Takeshi Kagami
President, Representative Director

Company Philosophy

Sustainability Initiatives• Be fair and straightforward• Do your best with all your effort• Have leadership, irrespective of education, age, or
nationality.

This Company Philosophy
clearly expresses theLife and Businessphilosophy of our founder
Chairperson Masaru
Kagami (deceased).
Shinryo Corporation wasestablished to embody
this philosophy in thebusiness world. These
three principles serve as
the “roots” of Shinryo
Corporation and are thefoundation for all thinking,decision-making andaction of executives.
Company Philosophy (in Japanese)5

SHINRYO Report 2020

Shinryo Corporation furthers its endeavors in sustainability
promotion activities based on the philosophy of the ISO
26000 Guidelines and Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) in addition to its participation in the United
Nations Global Compact since 2014. The Shinryo Report2020 includes the results of these endeavors.
Every company has relationships with a wide-range ofstakeholders as a member of society. Shinryo Corporation
is no different. The work we do every day connects
to society from our technology and quality to safetymeasures. We fully recognize this responsibility and knowthat we must take on challenges and engage in good workwith the awareness of society, otherwise we will be unable
to grow in the future.
The philosophy of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
and the SDGs to better society is vital as a foundation to thecompany philosophy of Shinryo Corporation, and this ideal
rings through with powerful harmony. This year, we aim to
respond to the needs of society through the integration of
SDGs and management. As a means to this end, we havechanged the name of the CSR Promotion Division to the
Sustainability Promotion Division and merged it with the
Corporate Strategy and Planning Division.

Evermore a Venturing Spirit

Shinryo Corporation formulates management plans every
three years. This year, we drafted the 14th Three Year
Management Plan (65th term to 67th term: October 2019
to September 2022).
First, upon reﬂection of the 13th Three Year
Management Plan, Shinryo Corporation has built afoothold over three years as a foundation to excel into
the future. In particular, we have had great success in
our ability to launch projects that promote the use of
Building Information Modeling (BIM), which heightens thecost competitiveness of business. This management plan
has also acted as an effort to create a foundation for theRefreshing Work Style Project expanding across Japan
today seeking to innovate work styles more in the future.
In overseas businesses, the Indian company Suvidha
joined the Shinryo Group. Suvidha will surely play a majorrole in laying the groundwork for the future. Our new
business initiatives have also brought together more than
600 business ideas as a result of internal solicitation. I
believe this demonstrates the “venturing spirit” of Shinryo
Corporation.
We will now begin the 14th Three Year Management
Plan drafted based on this success. The management
plan advocates the passion to respond to the changes
in society via technology to become a company withsustainable growth. We have prepared four strategies toshape this vision.
Our ﬁrst strategy aims to reform core businesses inJapan within a high-earnings structure. We will focus
all of our strengths into creating cost competitivenesstoward realizing this high-earnings structure. This has
been emphasized in the priority issues of the 14th ThreeYear Management Plan. The second strategy expects tocultivate overseas businesses to strengthen our businessbase and lay the groundwork for our future. The third
strategy incorporates the philosophy of the SDGs into
management with the goal of becoming a company which
delivers value to society. Therein, Shinryo Corporation will
strive to revolutionize its conventional businesses andpenetrate new business domains. The fourth strategy willachieve ideal work styles for Shinryo Corporation and put
in place an environment in which diverse human resources
can participate enthusiastically and enhance our corporate
strength. This outlines the essential points to each of ourstrategies.
In the last two to three years, the market has been
active and resulted in an extremely busy period. In the
future, our objective is not to work more feverishly than
this busy season but rather become more efficient in ourwork. My hope is to be a company where everyone canfeel more conﬁdent to work. It is also important for us tobecome a company that actively promotes sustainability.

