Our Sustainability Goals

Basic Policy

Challenging the creation of a truly prosperous and sustainable society

Since our founding, we have contributed to developing social infrastructure that is closely related to people’s lives and to the creation of a safe and prosperous society.
Following our management philosophy of “contributing to the creation of a truly prosperous and sustainable society”, we seek to enhance our value as a company that is needed by society.
Placing the sustainability management at the core of our corporate activities, we will continue to take on the challenge of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from both global and local perspectives.

Issues to be addressed to achieve the SDGs

As a company responsible for the development of social infrastructure and as a member of society, we have identified “environment”, “society”, and “people” as important issues that we must address to create a truly prosperous and sustainable society and will then work to achieve the SDGs.

We will enhance our corporate value by promoting sustainability-conscious initiatives not only in our business operations but also in our daily corporate activities.
