From fiscal 2006, Sumitomo Mitsui Construction issued CSR Reports in order to give a broad outline of its environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives, which were not covered in the company’s financial statements. Starting from fiscal 2015, Sumitomo Mitsui Construction has instead been issuing a corporate report, with additional financial information, including operating results, management strategy and business overviews as a tool for two-way communication with all stakeholders, bringing together overall initiatives for improving corporate value. In addition, we have stopped publishing printed materials and switched to posting only on the website since fiscal 2021 to reduce environmental impact (The PDF version is available on the website).

Also, there is a questionnaire in the website. We ask you to provide us with your thoughts and opinions so that we can use them as references for future reports.
