Our Basic Concept of CSR
Promote CSR with Shared Group Ideal and ValuesThe TAISEI Group has sought to realize the Group Ideal, “To create a vibrant environment for all members of society,” by having all employees share the TAISEI Spirit and by implementing our Overall Management Perspective (TAISEI VISION 2020, Mid-Term Business Plan) and Overall Principles of Conduct (Group Action Guidelines) when pursuing our business activities.

Message from an Expert
The objective of CSR for the TAISEI Group is to realize the Group Ideal and is based on the Group Action Guidelines and Mid-Term Business Plan. The 7 core subjects of ISO 26000 were referenced when establishing CSR issues and KPIs previously as well, but in fiscal 2012, an original checksheet based on ISO 26000 was used to analyze activities carried out until then more deeply, after which discussions were held with main departments. This approach deserves high praise as an initiative that will raise the level of the Group’s CSR activities so that they are better suited to the global field within the industry-specific practices of a contracting business.
The results of the analysis demonstrated that one issue is promoting CSR throughout the supply chain. In upcoming years, I hope that TAISEI can expand this initiative beyond it to other Group companies and other partners in the supply chain as well.
* KPI: Key Performance Indicator
Steps Towards Implementation
STEP 1 Interview employees to investigate current conditions
STEP 2 Identify challenges for the agenda
STEP 3 Implementing measures for issues within the PDCA cycle
Development of CSR Activities Utilizing ISO 26000The TAISEI Group takes the perspective of our stakeholders (interested parties) when considering CSR issues and objectives and establishing challenges and concrete measures. In fiscal 2012, we established key issues to focus on as KPIs* after using our own unique checksheet based on ISO 26000 to organize our initiatives and exchanging opinions with external CSR experts.
■STEP 1: Interview employees to investigate current conditions• HoldingadepartmentCSRmanagers’meeting
TAISEI’s CSR Promotion Section held a briefing for the 40 CSR managers in each division and the 10 in our main Group companies to inform them of our intention to investigate the status of CSR activities. The employees at the briefing increased their consciousness towards ISO 26000 and confirmed and shared the process for pursing CSR challenges in the future.
• TakinginventoryofCSRactivitiesbasedonISO26000In order to survey the status of CSR activities, the CSR Promotion Section drafted an original checksheet based on the 36 issues established under 7 core subjects in the ISO 26000 standard. The checksheets were distributed in advance to the CSR managers from each division and from the main Group companies who were later interviewed regarding their responses to take an inventory of the current state of CSR activities.
■STEP 2: Identify challenges for the agenda• ExtractingissuesandobjectivesandsettingKPIs
The status of the CSR activities in the inventory were then evaluated with the help of the CSR experts at Craig Consulting, and CSR issues and objectives were extracted for each division. These were then used to establish KPIs.
• AddressingissuesandpromotingmeasuresAs one issue identified was supply chain management (CSR procurement), a CSR Procurement Council was established as an internal working group and a procurement policy was formulated. In addition, a workshop was held for the CSR managers from each TAISEI division and from the main TAISEI Group companies.
■STEP 3: Implementing measures for issues within the PDCA cycle• PDCACycle
Starting with the TAISEI Group Plan comprised of Overall Principles of Conduct and the Overall Management Perspective (Plan), main initiative items were undertaken (Do). The CSR Promotion Section worked with Craig Consulting to set key issues as part of the TAISEI Agenda and/or as KPIs and to assess the status of those initiatives (Check). Yearly improvements (Act) will be made to achieve sustained growth of the enterprise. The following pages detail the status of initiatives in fiscal 2012 (pages 5-6).