Although 2019 seemed to be a prosperous year on thesurface, there are still major concerns about the reforms
to consumption tax and the Labor Standards Act as wellas turmoil in the global economy. These concerns about
the year are speciﬁc to the shrinking construction market
in Japan.
We never neglect these types of dramatic changes insociety, but rather will remain levelheaded and focused on
the work at hand. Shinryo keeps a broad view, especiallyduring these busy seasons, to always respond to thecustomer needs, which, in turn, earns trust.
People have a tendency to become careless in a thriving
economy. However, it is difficult to become diligent again
after becoming careless. Now is the time to stand ready.
Shinryo Corporation can forge a path to the future by
fostering growth as an organization able to stand up to
the harsh environments sure to be experienced in the
future.
Passion is essential to forge this path to the future.
Shinryo Corporation has always been a venture company
from its founding 64 years ago to today. Shinryo
Corporation is an organization with more than 2,000
people. However, you will only see a minimal number of
employees assigned to each job when visiting construction
sites. This in and of itself is a venture company. Shinryo
Corporation supervises multiple sites throughout Japan.
The employees who work on each of these sites include
project managers on site. These project managers on sitenegotiate with various people, such as customers, partnercompanies, and neighbors around each site while unifying
everyone involved in the project to advance construction
safely. Project managers on site engage in the same workas the President. The designation as on-site managers
makes reference to these people as “managers” because
they provide management as representatives of the
President.
Five people launched the Shinryo Corporation and werein charge of a single construction site at the time. Today,
the Group manages a number of construction sites with2,000 people. However, even as the organization has
grown to such a scale, the work of the Shinryo Corporationis still the work of a venture company on each and every
construction site. This is how the venturing spirit lives onin Shinryo Corporation with endless perseverance as its
lifeline. It is this venturing spirit that forges our path to the
future.
With a strong spirit of challenge, we will continue towork to reﬂect the feedback we receive from all of our
stakeholders in our business activities in order to become
a company speciﬁcally chosen by customers. I ask for yourongoing support and guidance in the future as well.

Shinryo Corporation has a business-to-business stance,
but we must recognize the needs of modern times fora business-to-business-to-customer approach. The true
challenges to resolve are faced by customers. Workto heighten awareness in the supply chain and reducegreenhouse gas emissions is fundamentally the same as
resolving the challenges faced by customers. Innovationis necessary to solve these challenges. Innovation has theability to breakthrough conventionality and open avenues
to a new generation or it can lose sight of who innovation
is by excessively exploring existing technology. We aim
for the former breakthrough innovation with the hope of
becoming a company able to provide things society truly
wants.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not only
a new standard but also a business opportunity. The
only question is whether Shinryo Corporation can grab
the chance to join this worldwide movement. The key iscustomer recognition. I hope this awareness will open thefoundation of breakthrough innovation to illustrate newvalue for society.

The vision advocated in the Shinryo Corporation 14th
Three Year Management Plan is to respond to thechanges in society via technology to become a company
with sustainable growth. Today, decarbonization is one
pursuit of the global society. This effort is of course achallenge addressed by Shinryo Corporation through its
technology as well as a major issue which should be taken
forward by the entire industry. Although we have not yet
connected the decarbonization efforts to businesses in theconstruction industry, I am sure the market will open up to
this ﬁeld in the near future.
In our present pursuit of quality, the trend of a newgeneration emphasizes quality of work and quality of life.
The direction for a pursuit of quality which simultaneously
recognizes diverse values will reform work styles on
construction sites and build a company environment
where people can work conﬁdently over the long term.
In addition, we will propose technology that generates
new value in spaces through air- conditioning and othersystems to all of our stakeholders as Shinryo Corporation
and as the systems industry. We will continue to make every
effort to bring understanding about the Shinryo Group.

In February 2019, Shinryo Corporation changed the nameof the organization for activities and promotion from CSR
Promotion to Sustainability Promotion. This change is
not only to fulﬁll our Corporate Social responsibility (CSR)
but also aims to show our sincere hope to foster both thesustainable growth of society and the growth of businessby providing value in-line with the needs of the market.
In the future, we will undertake further deliberations todetermine the SDGs and priority subjects (materiality)
which are the core of sustainability promotion. Shinryo
Corporation will put in place a system to promote
activities according to ideals, expertise and actions of
all corporate officers and employees after determining
the priority subjects. I also want to integrate SDGs andmanagement to create a proﬁtable activity platform.
The greatest success in our steady efforts toward work
style reform is the progress in cultivating a corporate
culture. Through these reforms, we ﬁrst spread awarenessabout changing our work styles. Next, we must further
operational efficiency by taking advantage of ICT tools andother technology. All of these activities aim to achieve theideal work style for Shinryo Corporation. We will continue
to innovate in the future toward achieving these goals.

