Obayashi Corporation is a publicly listed construction group founded in 1892 and based in Tokyo, Japan. The group includes 124 companies and has overseas offices in 16 countries. Its business areas span different sectors, including building construction, civil engineering and real estate development, as well as green energy and new businesses initiatives.
Summary
Obayashi Corporation reports transparently on numerous sustainability topics. The company has also set time-bound targets for reducing waste and provides regular updates on its progress. Obayashi has developed strategies for natural disaster response, business continuity plans and maintains an emergency management system to manage risks during emergencies. In 2022, the company has achieved its energy efficiency targets.
Despite these efforts, there are areas where Obayashi can improve its sustainability reporting and performance. While the company shares some health and safety data, it should consider disclosing the number of work-related injuries to offer better insights. Obayashi can enhance its local economy reporting by disclosing the number of locally hired employees alongside its current reporting on foreign nationals.
Furthermore, though the company indicates having disaster risk response strategies, there is no evidence that it discloses details on conducting disaster risk assessments to inform decisions on new projects. Obayashi publicly commits to respect human rights, but should disclose its process to identify and mitigate its salient human rights risks. Addressing these areas will help the company improve its sustainability performance and align more closely with industry standards.
