President Yukio Hasegawa
“We will contribute to the creation of a more prosperous society.”
This is the management philosophy that the JDC Group has valued and carried forward over the years. Since our founding, we have worked to address the challenges facing society and local communities and to create a better society through the development of social infrastructure and buildings that support people’s daily lives. This philosophy remains unchanged even as the times change and continues to form the foundation of all our business activities.
Established in 1951, JDC CORPORATION has contributed to community development in Japan over the decades, from postwar reconstruction and rapid economic growth to the maintenance and development of social infrastructure. Since joining the Company in 1990, I have gained a wide range of experience, primarily at construction sites in the Building Construction business. Through these experiences, I have come to realize that construction is never something that can be accomplished by one person alone but is supported by relationships of trust with many people. I believe that our connections with our customers, business partners, local communities, and above all, each and every one of our employees are among our greatest assets.
Today, the construction industry is undergoing significant change. In addition to rising material and labor costs and the need to address labor shortages, new challenges and expectations are emerging, including those related to the transition to a decarbonized society and advances in digital technology. The JDC Group sees addressing these social challenges as an opportunity for growth. We will further strengthen the foundations of our Civil Engineering, Building Construction, Real Estate, and Renewable Energy businesses, while actively taking on the challenge of creating new businesses. To achieve sustainable growth, we will also promote DX (Digital Transformation) and the mechanization of construction operations to improve productivity, further enhance the development of our people, and advance our GX (Green Transformation) initiatives. In particular, we regard creating an environment in which every employee can take pride and find fulfillment in their work and fully demonstrate their abilities as an important management priority. We will continue working to build a company where diverse people can thrive.
My guiding principle is Sangen-shugi, or the “Three Actuals”—san meaning “three” and gen meaning “actual”: gemba (the actual workplace), gembutsu (the actual thing), and genjitsu (the actual situation). By visiting our workplaces, engaging in dialogue with our employees, and listening sincerely to the voices of our customers and society, I will continue to take on new challenges without fear of change. Together with all our stakeholders, we will continue to build relationships of trust, contribute to the creation of a more prosperous society, and strive to achieve the sustainable growth of both the JDC Group and society.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support of the JDC Group.
Yukio Hasegawa