EnvironmentalBusinessPromotionFrameworkThe TAISEI Group is working on a promotion framework for improvement of environmental technology that contributes to “achievement of a low-carbon society,” “preservation of biodiversity,” and “formation of a recycling society.”
Plan
Environmental PoliciesWith the group ideal of “To create a vibrant environment for all members of society,” TAISEI, through its construction activities, strives for the development of quality social infrastructure and the improvement of the living environment in harmony with Nature.
As environmental problems worldwide increase, TAISEI’s business activities are necessarily a part of the burden on the environment.
With these environmental management principles as a guide, and working for an environmentally sensitive society, TAISEI and its group companies strive for “Environmental Protection and Innovation,” and promote “Pioneering Environmental Projects” in all corporate activities.
Action Guidelines
1. We shall prevent environmental pollution through compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and agreements and, through the effective application of our Environmental Management System (EMS), expand and continually improve environmental conservation activities.
2. We shall develop environmental technologies that contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society, the conservation of biological diversity, and the formation of a recycling-based society, and use these technologies to benefit our clients and resolve environmental problems.
3. During both planning and design phases, we shall give proper consideration to global and regional environments, and propose to our clients the creation of facilities that harmoniously coexist with the natural environment, conserve energy and resources throughout their life-cycle, and reduce CO2 emissions.
4. During construction, we shall reduce CO2 emissions, give proper consideration to biological diversity, and promote the efficient use of resources, thereby reducing the burden on the environment. In cooperation with specialty contractors and business partners, we shall promote the 3R of construction byproducts (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), along with other environmental conservation activities.
5. We shall communicate effectively with local communities, and as a worthy corporate citizen, contribute to the conservation of regional environments.
6. We shall proactively cooperate with other nations, NGO’s and NPO’s in creating and protecting the environment.

CO2 emissionsCalculation methods
CO2 emissions coeffi cientsDiesel oil, fuel oil, and kerosene: Calculated using the fuel consumption data by the Japan Construction Machinery and Construction Association minus the oil and fat content, with the emission coeffi cients in the Act on the Rational Use of Energy and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming CountermeasuresElectric power: Calculated using the 2011 user-end emissions coeffi cient (before refl ection of Kyoto credit) of 0.510 t-CO2 /MWh announced by the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan. Emissions for the previous fi scal year were also updated using this coeffi cient.City gas: Calculated using the standard calorifi c value from city gas providers and the emissions coeffi cient in the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
NOx and SOx emissionsCalculation methods
Calculated NOx and SOx emissions from diesel oil, fuel oil, and keroseneCalculated in the past fi ve years, using the fuel consumption given by the Japan Construction Machinery and Construction Association minus the oil and fat content, with the emission coeffi cients published in “Revised LCA Index for Architectural Structures: A Tool for Assessing Measures Against Global Warming, Resource Consumption, and Waste Production” by the Architectural Institute of Japan.
<Civil engineering business, construction business>Calculation method for energy used, fossil fuel used (diesel oil, fuel oil, kerosene), electric power used, water used
Amounts used during two-month period of fi scal year 2012 sampled from 144 construction sites were aggregated and usage (intensity) per value of work performed in that two-month period was calculated. Annual emissions were calculated by multiplying the value of work for the year by this intensity. The calculations for civil engineering are performed by work category.
<Offi ces>Calculation method for energy used, fossil fuel used (diesel oil, fuel oil, kerosene), electric power used, city gas used, water used
Starting in the current fi scal year, the annual amount purchased and amount used are calculated on a monthly basis at each offi ce, for all offi ces.

Operating on the Basis of Green Procurement GuidelinesTAISEI has formulated Green Procurement Guidelines for the purpose of applying materials, equipment, and methods that have less environmental impact during the design, construction, and demolition of structures. Green procurement item categories are reviewed annually. TAISEI’s green procurement rate for fiscal 2012 was 30.6%*.
One item (energy-saving electric toilet seats) was added to the 76 items in fiscal 2011, making 77 items. In fiscal 2012, 61 of these items were adopted in 65 construction design projects, and the number of items adopted per project came to 9.2 items.
Meanwhile, the construction divisions have designated priority items, including ready-mixed concrete using blast-furnace cement, blast-furnace cement, recycled aggregate, slag aggregate, recycled steel (recycled reinforcing bars and steel frame), liquefied stabilized soil, high-efficiency fluorescent light fixtures, and environmentally-friendly thermal insulation. TAISEI is promoting introduction of these items to our construction sites.

