ESG Data

Environment

As a civil engineering consultant, the E∙J Group has traditionally been engaged in business that contributes protecting the environment and mitigating the burden placed on the environment. With the long-term vision currently being developed, we will work on achieving a higher level of environmental response in order to further promote these contributions. Additionally, we are currently in the process of carefully examining various items based on TCFD guidelines, etc., and plan to disclose them sequentially from FY5/22.

Society

As a civil engineering consultant group active in the "glocal" (global and local) field, the E∙J Group has group companies that can handle global, domestic, and regional areas. Are also still actively promoting M&A for further business expansion. As a result, while our hands-on aspects are strengthened as a group, some companies lack a uniform system due to scale, when they joined the group, etc. In presenting data, we have set three scopes: the Company alone, consolidated, and a major subsidiary.
*Major subsidiary: Eight-Japan Engineering Consultants Inc. is a company that accounts for approximately 70% of the E∙J Group's consolidated net sales
