Kajima Environmental Vision 2050plus

Background to the Formulation of the Vision

Kajima assesses environmental risks and opportunities in construction operations as follows:

Carbon Neutral Society
  • To achieve the 2050 carbon neutrality goal, both adopting renewable energy and making society more energy efficient are urgent tasks.
  • High expectation is observed to construction industry like initiatives to zero energy building (ZEB) since it is a high-priority measures from the standpoint that energy efficiency of buildings is in particular cost and reduction effectiveness together with adaptable easily.
  • Resource usage has been largely utilized as well as CO2 emissions related to the production, processing and transportation of materials.
Recycling Resources Society
  • There is a room for more efficient resource utilization since construction industry has a large amount of resource and waste consumption.
  • Potential to take advantage of recycled materials (including derived from other industries),therefore, an important role in resource recycling.
  • By leveraging the long-life of the building, the large role in the creation of stock society.
Natural Symbiosis Society
  • In the construction business, a role in modifying the direct natural environment through construction projects which has been involved in the local eco-system, as well as the potential of biodiversity restoration in the urban redevelopment.

Kajima Environmental Vision 2050plus

Kajima Environmental Vision 2050plus

The previous environmental vision, established in 2013, was the Kajima Environmental Vision: Triple Zero 2050. It set out carbon neutrality, resource recycling and harmoniously co-existing with nature as the key aspects of a sustainable society and set three goals for Kajima to achieve by 2050: Zero Carbon, Zero Waste, and Zero Impact. This was our vision for the future, and the entire company has been working to achieve these goals.

Recently, however, we have updated the environmental vision, titling it the Kajima Environmental Vision 2050plus. With a new appreciation that the three initiative areas of carbon neutrality, circular economy, and nature positivity are interconnected, involving both synergistic effects and trade-offs, we have reset the Group's goals and action plans.

Knowing that we cannot fully implement the necessary initiatives alone, we have added the word “plus” to the name of the new environmental vision. This signifies our intention to work together with customers and society, and to remain persistent, so that the vision goals can be achieved by 2050. Based on the new vision, Kajima will continue to promote initiatives to help build a sustainable world where economic activity is balanced with environmental conservation.
