Initial Response Based on the Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

In response to the earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, Emergency Headquarters were established the same day, and the damage situation of offices and safety of Group employees were confirmed. Our offices, including those of Group companies, did not suffer noticeable damage, except for small-scale damage to testing equipment at the Research and Development Center of Oaraimachi, Ibaraki Prefecture. The safety of all employees, including those of Group companies, was confirmed on March 14. Facilities under construction by JGC did not suffer significant damage.

Support for Restoration of Client Facilities

Several companies that were clients of JGC in the past suffered damaged facilities, mainly in the Tohoku area. JGC is currently providing emergency response and support to these companies for full recovery. As of late June, requests for support were received from more than 10 companies, and repair work was under way at seven of them.

Relief Activities of the JGC Group

(1) Emergency Aid and Relief Fund (Matching Gifts)
On March 17, immediately after the disaster, JGC donated 10 million yen as emergency aid to Japan Platform, an NGO initiated by the Japanese government and business community to provide emergency assistance. At the same time, JGC also donated 40 million yen through the Central Community Chest of Japan as relief funds for victims of the disaster. In addition, a 20 million yen relief donation was added on March 31 as a joint contribution made by JGC and its employees through a matching gift program.

(2) Donation and Installation Free of Charge of Diesel Generators
Diesel generators were donated by the Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC, headquartered in Athens), a major construction company in Greece with which JGC has longstanding business relations. Three 545 kW generators were sent to the Port of Yokohama at CCC's expense, while JGC took care of procedures and costs in Japan. In cooperation with Japan International Cooperation Center and Kobe International Supporting Organization, it was decided that the generators should be installed at Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture. Installation work was performed in July, and the generators are now being used to power drainage equipment in areas submerged by the sea at high tide.

(3) Provision Free of Charge of an IT System for Maintenance Management
Since May, JGC Information Systems Co., Ltd. (J-SYS) is providing at no charge PLANITIA for SaaS to local authorities and companies that suffered damage from the disaster. Developed by J-SYS, PLANITIA for SaaS is a facility maintenance management system provided as a cloud service. By using the system, which is accessible through the Internet, local authorities and companies can manage the maintenance and understand the status of recovery of public facilities and plant equipment without rebuilding their damaged IT infrastructure.
