Taisei Corporation is a civil engineering, construction and real estate development company founded in 1873 and based in Tokyo, Japan. Most of its revenue comes from the construction of commercial facilities, factories, offices, hospitals and schools. The company has branches in 15 cities, domestic sales offices in 42 additional locations and overseas offices in 14 different countries.
Summary
Taisei Corporation reports transparently on numerous sustainability topics. The company has established time-bound targets for implementing its sustainability strategy such as achieving carbon neutrality, and circular economy by 2050. Taisei has had a business continuity plan for natural disaster-related emergencies in place since 2005. Additionally, the company reports progress towards its waste minimization by disclosing a quantitative decrease in waste generation in 2022 compared to previous years.
However, Taisei can enhance its efforts and reporting across several areas. While the company’s Environmental Management System aligns with ISO 14001, which includes aspects related to water, it should also disclose specific practices for effectively managing water withdrawal. Taisei has publicly committed to the health and safety of its workers, but should also strengthen its overall commitments to human and labour rights.
Taisei can also improve its performance on gender equality; although it has a public commitment in this area, the representation of women in higher positions within the company remains limited. Additionally, the company lacks reporting on regular noise and/or vibration monitoring during its activities. Addressing these issues will help Taisei improve its sustainability practices and strengthen its position in the benchmark.
