In 2009, we began our international expansion and we now have offices in Singapore, China, Australia and the United States. By leveraging our strengths cultivated in Japan, we have been able to successfully contribute to environmental and community improvements in the countries we operate. Sekisui House's global headquarters is located in the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka, Japan. The distinctive landmark building was ranked among the 'Top 20 buildings in the world' by The Times UK in 2011. Our footprint in Japan extends across the entire country, with five factories, 387 display homes, 119 sales offices, 29 customer service centres, and a research and development institute located in Kyoto.

In China, we are developing low-rise housing and apartments under the "Yuqin" brand in the outskirts of Shanghai and in the northeastern city of Shenyang. In the United States, we are developing communities and urban rental apartments (multi-family housing) through collaborations with local blue-chip partners. G8 Summit Zero Emission House At the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit in 2008, Sekisui House collaborated in the design and construction of the world's first Zero Emission House. Technology and Innovation Sekisui House aims to provide quality living through the application of leading technology. Everything we learn in Japan is brought to Australia. And what we learn in Australia is communicated straight back to home base. Green First ZERO Homes Net zero-energy-homes now comprise 74% of all the homes we build in Japan. Our aim is to increase this to 80% by 2020. Research & Development Our R&D Institute in Kyoto is the first of its kind in the world, dedicated to the rigorous testing of the performance of homes. Satoyama (Ribbons of Green) One of the guiding principles at the heart of Sekisui House is the concept of 'Satoyama' - the idea that mutual benefits can be gained between humans and nature.
