EJEC contributes to solve the various social problems and social development through its core businesses such as an emergency response to disasters and assistance for reconstruction, active infrastructure consulting in developing countries and development of new projects to facilitate the regeneration of local areas as a general construction consultancy firm.

Japan is truly a country prone to frequent disasters, such as earthquakes and ever intensive downpours. EJEC performs its mission as a construction consultancy firm in all relevant fields ranging from the formulation of disaster prevention or disaster mitigation plans during peace time to damage surveys and assistance for rehabilitation/construction at the time of a disaster.

EJEC considers the development of an emergency response system for disasters to be an important risk management issue and acquired resilience certification in 2016 while formulating and operating the business continuity policy (BCP). *Under the business certification scheme, a business operator actively pursuing the continuity of its business is certified as “an organization contributing to national resilience”.

The business of EJEC as a “construction consultancy firm” is not restricted to Japan as it has actively expanded overseas. Against the emergence of new problems relating to the environment and population which demand global solutions, EJEC primarily focuses on African and Asian countries where economic growth and infrastructure investment are expected to take place. Using such fields as roads, transport, water supply, waste and renewable energies in which EJEC has been frequently active abroad as core business fields, EJEC plans to expand its business into such new fields as disaster prevention (against earthquakes and flooding), urban planning, etc. where the demand is expected to increase in the coming years.

The present society has various problems, such as depopulation, ageing of people and deteriorated structures. Meanwhile, the diversification of people’s sense of values and needs vis-à-vis their living environment has been accelerating. To solve specific local problems and to build and maintain a sustainable society, EJEC is attempting local regeneration through a project developing business targeting social infrastructure as well as new businesses as investment in newly formed projects, business management and advisory work using the technologies possessed by EJEC as the backbone.

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, proposing 17 goals to be achieved throughout the world between 2016 and 2030. Many of the EJEC’s businesses are relevant to these goals and EJEC is determined to make conscious efforts to continually achieve these goals in the coming years.