An era of VUCA* has rushed into corporate environments
to spark social change unimaginable ten years ago
and shatter previous conventions of business andmanagement. Companies must drastically change
direction in the future to at least keep up with changes inthe external environment.
Shinryo Corporation will aim to become a company
founded in trust by adapting to changing customer needs
through its business activities. The provision of moreenergy efficient district heating and cooling systems,
Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plants, large-scale data
centers, and other such systems is vital in helping reducegreenhouse gas emissions.
Incorporating the gap between the current status andideal of the SDGs contributes to business value. Even interms of sales or technology, I believe this is a chance
to grow as a company. Our founders aimed to revitalize
Earth through the power of technology. We have inherited
this drive and strive to realize an even more venturingcorporate climate.

Technologies to Create Dry Rooms

Shinryo Corporation works to develop the technology that supports industrial products, pharmaceuticals,
foodstuff and other manufacturing plants.
Feature 1 introduces energy-saving control systems for dry rooms.

Dry Room Overview
Dry rooms provide a low humidity (low dew-pointtemperature) environment that removes a large amountof moisture in the air. The relative humidity in an office isapproximately 50% (moisture concentration of 14,000 ppm)
while that of a dry room is low at 0.5% or less (moistureconcentration of 130 ppm). Moisture concentration in a dry
room is only 1/100 of an office.
The moisture in the air is essential to human beings
but is a hazardous substance that degrades the quality oflithium-ion batteries and organic EL displays. Therefore, dryrooms eliminating this moisture in the air are required on
manufacturing process of these products.

A dry room has a moisture concentration approximately 1/100 of an office

Overcoming Two Technical Challenges
Dehumidiﬁers remove the moisture in air to create a dry
room, but dehumidiﬁcation requires a large amount ofenergy. Many cases use excessive dehumidiﬁcation tomaintain a low-humidity environment and energy-saving of
dry rooms have been a major challenge.
To overcome this challenge, a control method thatprovides suitable rather than excess dehumidiﬁcation andtechnology to stably sustain a dry room environment wererequired. As a result of a wide range of experiments, Shinryo
Corporation developed the Ariﬁcus energy-saving control
system for dehumidiﬁers and indoor moisture content
distribution prediction (simulation) technology.

Initial development struggled to realize energy savings. I spent
every day fighting with data in the laboratory until I suddenly
remembered different research that I was working on ten years
ago. The research at the time shined a light on the data andsucceeded in creating an archetype for Arificus.
After that, we implemented the control logic and built thepractical hardware, which were able to deliver the system tocustomers as a product. Arificus has encountered no issues asof today and adoption has grown to 12 units. I am proud theequipment that we have developed is supporting conservationof the global environment.

Creating Stable Dry Rooms Using Minimal Energy
Control Method for Suitable Dehumidification and —the Arificus Energy-saving Control System• Overcoming the Challenge of Difficult
Dehumidification Control
The weather and season largely inﬂuence the amount ofmoisture in outdoor air, as well as the amount of moistureproduced indoors is not constant. However, dry rooms mustsustain a constant low-humidity environment by adapting to
the moisture content change caused by these disturbances
in dehumidiﬁcation.
Therefore, conventional dry rooms have had no choice
but to use excessive dehumidiﬁcation to keep humidity low,which drives up running costs.
In general, dew point control is also used for energy
savings, but the accuracy of dew-point meter is extremely
poor. In fact, the measured value by dew-point meter differs
largely from the actual value and dew-point controlling is
unable to realize stable energy savings.

Feature• Realizing Up to 40% Energy Savings using a New
Control System
To overcome this challenge, a control method to provide
the appropriate rather than excess dehumidiﬁcation was
required. As a result of a wide range of experiments, wedeveloped a new control method by focusing on properties
that change the air temperature according to dehumidifying
amount after reactivation section in dessicant rotors.
The Ariﬁcus energy-saving control system that wedeveloped estimates the dew-point temperature of the
supply air from the air temperature and airﬂow passing
through the dehumidiﬁcation rotor to automatically control
the reactivation energy temperature to match the dew-pointtemperature setting.
This method can reduce the energy consumption of thedehumidiﬁers up to 40%.