Comprehensive Environmental Activities Plan
ImplementationofEco-ModelProjects• Recipient of 2 Awards from the Minister of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for Promoting Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Activities
The Midosuji shield construction site (Eco-Model Projects site, Osaka) and Keisei Sugano construction site (Chiba) each received an award from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for Promoting Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Activities given for active implementation of the three R’s (reducing, reusing, and recycling) and ongoing activities.
The Midosuji shield construction site was recognized for its ingenious 3R activities utilizing the unique materials and facilities of shield tunnels and activities to reduce CO2 emissions. The Keisei Sugano construction site was recognized for its activities to reduce CO2 emissions by solar power generation and reduction in sludge production using the CRM (Continuous Walls Using Recycled Mud) method.
ExpansionofEco-ModelProjectsOverseasIn fi scal 2012, we attempted expanding Eco-Model Projects to overseas locations.In Taiwan, we calculated the amount of CO2 emissions at one civil engineering site, three building construction sites, and the offi ce and discovered that the total amount of emissions was approximately 40,000 tons.
Assessing the Environmental Load ThroughouttheSupplyChainIn fi scal 2012, we joined the CDP Supply Chain Program hosted by CDP, an internationally recognized authority (British NGO). This program involves assessing the volume of carbon dioxide emissions (GHG Protocol, Scope 3) related to TAISEI’s business activities at domestic and overseas business partner companies.

Message from an Environmental ManagerYoshiya Kanmuri, Head of the Environmental Safety Department, Taisei U-LEC Co., Ltd.
The PC (precast concrete) construction method is an eco-friendly method that uses fewer concrete forms and construction vehicles than previous methods. Our company, that is a pioneer in industrialized residential construction using the PC method, will celebrate 50 years in business this coming August. With the strong determination of the management executives, we successfully used the PC method to reduce gas usage rate by 50%, carbon dioxide rate by 45%, electric power usage by 30%, and industrial waste production by 40% over the past fi ve years. Going forward, we will continue to expand into new technology markets and strive to even further reduce the environmental load.

Establishmentandobservanceofqualitymanagement standards and proceduresProviding high quality construction products and related services is a TAISEI’s key mission. To fulfi ll this mission, we have established our ”Quality Policy” and use it as a base for our corporate activities.
In addition, TAISEI has also developed our own quality management system that has been in operation for many years, and was the fi rst construction company in Japan to acquire ISO 9001 certifi cation in 1996. To provide our customers with safe, secure construction products and after-sales service, we have established the quality management system that covers all stages from construction to post-delivery operations. We always keep the manuals and standards required for construction-related quality management, which are developed as needed to improve quality management and to keep up with new cutting-edge technology. In 2009, we launched TAISEI QUALITY activities in connection with our quality management system. We pursue activities as a Group based on the three pillars of Increasing Productivity, Increasing Quality and Eliminating Quality Issues, and Fostering an Environment of Dedication to Construction.
➊DevelopinghumanresourcesthatsupportqualityOn the job training is provided to young employees in the Civil Engineering Division and the Building Construction Division who will bear the company’s future. We also implement an educational support system run by highly-experienced employees with a wealth of expertise and strong technical skills to develop the workforce.
➋Increasing customer satisfactionFollowing the handover of construction products, the head offi ce and branch offi ces come together to provide whatever technical support is needed, and the different divisions and departments collaborate to provide adequate and timely quality maintenance (after-sales service).
To determine the level of customer satisfaction (CS), we hold CS interviews after the handover of construction products (for civil engineering projects) and have customers fi ll out surveys (for building construction projects). The survey and interview results are reported to the TAISEI QUALITY Committee and efforts are made to ensure quality and increase customer satisfaction. KPIs P38

