Efforts for SDGs

Chodai's mission and goals to achieve SDGs

Worldwide, cross-border problems are becoming more serious nowadays, and such problems require solutions. In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the common global targets for balancing the three aspects of society (the economy, the communities, and the environment) in all countries--both advanced and developing nations. What is expected from these SDGs is to address issues regarding poverty, starvation, water, health, education, medical care, and freedom of speech and gender in order to develop infrastructures that will enable people to lead good lives by 2030.
At Chodai, our mission as a construction consultant is to provide people with safe and secure living conditions through infrastructure development. Our primary purpose of developing infrastructures all over the world is to create equality of opportunity, eliminate disparity in wealth, and achieve peace. At Chodai, we incorporate all the 17 SDGs into the scope of our business and strive to achieve them in order to create a sustainable world.

Mid- to long-term vision and SDGs

SDGs include a large number of issues concerning society all of which coincide with those addressed by our business. So far, Chodai has expanded its business focusing on infrastructure development in Japan in order to support the growth of the country's economy. As for its business activities in overseas countries, Chodai has mainly contributed to the growth of developing countries through investigation, design, construction supervision, etc., in civil engineering. 2018 marked the 50th anniversary of its foundation, and Chodai is currently planning the "Long Term Business Vision 2030" with the goals set for 2030 leading up to the 100th anniversary. In the "Long Term Business Vision 2030" Chodai would like to combine the SDGs with the pillars of its business and consider them shared beliefs in order to initiate its business activities. Chodai aims to contribute in solving the most important social issues by being committed to SDGs and continuously develop the organization by enhancing its corporate values, such as creating new business projects in collaboration with Japanese local communities and Asian countries.