Low dew-point temperature environment prediction using CFD technology to stably maintain dry room
environments• Latent Difficulty
We have to carefully consider a design to prevent moisture
consentration on dry room products because moistureemitted by the human body and moisture entering the dryroom when the door opens and closes damages lithiumion batteries and other such products. However, up until
now, behavior of trace moisture in dry rooms was difficult topredict.
• Visualizing Behavior of Moisture with Simulation
Technology
Shinryo Corporation endeavored to predict and visualize thebehavior of trace moisture to design a more appropriate dryroom and overcome this challenge.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we
researched methods to predict the moisture distribution andbehavior in dry rooms. Conventional CFD technology could
not predict the behavior of trace moisture in the air with highaccuracy. Therefore, we built a full-size dry room laboratory
and compared results from CFD analysis with the full-size
dry room to obtain the expertise necessary to accurately
predict low-humidity environments.
These tests simulated the behavior of moisture indoors
and achieved the right air conditioning design to prevent dry
room products from moisture contamination, which also
succeeded in helping realize energy savings.

Participation in an International Airport Project

Jewel Changi Airport [Singapore]
The Jewel Changi Airport neighbors the international airport
hub Singapore Changi Airport. The airport complex acts as
a new Singapore landmark that has a distinct dome exterior
built from glass and steel with ten ﬂoors—ﬁve above groundand ﬁve below—which house over 280 retail shops andrestaurants as well as a movie theatre and hotel. The Jewel
Changi Airport also has the world’s largest artiﬁcial waterfall
and lush gardens to provide a majestic facility with thesublime feel of nature indoors. The Shinryo Corporation wasin charge of the air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation
systems throughout this complex.
The entire facility is covered in glass on all sides and lets inas much natural light as needed to cultivate indoor greenery.
Solar power generation panels also produce renewableenergy to use.
However, natural light requires various measures to handle
the tremendous heat load. The air-conditioning system
uses replacement cooling to blow cool air from the ﬂoor
and efficiently cool the surroundings of airport visitors. The
conﬁguration uses compact air conditioners installed in the25

SHINRYO Report 2020

ﬂoor to generate a powerful airﬂow through ﬂoor blow off
in areas where the effective temperature rises due to solar
radiation through the glass. This innovation allows airport
visitors to more fully feel the ﬂow of air.
In addition, the system decreases the duct route byinstalling air conditioners in a shorter span to reduce thetransfer load as well as puts in place measures such as the
adoption of ﬂoor cooling (chilled slabs) that lay cold water
pipes in roughly 4,625 m2 of ﬂooring as a way to address
direct sunlight in the top ﬁfth-ﬂoor passageway area and thecentral area of the ﬁrst ﬂoor where sunlight is strong.
A heat recovery unit has been introduced to efficiently
mitigate the rise in humidity from the large amountof cascading water from the 40-meter high artiﬁcial
waterfall through using exchange energy of cooling fordehumidiﬁcation. The adoption of these highly efficientenergy-saving technologies earned this airport complex
GoldPlus in the Singapore Building and Construction
Authority Green Mark Scheme certiﬁcation initiative.