Respect for Human Rights Plan
RespectforhumanrightsanddiversityTAISEI respects the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 8 Fundamental Conventions by the ILO, and has articulated in the TAISEI Group Action Guidelines its commitment to respecting basic human rights and diversity. We have indicated in our policy that we will reject discriminatory treatment and will respect local cultures and customs outside Japan and have shown this policy to all employees. We also prohibit child labor, forced labor, and discrimination in respect to employment and occupation, and we guarantee freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.
PromotionsystemforhumanrightsawarenessTAISEI established the TAISEI Human Rights Awareness Committee in 1984 to support the character formation of personnel and the development of employees with high awareness of human rights. This committee, chaired by the executive in charge of human resources with the general manager of the personnel department as the vice-chair, annually formulates basic policy and action plans and reports the results of the previous year.
We also assign a member of the committee to each division in the head offi ce and every branch, in order to create a promotion and implementation system that spreads human rights awareness raising and education throughout the company.
HumanrightsawarenessraisingactivitiesUnder the slogan “Aiming at a friendly and supportive society in which all people lead vibrant lives,” the TAISEI Human Rights Awareness Committee attempts to disseminate awareness of respect for human rights to all employees.
➊Promoting human rights educationTAISEI carries out human rights training as an integral part of its company-wide basic education scheme provided to all employees in group training sessions designed for each organizational level or division. The basic position in our human rights training* is to respect every employee’s independence, encouraging them to think, learn, and act on their own initiative rather than merely instructing them to memorize what is taught. We also held several lectures and workshops with outside instructors for Human Rights Awareness Committee members nationwide.
* KPIs P39
➋PublishingofahumanrightshandbookTAISEI publishes a Human Rights Handbook every year as supplementary material for its training. We also solicited human rights slogans and essays from throughout the Company in connection with Human Rights Week in December.
➌Establishment of an internal hotlineTAISEI has established an internal hotline to provide advice and resolve problems regarding human rights, and sexual and power harassment at an early stage. Moreover, another hotline has been set up to report violations. Through this system, we can investigate the facts and make efforts to prevent similar violations, including requesting related divisions to take corrective action where necessary, without infringing the whistleblower’s rights.
➍HumanrightsinthesupplychainIn April, TAISEI established a Procurement Policy that stipulates a commitment to human rights, in order to promote consideration for human rights throughout the supply chain.

(Overall Principles of Conduct) Basic Conceptual Approaches
TAISEI’s basic concept on our Health and Safety Policy is that all work-related accidents are preventable. Safety must be our top priority as a member of the construction industry. To this end, we call for a safety-fi rst posture in the workplace, endeavoring to provide a safe, anxiety-free working environment.

ImprovingsafetyandhealththroughtheTAISEIOHSMSIn line with our safety-fi rst attitude, we have operated the TAISEI Occupational Health and Safety Management System (TAISEI OHSMS) company-wide since 2001, in order to continuously increase our level of health and safety management with the aim of eliminating accidents and disasters and preventing disasters to third parties.
The TAISEI OHSMS is based on health and safety management methods and knowhow we have developed over many years. On top of this system, we steadily go through the P-D-C-A (plan, do, check, act) cycle in an attempt to prevent accidents and disasters.
Specifi cally, in line with the Health and Safety Policy laid out by the president, we formulate a Health and Safety Management Policy that contains annual priority items to be addressed. Branches and construction sites prepare and implement health and safety management plans based on this Policy. Patrols are conducted to verify that the items in the Health and Safety Management Policy have been properly implemented. By analyzing the results of audits conducted by the head offi ce’s Safety Administration Department and the causes and background to disasters that have occurred at construction sites, we continuously implement measures adapted to the trends in disasters in an effort to prevent them.
Do ● Construction site patrols by the presidentAiming to eliminate accidents and disasters, top management conducts safety patrols at construction sites. This helps to convey the strong intention of the top management to ensure safety among all employees and construction site workers.
● Supporting safety education at specialty construction operatorsIn cooperation with the TAISEI Association of Subcontractors for Health, Safety, and the Environment, which consists of specialty construction fi rms throughout Japan, TAISEI aims to eliminate accidents and disasters as well as protect the environment. Association members participate in health and safety management conferences held by TAISEI and make use of the Company’s publications and collections of accident examples as education and guidance tools for their own health and safety management systems. In this way, TAISEI helps to prevent accidents and disasters at subcontractors as well.
● Safety recordTAISEI’s safety record is following a downward trend thanks to thorough occupational health and safety management. In 2012, the frequency rate of accidents was 0.81*. * KPIs P41

