Each Group company formulates an annual environmental management plan, clearly stating specific environmental targets within it. Furthermore, to continuously monitor the achievement of targets, monthly KPIs are set and monitoring is conducted, including initiatives at each EPC project. This enables effective operation of the PDCA cycle and leads to continuous improvement in environmental management.

Each project conducts a risk assessment at the start to identify environmental aspects and impacts. In particular, for overseas projects, we use a method called "ENVID (Environmental Risks Identification)" to identify and evaluate environmental risks. Based on the results of these risk assessments, we set environmental targets for each project and clarify the policies and specific initiatives for environmental management.

Waste and pollution management

At construction sites both in Japan and overseas, waste treatment is positioned as a key environmental response item, and we actively implement measures in accordance with local regulations based on the fundamental concept of "3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)" with sorting as the basis. We also take measures against soil and environmental pollution, such as establishing emergency response plans and managing chemicals, striving for environmental conservation at the site level.

Reduction of GHG emissions

At construction sites inside and outside Japan, based on the policies of the Sustainability Committee of JGC Holdings Corporation, and in collaboration with the CO₂ Reduction Subcommittee established under the Committee, we are working to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in site operations, such as by utilizing renewable energy. We are also sequentially considering systematization to visualize GHG emissions, aiming to build a structure that enables quantitative understanding of the effectiveness of each measure.

In addition, our environmental management initiatives extend beyond reduction of waste and GHG emissions to a wide range of areas, including biodiversity protection and countermeasures against noise. These activities are carried out according to the characteristics of each EPC project as part of sustainable business operations.