Building complex with a low-oxygen training facility

D-Tower Toyosu [Tokyo]
D-Tower Toyosu is a building constructed with 17 ﬂoors
above ground across from the new Toyosu Market as acomplex housing a hotel, low-oxygen training facility andcommercial space as well as other amenities. Shinryo
Corporation was in charge of building the air-conditioning
and sanitation systems. The most distinct characteristic of
this building complex is the ASICS Sports Complex TOKYO
BAY, which is the world’s largest urban low-oxygen training
facility*. Athletes can train in a low-oxygen environment
equivalent to an altitude of 2,000 to 4,000 meters using alarge space including a swimming pool, running tracks andtraining room. Shinryo Corporation was in charge of theconstruction for the low-oxygen air-conditioning systemthat creates this low-oxygen environment. Specialized
and advanced technologies were required even for the air
conditioning system to achieve this type of large-scale lowoxygen environment in an urban setting.
The low-oxygen air conditioning system adds 100%
nitrogen gas to ordinary air to control the designated oxygen
density (12% to 17%). We developed and implemented
the system that supplies the enclosed indoor space. In our
research to develop this system, we built a miniature modelof the system to produce the low-oxygen environment
at the Research and Development Center of Shinryo
Corporation (Tsukuba City, Ibaraki). We were able to devise
an air conditioning control method to realize a low-oxygen
environment by verifying all of the potential technical andsafety challenges, such as the method to control the oxygen
density and the impact of airtightness on the building.
We were able to conﬁrm and reﬂect the airﬂow, layout
and number of air outlets to provide consistent oxygen
density by estimating distributions from the oxygen density
and temperature/humidity to the airﬂow indoors using
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technologies.
In addition to conﬁrming performance through trial
operations to obtain the time to recovery to the designatedlow-oxygen environment when lost by simulation, we also
examined the impact chlorine gas has on the durabilityof oximeters over a year by reproducing the chlorine
environment of a swimming pool through experimentation
to ensure the stability of the oximeters essential tosustaining a low-oxygen environment.

with consideration to a longer lifespan of equipment by
employing light, corrosion resistant resin piping for the coldand hot water piping while improving the durability of piping
and heat source equipment.

SHINRYO Report 2020

FeatureThe Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport)
accommodates the largest number of domestic airlines andpassengers in Japan annually as the airport closest to theheart of Tokyo and is the ﬁfth largest in the world. The Northdomestic wing (additional north wing) of Tokyo International
Airport Terminal 2 was built as part of the effort tostrengthen the airport functions of the metropolis aheadof the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. This sixstory building complex combines facilities that include aboarding area for connected passenger bus services, facilities
for airline passengers, and administration functions.
The terminals at Haneda Airport have adopted highefficiency energy systems to supply cold water and steam
to each facility from the district heating and cooling systeminstalled inside the airport. This facility extends the piping
a total length of roughly 350 meters from the heat sourcemachine room of the district heating and cooling system
to receive cold and hot water. However, the heat sourcemachine room did not have blueprints reﬂecting past work
such as previous equipment renovations. This meant Shinryo
Corporation had to measure and create data of the heatsource machine room using a 3D laser scanner to produce
faithful 3D-CAD diagrams of the actual facility. We were able
to dynamically understand the interior such as the positionand size of equipment and piping to smoothly layout theconnections to the facility. Even while most construction
generally fabricates, welds and assembles piping on-site, thisproject took advantage of prefabricated piping manufacturein advance at a plant to heighten efficiency of on-site
operations and reduce the construction period.

The Procter & Gamble (P&G) Shiga Plant is the only factoryfrom over 100 plants worldwide that manufactures SKII skin-care products, which are the mainstay products
for the company. This plant also provides a high level ofenvironmental performance which has earned the LEED
certiﬁcation for the environmentally-friendly building. The
new plant expanded the production volume of the existing
plant built in 2013 to increase production, packaging, storage
and shipping capabilities. Shinryo Corporation was in chargeof building the air-conditioning and sanitation systems as acontinuation of the existing facility.
The new plant fully and effectively utilizes energy. Shinryo
Corporation implemented a Cogeneration System (CGS)that uses high-efficiency gas engines for the purpose ofenergy savings and cost reduction to facilitate energy use
throughout the entire plant, including the existing facility.
Steam generated through the operation of the CGS supports
the back-up functions when the boiler room is not available
by connecting the steam piping of the boiler room in theexisting plant. Additionally, we installed two 500RT turbo
chillers to share use of heat sources that generate cold
water for air conditioning and production. The cold water for
production is used as cooling water of production equipment
which maintains a constant temperature through storage
in a 180-ton thermal storage tank. Furthermore, the 80°C
hot water emitted from the production line is collected
together with the hot waste water from the existing plant
and used as a heat source for pure water manufacturing
equipment employed on manufacturing lines. This water isalso processed through recycling equipment to reduce water
consumption, such as reuse of air conditioning make up waterand cooling water for pure water manufacturing equipment.

