President’s Message

January 2024

四方よし“Shihou Yoshi” is our credo, addressing “the planet” in addition to the
Omi merchant’s “Sanpo yoshi (good for both sellers, buyers, and the society).

Facing an imminent global warming crisis, Nikken Sekkei issued a “Climate Emergency Declaration” on March 19, 2021. This declaration is an appeal calling on society to seek a balance between economic activity and the realization of a carbon-neutral society from the perspective of the private sector.
In Nikken Sekkei Construction Management, Inc., a group company of Nikken Sekkei, based on our sustainability policy: “Through fair and transparent corporate activities in providing our management solutions, we aim to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society while enhancing our corporate value.”, we are striving to achieve it under the following initiatives.
 

1. Environmental and social initiatives: internal and external activities directly led by our employees and management team.
2. Business oriented initiatives through stakeholders: management solutions providing to our clients.

 
For initiative 1, we’ve resumed the “Planting Trees on Mt. Fuji” activity that was halted due to the Corona pandemic. We continue the Shinrin: the “Cutting Trees for Reforestation” activities in Tenryu area of Hamamatsu city. As a part of regional revitalization activities, we are working together to find solutions under the regional comprehensive collaboration agreement with Nishikawa Town of Yamagata prefecture,
For initiative 2, as part of our commitment to our stakeholders through our business, in line with strategically launched “Sustainability & ESG Domain”, we aim to enhance value in all of our business domains in our management solutions from the perspective of “E(Environment), S(Social), G(Governance)” + “DX(Digital Transformation)”.
While there are signs that Corona is being contained, the ravages of war in Ukraine and Palestine are heart-breaking. They are humanitarian crises, but they are also carbon neutral crises. The data shows that 1 hour in a fighter jet emits as much CO₂ as 8 years in a car. The amount of CO₂ emitted during the Iraq War was 141million tones, equivalent to the annual CO₂ emissions of 8 billion people in the developing world. As citizens living on the same planet, we are determined to work for the further realization of 四方よし“Shihou Yoshi”.

With 四方よし “Shihou Yoshi” in mind in creatively managing diverse range projects, we move forward with you towards tomorrow.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your continued support.
