Engineering is Essentially an Activity
that Contributes to Environmental Preservation.

JGC’s engineering business, which involves the provision of EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) services for oil and natural gas production plants, is intrinsically related to environmental preservation. Since the 1960’s, JGC has been grappling with environmental issues in its capacity as an engineering company. We remain keenly aware that our business activities in and of themselves must contribute to environmental preservation, and we declare that awareness in the JGC corporate philosophy.

In the enterprise investment business, a new business sector for JGC, we have fur ther expanded the scope of our environmental preservation activities. For instance, we have launched biofuel production, Clean Development Mechanism (CDM, a form of emi s s ions t r ading) , and lake water purification/quality improvement projects. Supplying clients with low-environment-impact plants is another important element of environmental management at JGC. Over the course of the EPC process, we have tested various devices and improvements aimed at environmental efficiency, and won accolades from clients for our efforts.

Environmental impact reduction at construction sites and the home office are the foundation supporting JGC’s environmental management. Each year, we achieve significant results from waste reduction and recycling efforts at construction sites, and CO₂ reduction at the home office.
