About Signing up to UNGC
We signed a letter expressing our support for the United Nations Global Compact (hereinafter "UNGC"), proposed by the United Nations, and were registered as a participating company on May 8, 2023. Concurrently, we joined the Global Compact Network Japan (GCNJ), the local network in Japan.
The UN Global Compact (UNGC) is the world's largest sustainability initiative, in which the UN and the private sector (companies and organizations) join hands to build a healthy global society. It is a voluntary initiative for companies and organizations to exercise responsible and creative leadership, act as good members of society, and realize sustainable growth.
We endorse the Ten Principles of the UNGC in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment, and Anti-Corruption.
As a "player in the construction service industry providing essential services to the public," we will sincerely face social issues of every era and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
