, we partnered with Tohoku University’s International Research Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS) and AEON MALL Co.,Ltd. to launch the AEON Disaster-Resilient and Environmentally-Friendly City Creation Joint Research Lab. Through this initiative, we conduct joint research and activities focused on disaster preparedness for environmentally friendly cities centered around commercial facilities, and have established regional partnership hubs to foster resilient, safe, and secure communities.
