We have entered the Century of the
Environment. Measures for addressing global warming and various
other environmental issues are being reinforced on a global
scale. These issues are intimately related to the social economy
and cannot be solved unless efforts to lower the environmental
burden are pursued in daily activities. These environmental
problems should be solved by devoting additional energies
to various activities described by the words, "think
globally and act locally."
In response to such changing times, Taisei Corporation has
made its corporate mission as "creating a vibrant environment
for citizens" and is leveraging its wealth of technical
and management expertise in a wide range of activities aimed
at lowering environmental burden and contributing to the formation
of an environmentally conscious society.
Taisei is engaging in such activities from two perspectives.
The first perspective is that of lowering its environmental
burden, which is a responsibility that comes with being a
leading company in the construction industry. The Company
conducts all of its construction projects with an emphasis
on environmental conservation and preservation. It does this
through green procurement and activities aimed at achieving
zero emissions by reducing the production of, sorting and
recycling construction by-products. Taisei plans to continue
with these measures in the future.
The second perspective is that of addressing society's environmental
problems by offering environmental solution services. Prior
to implementing project plans, the Company engages in environmental
assessments, in which it performs surveys, forecasts, and
evaluations of possible environmental impacts, and environmental
planning, which consists of planning and design work intended
to promote co-existence with theenvironment and protect the
ecology of the project site. Applying indigenous local resources,
Taisei aims to increase the vitality of local areas by working
to build a rich living environment for coexisting with the
environment and provide for the new social capital to support
it. Furthermore, through Environmental Preservation and Remediation,
which includes activities such as soil and groundwater remediation,
water treatment, and ecosystem protection, as well as other
initiatives addressing waste products as precious resources,
the Company contributes to the development of a recycling-oriented
society and offers its customers environmentally conscious,
energy-efficient products.
To leave precious resources to future generations, Taisei
is using expertise and advanced technology relevant to the
environment and ecology to preserve the natural environment
and realize the creation of new combinations of social and
living environments.
