Focused on Forward-Looking Investment
TOKYO, May 14, 2021 - Kajima Corporation announced today that its Board of Directors has adopted a resolution approving the new Kajima Group Medium-Term Business Plan (FY2021-2023).
I. Vision and Materiality
In formulating the new Kajima Group Medium-Term Business Plan, the company also established the Kajima Group Vision and re-examined the material issues it had previously identified to ensure that the Kajima Group continues to grow sustainably with society.
1. Vision
The business environment surrounding the Kajima Group has changed rapidly due to a transformation in the industrial structure, people's lives and behaviors, values, as well as global climate change, decarbonization, and advancements in digitalization. In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is having a dramatic impact on the entire world, accelerating the pace of social, economic, and technological change.
To ensure the sustainable growth of the Kajima Group amid this business environment, Kajima recognizes that it must attract diverse human resources and co-create value in collaboration with external resources.

The vision is based upon two key approaches-respecting the past and embracing the challenges of the future. When communicating how the vision will be achieved by practicing the values, a helpful metaphor is that of trees, representing the Group, growing into larger trees. Under the newly created vision, which respects the Kajima Group's heritage and is focused on people and technology, the Group will seize growth opportunities by constantly innovating and embracing challenges, respond to social demands, and seek to increase long-term corporate value.
2. Materiality
The company also re-examined the material issues it had identified previously, based on the major changes in the social environment that have occurred in the last year. By addressing these significant issues, the Kajima Group seeks to deliver both solutions to social challenges and increased corporate value.
- Creating functional urban, regional, and industrial infrastructure capable of meeting new needs
- Developing sustainable and long-lasting social infrastructure