Refreshing Work Style Project

Shinryo Corporation started the Refreshing Work Style Project for work style reform in April 2016, and it is
stepping up to the challenge of full work style reform as a facility construction company. In response to the
Act on the Arrangement of Related Acts to Promote Work Style Reform enacted in April 2019, Shinryo
Corporation will accelerate the realization of our own ideal work style without waiting for 2024 when theupper limit for overtime in the construction industry takes effect.

Expanding Group-wide Efforts in Third Year Activities
The Refreshing Work Style Project to reform work styles at
the Shinryo Corporation began activities to review work styles
in 2016 for the purpose of driving the efficiency of businessexecution. Model teams at construction sites as well as intechnical, design, sales and administrative sections have built
upon innovation to drive operational efficiency and improve
productivity. As we approach our third year in 2019, Shinryo
Corporation has expanded this initiative from the initial seventeams to more than 100 teams in order to broadly spread theactivities to all corporate divisions and branches throughout
Japan. These model teams will continue to steadily promote
work style reform with the goal of improving long working
hours and enhancing the attractiveness of work.

Steady Work Style Reforms Even on Construction Sites
Streamlining On-site Operations Using ICT

Improve the On-site Office

Shinryo Corporation started remote conﬁrmation on multiple
sites using wearable cameras and smartphones to reduceround trips from sites to the office and transportation time
to reach upper ﬂoors. Veteran engineers conﬁrm construction
site images taken using wearable cameras and other devices
from the office or another remote location to conduct
operations that include directing operational procedures andconﬁrming the on-site progress. These professionals can also
fully communicate speciﬁc instructions because the position
and instructions for operations can be written on the live
camera images which can be seen both on-site and at the
remote location.
This allows us to
not only reduce
the amount oftime spent intransport but also
provide clear andproper instructions,which heightens
operational
Using Wearable Cameras for Remote On-Siteefficiency.
Confirmation

On-site construction offices are often temporary offices setup
for use only during the construction period. The office spaces
have traditionally been small and crowded with more andmore people during the height of construction as a common
space shared by multiple companies working on the samesite. The Tokyo Metropolitan Area Division has addressed
this problem by providing a work-friendly environment forpeople to work, which naturally helps drive operational
efficiency. We surveyed the ideal space for each person
through an internal division questionnaire and introduced
improvements that included creating test spaces at several
offices to spread out drawings and conduct meetings as wellas orienting desks to facilitate smooth communication. Thishas heightened operational efficiency and brightened theoffice atmosphere. Employees have shared that they havemore room to breatheand do better work.

Work Style Reform Through Cooperation
Between Construction and Equipment Companies

After Improvements

Feature

VOICE

Shinryo Corporation cooperates with other constructionand equipment companies to reform work styles on
construction sites supervised by the Nagoya Branch. We
hold meetings on work style reforms together with eachcompany to identify the factors and challenges inhibiting
efficient on-site operations. According to feedback atthese meetings that includes too much time and effort tomake decisions on matters as well as a large quantity ofunscheduled tasks preventing workload reductions, eachcompany sets and visualizes the priority for work to fostersmoother coordination and reduce the wait time for orders.
In addition, this has been able to make handing over workon construction sites easier through use of 3D modelingfrom the design
stage as well as
ﬁxing adjustmentsof devices andequipment in orderto quickly isolate
the space used byeach company.

Division

The Tokyo Metropolitan Area Division has promoted eight days
closed every four weeks on principle contractor sites. We verify
the will and commitment to provide these days closed byworking to instill a strong passion in meetings for the setup of
new sites. If closing a site is difficult, we put in place a system toprovide days off for the workers through alternating shifts, but
this is not easy in many cases due to circumstances that include
busy periods during rush jobs and before the completion of
construction. We need more efforts for improvement. I thinkchanging a will changes the action and changing the actionchanges the habit. A strong will and ingenuity will further
closing system while increasing operational efficiency.

Initiatives in the SDGs
Shinryo Corporation has been promoting initiatives sinceﬁscal 2017 by referring to schemes, such as the SDG
Compass: The guide for business action on the SDGs, which
provides corporate action guidelines for the SDGs.
The SDG Compass is a corporate guideline formulated by
the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI), the United Nations
Global Compact (UNGC), and the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development (WBCSD) which provides a guidein ﬁve steps for companies to deepen the integration of theSDGs in corporate strategy in order to measure and manage
their contribution to the SDGs.

