Sustainability

Toward the realization of a sustainable society, we strive to achieve the following six important issues (materiality) and key objectives of the SDGs based on “Our Purpose” through our entire corporate activities.


Our Purpose

Drawing the future from space, adding new colors to people and society.

We, Tanseisha Group, are professionals in creating space for imaginations to grow.

Our philosophy of space creation –
It is to give form to something that does not yet exist in the world.
And to create experiences to grow imaginations, delivered by the space.

Joy, surprise, comfort, and inspiration.
To color the lives of people gathering in the space, with the rich emotion.

by harnessing our colorful personalities.