Promoting Compliance Plan
Establishment of a Compliance Committee andpromotionsystemTAISEI has established a Compliance Committee composed of seven members (two outside experts and fi ve company directors) chaired by an outside expert as an advisory body for the president. The committee, which meets several times per year as needed, compiles reports on specifi c initiatives pertaining to compliance promotion. It also exchanges opinions on the implementation of compliance training and on training plans, takes opinions and suggestions from outside experts, and attempts to enforce the observance of laws and regulations.
We have also developed an internal system for promoting and implementing company-wide compliance awareness-raising and education by assigning managers, promoters, and implementers in each division with the president at the top.
* CP: Compliance* Compliance Promotion Section: Serves as the secretariat for the Compliance
Committee and promotes dissemination and establishment of compliance awareness among executives and employees.
* Compliance implementer: All department general managers are designated as compliance implementers; they implement awareness-raising and education on compliance for all executives and employees in their department.
Ongoing implementation of compliance trainingTAISEI uses group training and compliance news in training and awareness-raising, in order to promote the dissemination and establishment of compliance awareness. Group trainings* are conducted in small-group discussion format to inform all employees of the laws and regulations related to their actual works, based on topics related to day-to-day work (conducted three times in fi scal 2012).
* KPIs P41
Additionally, we publish columns that take up a wide variety of familiar and topical compliance-related issues as a monthly compliance communication on our intranet in an effort to raise the awareness of executives and employees.
We also actively provide training materials to TAISEI Group companies, ensuring that the TAISEI Group functions as an integrated entity in promoting compliance.

Corporate ethics helplineTAISEI has developed a Corporate Ethics Helpline as an internal whistleblowing system to report violations of laws and regulations and the TAISEI Group Action Guidelines. It also established an outside hotline in an attorney’s offi ce.
We inform executives and employees of the hotlines through whistleblowing and consultation menu items on the company intranet and posters. We have also spread the word by posting handling methods and other information on the TAISEI website for whistleblowing by employees of subcontractors who are in a direct transaction relationship with TAISEI.

Supply Chain Management Plan
EstablishmentofaprocurementpolicyTAISEI established a Procurement Policy in April 2013 with the aim of fulfi lling its CSR throughout the supply chain, in order to help create a sustainable society. We developed Procurement Guidelines based on this policy and will pursue CSR procurement through the establishment of good partnerships with suppliers.
Do InternalStudySessiononCSRProcurementTAISEI held a CSR procurement study session for about 50 CSR personnel from each division and six main group companies, in order to give them an understanding of the signifi cance and purpose of TAISEI’s efforts to address CSR issues together with suppliers.
The participants deepened their understanding of the fact that, within action toward the supply chain required by ISO 26000, it is important for TAISEI to work on CSR with all relevant suppliers, not just by itself, in order to help achieve sustainable social development.
Promoting CSR procurementIn March 2013, TAISEI launched a CSR Procurement Council composed of the Safety Administration Division, Building Construction Division, Civil Engineering Division, Procurement Division, Corporate Planning Department, and the Corporate Communication Department’s CSR Promotion Offi ce, in order to disseminate CSR initiatives in the supply chain. The council will develop Procurement Guidelines and promote CSR activities with suppliers.

