Protecting the precious environment
Environmental accounting
We introduced environmental accounting in fiscal 2004 to get a grasp of environmental conservation activities in quantitative terms and promote such activities in an efficient manner.
Basic matters
Scope of calculations
Haseko Corporation's activities
- Completed works at 124 worksites (new building works: 105, demolition works: 19)
- Offices (Tokyo region: Shiba Head Office Building/Yokohama Branch/Haseko Technical Center, Kansai region: Osaka Hiranomachi Building, Nagoya Branch/Kyoto Branch)
Target period
April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021
(Note: As for the 124 worksites of completed works, the target period covers the entire project period. This applies to the items marked with “*” on the tables shown below.)
Aggregation method
The following cost items were aggregated by using "Environmental Accounting Guidelines 2005 (Ministry of the Environment)" and "Environmental Accounting Guidelines in the Construction Industry 2002 (Japan Federation of Construction Contractors)" as reference.
- Business area costs
- Pollution prevention costs: Costs for measures to prevent air pollution, water contamination, noise, vibration, etc. were aggregated.
- Global environmental conservation costs: Costs for measures to prevent global warming, save energy, prevent the destruction of the ozone layer, etc. were aggregated.
- Resource circulation costs: Costs for waste separation/recycling and appropriate processing, etc. were aggregated.
- Upstream/downstream costs
Labor costs incurred in proposing environment-conscious designs were aggregated. - Administration costs
Costs for environmental conservation management activities, including CSR activities, and ISO14001 implementation and maintenance costs were aggregated. - R&D costs
Costs for research and technological development related to environmental conservation were aggregated. - Social activity costs
Costs for making donations, providing assistance, etc. to environmental groups and local communities were aggregated. - Environmental remediation costs
Costs for repairing the surrounding environment and other relevant expenses were aggregated.

Results of Calculation
- The environmental conservation costs in fiscal 2020 totaled 5,195 million yen, a decrease of 1,344 million yen or 20.6% from fiscal 2019.
- 90.3% of the environmental conservation costs was accounted for by the “business area costs,” 83.5% of which was the “resource circulation costs.” The resource circulation costs decreased by 1,433.2 million yen or 26.8% from fiscal 2019.
- The volume of construction waste discharged decreased by 50,300 tons or 7.5% from fiscal 2019.
- CO2 emissions from construction activities (new building construction) was 38,900 tons-CO2. This figure accounts for the CO2 emissions from all the construction projects underway in the period of April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, in accordance with the GHG Protocol, and the basis for this figure is different from that for previous data in terms of target scope and period.
- Copy paper usage in office activities was 11,340,000 sheets, a decrease of 6,570,000 sheets or 36.7% from fiscal 2019.
- CO2 emissions from office activities was 2,642 tons-CO2, an increase of 260 tons-CO2 or 10.9% from fiscal 2019.
