In order to achieve our three goals of stepping up efforts to be a company with advanced environmental management, establishing the foundations to maintain environmental compliance and ensuring they last, and actively engaging in the environmental solutions business, we have been formulating medium-term management plans regarding the environment since fiscal 2015, and vigorously promote CO₂ reduction, biodiversity preservation, and the 3Rs of construction waste materials in our business activities. On March 30, 2016, we received Eco-First certification from the Minister of the Environment for our initiatives toward becoming an environmentally advanced company within our industry.