IntellectualpropertyriskmanagementinitiativesDisputes over intellectual property involving the infringement of patents and other rights are increasing in the construction industry. It is therefore necessary to enhance intellectual property risk management, in the areas such as dispute management and prevention of technology outfl ow.
Based on our Intellectual Property Guidelines, TAISEI promotes corporate management with a focus on intellectual property, and we strategically manage and utilize the full range of intellectual property, including copyright and construction business expertise, in addition to patents.
From the perspective of trademark strategy, we appropriately manage product brands used in the names of individual technologies and services, increasing recognition and credibility for customers, society, shareholders, and other stakeholders, in an attempt to increase our corporate brand value.
EstablishmentofTaisei-SIRTTAISEI established Taisei-SIRT, which is an in-house Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), in order to reinforce its preventive measures against damage from electronic information security incidents and its emergency response system. On March 1, TAISEI joined the Nippon CSIRT Association.
Taisei-SIRT shares information and cooperates with other in-house CSIRT in Japan to conduct activities to prevent damage from electronic information security incidents and to respond quickly to stop the spread of damage if an incident occurs.
TAISEI will continue striving to reinforce its electronic information security response system, in order to provide security and safety that live up to the trust of its customers.
● BackgroundTAISEI has always taken a variety of security measures and undertaken awareness-raising activities to protect customers’ information assets, corporate networks, and executives and employees from computer crime and cyber attacks in today’s highly information-based society.
Nevertheless, with increasingly more advanced cyber attacks and complicated information security incidents occurring frequently, recently it has become diffi cult to completely defend against these incidents

In fi scal 2012, we provided an intellectual property course* for personnel from technology sections and branch site administration departments and made every effort to enhance the level of intellectual property capabilities throughout the organization, with views toward increasing awareness of intellectual property and toward human resources development. We also conducted activities to uncover inventions and discover and survey the infringement of other companies’ patented technologies at main construction site offi ces. * KPIs P41
FutureactionsWe will continue awareness-raising activities to ensure that all employees possess a fundamental awareness of intellectual property and to prevent the infringement of other companies’ intellectual property, including conducting trainings for our Marketing & Sales and Business Administration Divisions aimed at the acquisition of fundamental knowledge of intellectual property and providing e-learning programs and distributing information concerning intellectual property risks to all employees.
with conventional measures alone. Accordingly, it is more important than ever to develop an emergency response system in case of information security incidents to prevent the spread of damage from incidents and restore services as quickly as possible.
Moreover, requests from the government and corporate clients to reinforce information security systems have been increasing, which made the strengthening of our electronic information security responses system a pressing task.
● Strengthening our electronic information security responses system
Improvement of the level of company-wide electronic information security and the establishment of a specialized organization that can take emergency responses in the event of an electronic information security incident further strengthens the electronic information security response system, including the determent of incidents and rapid responses during an incident.
Taisei-SIRT is composed of engineers from Taisei Corporation and its group company Taisei Information System Co., Ltd. The functions provided, incident response process, and organization were developed and standardized with advice from Japan Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (JPCERT/CC) and members of the Nippon CSIRT Association.

