Since our founding in 1946, Sanken Setsubi Kogyo has operated under the motto “An Environmental Innovation Company That Creates Sustainable Air and Water Environments,” providing total support throughout the entire lifecycle of buildings, from planning and design to construction and maintenance. In recent years, we have had the opportunity to participate in various projects driven by an increased capital investment, notably in areas such as the global realignment of the semiconductor supply chain and the growing demand for data centers to accommodate the rise of AI technologies.
The world today is marked by turmoil, with natural disasters stemming from climate change, increasing prices of raw materials and energy, and supply chain disruptions caused by conflicts and the rise of populism. Given this age of heightened global uncertainty, we have established the SANKEN Challenge 2030 as our compass for sustainability management.
SANKEN Challenge 2030 is a set of medium- to long-term goals that embody the societal challenges we face, revolving around three core themes.
First, we are committed to “Building a Sustainable Future.” We will accelerate our efforts to establish a sustainable, decarbonized society. This involves promoting ZEB, reducing GHG emissions across our supply chain, and engaging in collaborative research and development with universities and institutions both in Japan and internationally.
We are also dedicated to “Creating a Rewarding Workplace,” firmly believing that when individuals work with vitality, it drives the development of outstanding MEP facilities and professional services. This positive cycle earns the respect of our clients and society, ultimately contributing to improved corporate performance. To maintain this environment, we will actively pursue digital transformation (DX) while valuing diverse work styles. Promoting DX poses a significant challenge—one of the greatest since our founding—and requires a higher level of knowledge, skills, and effort than ever before. Furthermore, we will develop human resources capable of leveraging digital technology such as AI as a resource, rather than simply following its direction.
Finally, by “Promoting Transparent and Fair Business Activities,” we aim to build trust with the public and all our stakeholders. Advancing compliance is a key priority within our SANKEN Challenge 2030. We have developed the SANKEN Group Ethical Charter, along with our CSR Procurement Policy and Standards, and are actively working to ensure that these are widely understood. Additionally, we have improved our whistleblowing system and launched the SANKEN Partner Hotline to strengthen our compliance framework and enhance partnerships with our collaborating companies. We will continue to conduct our business activities with responsibility and integrity.
The Sanken Tree symbolizes our growth and embodies our corporate philosophy, mission, and vision, which are deeply rooted in solid principles. The trunk represents key elements such as governance, safety, quality, technology, trust, and DX. From this strong foundation, we aim to expand our branches and leaves through positive interactions with our stakeholders. As we progress, we will continue to advance sustainability management within the limited resources of our planet. Our focus is on achieving the goals outlined in the SANKEN Challenge 2030 and preparing for our 100th anniversary in 2046. Together with our stakeholders, we will foster steady growth and elevate the appeal of the Sanken Tree.
