Basic Policy

The Obayashi Basic Principles, consisting of the Obayashi Philosophy, Obayashi Code of Conduct, and Obayashi Three Pledges, apply to all officers and employees. We believe that our business activities themselves are the very practice of the Obayashi Basic Principles. We clearly define the Group's social responsibilities, taking account of the needs of our stakeholders and society. Then we work to solve social challenges. In June 2019, we established Obayashi Sustainability Vision 2050 (OSV2050). The Obayashi Group will work to achieve our vision for 2050, realizing the sustainability of the planet, society, and people.

Sustainability Promotion Framework

Obayashi implement corporate activities based on the Obayashi Basic Principles and pursue initiatives designed to help achieve corporate and social sustainability. To enable us to examine and discuss both these challenges, we established the Sustainability Committee (for issues related to environmental and social sustainability) as an advisory body to the Board of Directors and the Directors' Roundtable Meeting (for discussing sustainability- related issues, such as corporate governance and management strategy) as a subordinate forum to the Board of Directors. We determine our management policy for promoting sustainability based on discussions conducted in both forums.