Information protection and managementUnder the slogan “Safety First Applies to ICT Too!” we are aiming, together with business partners such as subcontractors, to achieve a zero level of information security breaches*. * KPIs P41
● Thorough measures to prevent information leaksOut of the many IT devices within the company, we regard computers, USB memory sticks, and external hard drives as devices with an especially high risk of information leaks. Accordingly, we have reinforced management rules and taken technical countermeasures.
We have installed encryption software on computers that encrypts the entire internal hard disk. We prohibit the use of personal USB memory sticks and external hard drives at work and enforce the use of only products that are automatically encrypted.
Further, in order to reinforce management, we have appointed people in charge of the management of different devices and periodically take full company-wide inventory counts to confirm the whereabouts of all devices every year.
● Initiatives aimed at the entire construction industryTogether with a security vendor, TAISEI has jointly developed a computer security diagnostic website that it has made freely available on the Internet, where partner companies and anyone can use the site to easily determine whether they have antivirus software running and whether they have file-sharing software installed.
We also operate an Information Management System Ledger using a website shared by construction sites (Construction Site Net), in order to ensure thorough management of customer information by partner companies.
Nowadays it is not possible for a single company to completely handle information security countermeasures alone. By providing these systems to and jointly using them with companies that we do business with and other companies in the industry, we aim to increase the level of information security not only at TAISEI but also throughout the construction industry.
Do DoIncreasing awareness of information securityIncreasing awareness of information security among executives and employees is an important information security measure, and we think that ongoing education for all executives and employees is therefore essential. We regularly provide executives and employees with education, including knowledge related to information security and clear specification of internal regulations and rules, with the aim of increasing awareness of information security among all executives and employees.
● Information security pocketbookWe have put the rules that all executives and employees should observe at the bare minimum together into an Information Security Pocketbook. We use this guidebook to continuously provide education to all executives and employees and group training to new hires and mid-career workers.
We have also created a pocketbook specifically for subcontractors and other partner companies. By explaining the content of this pocket book at orientations for persons entering construction sites, meetings of disaster prevention councils, and other venues, we are able to also provide education and guidance to partner companies.
● Information security websiteWe have created a website on our company intranet that brings together content related to information security. It includes internal regulations and rules pertaining to information security, past notifications and education content as well as techniques for preventing information leaks.
We strive to increase the awareness of executives and employees by making this website available so that they can acquire information security knowledge on a daily basis.
● Education for all employees through e-learning programs
We continuously conduct e-learning programs* on information security several times per year, in order to ensure all executives and employees are informed about information security. We make every effort to prevent information security breaches by providing timely education focusing on the content of common information security breaches and how to handle them and other topics related to information security.
Moreover, we also use e-learning programs to explain changes in rules relating to information security and newly introduced systems (tools), and this has had a big effect on steadily informing executives and employees of important content. * KPIs P41

Promotingcompany-wideriskmanagementTo ensure appropriate management of the risks associated with our business activities, TAISEI established and operates a company-wide risk management system by identifying the risks involved in our business activities, classifying those risks by their degree of severity as “company-wide risks,” “risks under division control,” etc., and clarifying those responsible for managing said risks.
In the case of “company-wide risks” that could have a serious effect on business management, we practice effective risk management throughout the company by centralizing information in the CRO Secretariat and sharing information with the Risk Management Committee and Risk Management Council.
In addition, every year we follow the PDCA cycle, ensuring that our risk management remains constantly effective.
DialogueswithstakeholdersTAISEI holds various dialogues with the purpose of reconsidering our business activities through exchanges of information* and communication with a wide range of stakeholders. We have also established an information disclosure policy and conduct our business activities in accordance with that basic policy.

BusinessContinuityPlan(BCP)To fulfi ll our social responsibilities as a general constructor that provides infrastructure for socio-economic activities, we have established action guidelines and rules concerning business continuity planning (BCP*) in anticipation of disasters such as an earthquake.
TAISEI’s disaster prevention and business continuity measures have been highly evaluated. The Kanto Regional Development Bureau and the Kinki Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism have approved TAISEI’s Basic Business Continuity Capabilities during a Disaster as a Construction Company and the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ) has given TAISEI the highest rank in its disaster preparedness rating (now known as the DBJ BCM rating).
In addition to preparing for natural disasters such as earthquakes, we have also adopted and put into action guidelines concerning countermeasures to new strains of infl uenza, including creating a website on our intranet about countermeasures to new strains of infl uenza.