STEP 1

Understanding the SDGs (FY 2017 to FY 2018)

We associated the CSR efforts already in place at Shinryo
Corporation and the targets of the SDGs in ﬁscal 2017,
which was the ﬁrst step of these initiatives in the SDGs, andbundled regions of contribution through existing initiatives
to express in a comparison table. We strove in the following
two areas in ﬁscal 2018 with the aim of integrating SDGs
and businesses in the second consecutive year:(1) Deepen understanding about SDGs
(2) Debate new business opportunities from a perspective of
SDGs
In regards to (1), we held a seminar by inviting an outside
instructor from the Japan Forum of Business and Society,the only CSR society in Japan. This seminar was attended
by all Executive Officers under the President, management
in a position of General Manager or above and Presidentsof the Group companies as a national conference with theparticipation of 89 people.
As part of (2), we held a workshop to investigate new

Defining Priorities (Selecting Priority Subjects for FY 2019)

In ﬁscal 2019, we used an evaluation sheet to analyze
priority subjects from both the impact on the evaluation anddecision making of stakeholders and the impact of Shinryo
Corporation on the economy, environment and society
according to the 169 targets and 232 indicators of the SDGs
in the effort to organize and select priority subjects.

SDGs DIALOGUE

Idea Exchange Meeting with Experts to
Examine the Validity and Objectivity ofPriority Subjects
Shinryo Corporation invited Hidemi Tomita, Director Lloyd’s
Register Japan K.K. for an idea exchange meeting with membersof the Sustainability Promotion Committee about the process aswell as validity and objectivity of the priority issues that wereselected. This section introduces the insight provided by Mr.
Hidemi Tomita.

Q. What is the significance of using the concepts
behind the SDGs in the selection of priority
subjects?

Director
Llyod’s Register Japan
K.K.
Mr. Hidemi Tomita cultivated experience in CSR
management at a business ﬁrm before joining
Lloyd’s Register Japan K.K. in 2013. He wasappointed Director in 2016. He has participatedin the formulation of international standards
that include the ISO26000, ISO20400, and the
GRI Standards in addition to serving on multiple
government committees.

recognized as a new challenge because this has beenthoroughly addressed at Shinryo Corporation. However,even if these initiatives are a matter of course, theimportance needs to be fully speciﬁed.
As the organization of priority issues progresses with
the SDGs, similar priority subjects inevitably come up
in the same business ﬁeld. I would like to see Shinryo
Corporation present its uniqueness. In this presentation,
the management vision of Shinryo Corporation tocreate a freshening world could provide a great hint.
Even in terms of energy or comfort, I know Shinryo
Corporation has unique value it can provide to the world.

Q. What should our company do for each
employee to recognize their own role?
Permeating the uniqueness of Shinryo and a launchpadfrom construction sites is important to not endpriority subjects as an idea up in the clouds. Thiseven has signiﬁcance to the Sustainability Promotion
Committee, which works to deﬁne priority subjects.
The composition of members brought together fromeach internal department and the system to engage indaily operations are ideal as a decision-making process.
Cross-organizational teams are a major key in easily
soliciting ideas internally and fostering understanding
and unity on-site.
Priority subjects change with time. Continually
selecting subjects and ﬁguring out how to tie thosesubjects to subsequent efforts is important to thisprocess. I look forward to Shinryo Corporation involving
and expanding the unique priority subjects it chooses
with all of its employees.

Sustainability Promotion Management

Shinryo Corporation can more deeply understand its
stakeholders from a broader standpoint by organizing
priority subjects based on the SDGs. The signiﬁcancetends to concentrate on the company itself andbusiness partners because Shinryo Corporation is a
mid-stream company of the supply chain. However, theperspective of SDGs must be considered for not only
the building owners and construction companies who
are direct business partners but also factors such as
the needs of the people working in the building and theworking conditions for the people on-site at partnercompany for example.
The SDGs can also provide business opportunities for
Shinryo Corporation as requirements for society as awhole. By addressing the SDGs as a ﬁrst step, heightening
awareness about the needs of society should help futurebusiness opportunities of Shinryo Corporation.
However, the most important thing to understand isthat the purpose of the SDGs is to realize a sustainable
society, which is different from corporate sustainability.
For example, a foundation for corporate activities anda base to realize SDGs is vital to corporate governance,
but is not a goal of the SDGs because corporate
governance is not a challenge of society. Shinryo
Corporation should not think organizing these subjects
based on the SDGs alone is enough. I would ask that
Shinryo Corporation remembers a base for businessactivities when considering its priority subjects.

