<h3>SDG's 10: Reduced Inequalities</h3>

<p>City Housing Co., Ltd. engages in diverse real estate businesses. Primarily, in the monthly apartment division, they accommodate many foreigners visiting Japan for business. Staff who speak foreign languages provide careful support to those unfamiliar with Japanese customs. The foreign staff, who initially struggled themselves, can leverage their experiences to assist others, ensuring a comfortable environment for newcomers.</p>

<h3>SDG's 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities</h3>

<p>Rather than building new structures, the company focuses on renovating or rebuilding old apartments to propose energy-efficient living. They also repurpose unsuitable living areas into storage spaces like container houses. Efficient land use is crucial, especially in central Tokyo.</p>

<h3>SDG's 17: Partnerships for the Goals</h3>

<p>Many overseas customers contact the company in foreign languages after viewing their real estate information. Property tours are conducted via video without the need for physical visits. Meetings that used to be held company-wide are now conducted via teleconference, allowing real-time communication between distant locations. As the number of multilingual employees grows, the company can hold meetings with overseas businesses.</p>

<p>This year, they conducted an on-site inspection in Indonesia and plan to visit Vietnam next. They aim to expand their network with foreigners coming to Japan. Participating in the TEAMEXPO Co-Creation Challenge is part of this effort, hoping to expand their network internationally through this project.</p>
