- Response to disasters resulting from climate change
- Response to carbon pricing (carbon tax and emission allowance)
- Demand for supply chain-wide reduction of CO2 emissions
- Response to Science Based Targets (SBTs)
|
[2021–2023 Medium-Term Business Plan]
Development of a business platform and promotion of ESG for growth and transformation (ideally to be realized by 2023)

[Kajima's material issues]
Society 3: Providing technologies and services for disaster preparedness that support safety and security
Environment 4: Contributing actively to society's transition to a carbon-free footprint
|
- Lower productivity resulting from the intensification of disasters (torrential rains, floods, strong winds, snow accumulation, heatstroke, etc.)
- Higher costs and difficulty to procure construction materials owing to climate change (reduction in natural capital, natural disasters)
- Restriction on Kajima's operations owing to CO2 emission controls
- Decline in external reputation from customers, etc., resulting from a failure to achieve environmental goals
|
- Actions to secure a competitive edge through energy-saving and eco-friendly designs (ZEB and ZEH, low-carbon construction materials, etc.)
- Reduction of energy costs through a cut in construction-related CO2 emissions
- Increase in the value of Kajima's own buildings through the promotion of energy savings
- Market expansion for technologies and projects to counter global warming (renewable energy, energy management businesses, etc.)
- Market expansion for technologies to adapt to global warming, such as disaster prevention and mitigation and BCP needs (more resilient buildings, rainwater storage facilities, dams, embankments, pump stations, etc.)
- Improved competitiveness to win orders resulting from R&D on, and increased applications of, low-carbon concrete(CO2-SUICOM, Eco-Crete®ECM, Eco-Crete®KKC, Eco-Crete®BLS, etc.)
|
Recycle Resources |
[Support for a recycling society]
- Compliance with the Act on Promotion of Recycling Plastic Resources
- Promotion of recycling (including waste plastics)
- Response to a shortage of disposal sites
- Aging in social infrastructure, transition to a stock-based society
|
- Reduction in productivity owing to a shortage of waste disposal sites (delay in construction, increase in disposal costs)
- Illegal dumping of items that are difficult to dispose of (composite materials etc.)
- Increase in costs and environmental impact associated with the mass generation of demolition waste following incidents regarding quality
|
- Actions to secure a competitive edge by promoting the use of sustainable materials
|
Harmoniously Co-Existing with Nature |
[Protection and creation of biodiversity]
- Sustainable use of resources
- Nature restoration in urban areas
- Prevention of the intrusion of alien species
- Action for TNFD (Task Force for Nature-Related Financial Disclosure) (to be established)
- Response to 30by30 (turning at least 30% of land and water on Earth into nature reserves by the year 2030)
|
- Suspension or rework of construction, or a loss of reputation resulting from incorrect action
- Loss of biodiversity associated with in-house development
|
- Actions to secure a competitive edge by offering biodiversity in proposals
- Market expansion for ecosystem service businesses
- Market expansion for wood structures
|
[Appropriate environment management]
- Reduction in the environmental impact associated with construction activities (waste, contaminated soil, vibration, noise, dust, drainage, foul odor, etc.)
- Appropriate disposal of hazardous substances (asbestos, PCB, etc.)
|
- Health problems of local residents and workers resulting from environmental impact
- Sanctions, loss of reputation, suspension of construction, compensation, etc. following legal violations, etc.
|
- Actions to secure a competitive edge based on outstanding environmental management technologies