Hidemi Tomita

Q. What is lacking in the priority subjects
selected?
Raw material procurement and the human rights of
employees is one major challenge of the constructionindustry as a whole. In particular, human rights may
not be actualized in the current subjects. In the near
future though, there is a potential that the ideal form ofcorporate labor management of secondary and tertiary
dealings will come into question.
Occupational health and safety may not be

Idea Exchange Meeting (Mediator Hidenori Imazu, Japan Forum ofBusiness and Society program member, in Center)

Future Initiatives
We will carefully examine and determine our priority
subjects in the future based on the insight provided by Mr.
Hidemi Tomita. Shinryo Corporation will strive to set Key
Performance Indicators (KPI) for the purpose of STEP 3:
Setting goals and STEP 4: Integrating in accordance withthe determined priority subjects, and address the approval

process by management for those KPI.
We also plan to fully disclose and provide speciﬁc activity
reports of the priority subjects and KPI that are selected aspart of STEP 5: Reporting and communicating in our reportfor the next ﬁscal year after undergoing this process.

Environmental Initiatives
Shinryo corporation minimizes its impact on the environment produced in
the process of handling air, water, heat, and energy while it aims to create acomfortable environment with the mission to Create a Freshening World,which the company has had since its founding. We acquired ISO14001 Environmental Management System in
May 2001. We work to reduce the environmental load by controlling total CO2 emissions that takes into accountthe greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain, managing asbestos, and properly processing andrecycling construction by-products.

Approach to a Decarbonized Society
Shinryo Corporation strives to identify hot spots that impact
the environment and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by
calculating Scope1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Of the6,176,000 ton-CO2 emissions in ﬁscal 2018, most emissions
came from Scope 3 Category 11: Use of Sold Products

followed by Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services. In
the future, we will clarify the close relationship between ourbusiness activities and reductions in the environmental loadin our endeavor to realize a decarbonized society.

Lycoris Sanguinea from the Amaryllidaceae family was reachingfull bloom. This event provided a chance to see a cluster ofroughly 50,000 plants. We enjoyed this adventure into thegrasslands while picking up Japanese horse chestnuts, gazingat Indian lotus and listening to descriptions of the wild birds.
The pale orange flowers of Lycoris Sanguinea blossomed
across the hills under the shade of trees in these plains. The
amazingly stunning sight left me speechless. My entire family was
overjoyed by a day where they could hear detailed explanations
about the various vegetation from the volunteer guides.

Initiatives to Further Work Style Reform
Activities of the Refreshing Work Style ProjectSpreading Throughout the Company
The Act on the Arrangement of Related Acts to Promote
Work Style Reform will enforce an upper limit of overtime
even in the construction industry, which had been excluded
up until now, in April 2024. Shinryo Corporation started theRefreshing Work Style Project (P.29-30 for details about
these activities) in April 2016 with the aim of correcting long
working hours and encouraging more efficient work styles,
which are major challenges faced by the entire constructionindustry. In the beginning, the atmosphere was ﬁlled withanimosity as employees voiced their feeling that work
reforms would be impossible. However, in the third year since
its inception, employees are advocating these activities more
and more with a shift to an active approach to never give up
when unsuccessful by employing ingenuity and systems for
success.

Activities to Raise Employee Sense of Reform

Shinryo Vietnam held lifesaving training in July 2019 withthe participation of 28 safety supervisors and office staff.
Traffic accidents frequently happen in Vietnam due to streetscrowded with motorcycles day and night. This environment
does not allow ambulances to quickly reach construction
sites because of the endless traffic jams. Therefore, I knowteaching Shinryo