Corporate Data
IncorporationinKeyGlobalSRIIndexesIn recent years, socially responsible investment has become the focus of attention. Socially responsible investment seeks to realize stable income from investments by evaluating and screening companies from the perspective of their observance of laws and regulations and their contributions to society and the environment, rather than from an exclusively fi nancial perspective, and judging their sustainability on that basis. As of March 2013, in addition to the Morningstar Socially Responsible Investment Index,* a key domestic SRI index, TAISEI has been incorporated in the FTSE4Good Global Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacifi c Index.
* Morningstar Socially Responsible Investment Index: The Morningstar Socially Responsible Investment Index is Japan’s fi rst SRI stock price index, covering 150 companies selected by Morningstar Japan K.K. from among domestically listed companies as being superior in terms of social responsibility.

Third Party Opinion
Third Party Opinion
The TAISEI Group expressed more clearly that sustainable development of its companies is possible through contribution to the sustainable progress of society, and has placed initiatives to resolve social issues at the heart of its activities. At the same time, management of CSR activities at construction sites is slowly progressing.
Positioning of CSR
Considering contribution to the sustainable progress of society as a core corporate pursuit requires working on those activities from an even longer-term perspective than before. Although it is not easy to adjust activities to this perspective and to the market environment that undergoes changes over a short term, it is possible for the TAISEI Group to contribute to society by producing high added value with its strong technological capabilities.
In last year’s report, I pointed out that “TAISEI formulates business plans from a long-term perspective, and I believe that it would be benefi cial for the company to offer its stakeholders, in addition to reports of its short-term fi nancial and non-fi nancial activities, information from a slightly longer-term perspective concerning matters such as the future direction of its initiatives and the vision the company is aiming for, as they relate to its business strategies and CSR and sustainability strategies.” This year, the overall positioning has been expressed more clearly. This was done on pages 5-8 of the main section and pages 3-6 of the data section, where the current mid-term business plan was expressed based on the long-term vision, “TAISEI VISION 2020” that is itself based on the Group ideal and spirit and was linked to CSR issues to clarify the overall positioning. However, I look forward to a clearer message about what exactly comprises the TAISEI VISION 2020. It is also important for the top management to talk about that vision and clarify its positioning.
Management of CSR activities
Regarding the management of CSR activities, a self-check sheet for CSR measures was drafted this year based on ISO 26000, and discussions were held with each department on the various key issues to determine KPIs. It is the second year for the designation of KPIs, and I understand that they have become concrete means for raising awareness throughout the company. This is an important point.
To address management of CSR at Group companies that was a pending issue, TAISEI began holding briefi ngs last year in which CSR activity interview sheets befi tting the actual situation are brought along to conduct interviews and designate KPIs. It is of fi rst and foremost importance to determine the issues for each entity and share the current situation. I hope that these will not end up as simple individual issues for each
entity, but rather will be considered as elements for the overall management of the company and, even further, for the overall Group. The same applies for issues of the supply chain management.
Going forward, an important point will be to state the positive contributions and the negative evasions related to increased effi ciency of management through the KPIs and how they relate to fi nancial matters. When creating an integrated report, incorporating CSR into the management process and steadily implementing the PDCA cycle is more important than the method of disclosure.
Regarding how to express the KPIs, clearly showing a number of points that are considered important for creating a sustainable society in the main section would facilitate comprehension by more stakeholders.
CSRprocurementinthesupplychain
The TAISEI Group was late in starting management of CSR procurement in the supply chain, but fi nally established and disclosed a basic procurement policy in April of this year. I understand that relevant departments that work with suppliers are cooperating together and that TAISEI will hold briefi ngs to assess the current situation, starting with its main suppliers. It is my hope that cooperation and understanding will be requested from many suppliers to have them work together with TAISEI in the development of CSR procurement. Achieving such an effort across-the-board will not be easy but will have strong benefi ts for both parties. Employees from various departments such as compliance, environment, safety, and information security have been dealing with suppliers, but having these departments work together in their relations with suppliers will be of great signifi cance. I hope that each company will reform and strengthen its management practices from the perspective of CSR, and that the whole Group and the entire supply chain will understand that such actions will lead to higher valuation of the company in the market.
