SDGs is an acronym for “Sustainable Development Goals.”
Adopted in September 2015 U.N. Summit, it is a set of goals agreed upon by the international community to be achieved by the U.N. Member States in the 15 years from 2016 to 2030.
It serves as a guide to create a more sustainable future for all people by resolving numerous global challenges we face us such as peace and justice, prosperity, environmental degradation, climate change, poverty and inequality.
Guided by our vision “Creating a sustainable society, for the happiness of tomorrow’s children," Forchile’s business focuses around planning and development of renewable energy and energy saving renovations. We think these activities align with the same direction as “sustainable development” intended by SDGs.
We will redefine our work to alight with SDGs goals such that all of Forchile will move forward as one to achieve our goals.
Forchile’s activities are recognized by Japan SDGs Association
ZEB refers to buildings that aims to achieve net zero balance on annual primary energy consumption. We focus not only on the building itself but also promote creating a sustainable town with lower environmental impact where residents can live in comfort.
SDGs issues and goals we are contributing to:
We construct various solar power plants from low to extra-high voltage such as those in Akune, Kagoshima and Ushiku, Ibaraki. In order to expand the use of renewable energy we will continue to take part in constructions of solar power plants across Japan.
We perform renovations to introduce energy saving measures to the residential, commercial and office buildings. Improving insulation and utilizing double-pane windows maintains room temperature and reduces power used for cooling.

SDGs issues and goals we are contributing to:
Taking advantage of Forchile’s know-how and network of contacts, in addition to aiding in selection and introduction of renewable energy and energy savings appropriate for each community, we also offer aid in developing and establishing business models necessary for sustainable communities.
SDGs issues and goals we are contributing to:
We will aid in developing and establishing a business model to make a sustainable community while taking advantage of distinct characteristics of the region. This will include introduction of renewable energy appropriate for that region as well as carrying out energy saving renovations and reevaluation of the energy environment. Targeting regions with shrinking populations, we aim to create employment opportunities and improve living conditions to increase the number of sustainable communities where people can live with peace of mind.
Energy is a serious issue overseas as well. We will extend our renewable energy and energy saving renovation, building and construction know-how we accumulated domestically to overseas markets. We are currently moving forward with solar power plant construction in Vietnam.
SDGs issues and goals we are contributing to:
To achieve both employee job satisfaction and company growth, we have set “productivity” as a quantifiable company-wide goal to promote working efficiently.

> Every Wednesday work hours are 1 hour shorter and designated a no-overtime day
> A half-day off is available once a month, separate from ordinary paid leave
Adhere to fair hiring process and respect the basic human rights of job applicants.
