Description
We believe that what is needed today is (1) to create cleaner energy than ever before, to save energy and switch to renewable energy in the life cycle of structures, and (2) to take concrete measures and repair against climate variability.
Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
Objective: To manage Tamagawagumi Corporation so that it is friendly to the earth and local community.
Action: Use of natural energy for a clean earth and community.
Initiative:
① Participation in solar energy enterprise.
② Reduce impact on the environment by using clean energy at all workplaces.
Details:
① Since October 2013, set up solar panels in four locations in Hokkaido. Established ITK Solar Hokkaido Ltd by a joint investment with three construction companies.
② Use solar panels as the source of energy for the light board and emergency exit lights at construction sites.
Since we acquired ISO14001 in 2002, we have been involved in the environment in our business activities. In an effort to reduce the impact, it started a jointly funded solar power generation business in October 2013, providing clean electricity to the region in Hokkaido. In addition, in our business activities, we use solar panels for lights at construction sites and use generators.
Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Objective: In coexisting with management, Tamagawagumi Corporation is constantly making efforts to protect the environment.
Action: In order to face the impact of climate change we assist in a disaster.
Initiative:
① The signing of a disaster agreement
② Carry out early disaster relief
③ Establish a plan to help companies rebuild after a disaster
④ Carry out emergency drills
Details:
① We contribute to the community with a joint agreement with the Development Bureau, Hokkaido and Eniwa, Hokkaido.
② When there is a disaster, emergency treatment and emergency support vehicles are provided
③ Formation of Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and, for the survival of the company, clarify disaster response with staff and prepare goods and resources
④ Every year emergency drills are carried out
For disasters, we will formulate a business continuity plan to strengthen our company and conclude disaster agreements with each region to contribute to the restoration of disaster areas. The site of the company is designated as a temporary evacuation site in the event of a disaster in the city, and can be used by many local residents, such as storing emergency drinking water, keeping a generator, and opening a large warehouse.
Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Annual total power generation is about 5.2Mw. From 2013 to 2030 we aim to generate 88.4Mw for the annual power consumption of about 23,800 household. To curb global warming by generating clean power.
Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Disasters are occurring around the world every year due to climate change. Tamagawagumi Business Continuity Plan (BCP) was formulated and has strengthened the response and resilience for disasters and in order to fulfill the role as a construction company we strive to contribute to the rapid recovery of the affected area.
