NJS group has contributed to spread and development of water supply and sewerage systems at home and abroad as a"consultant of water and environment" for 65 years since its establishment. Today, Japan faces a period in which water supply and sewerage systems are used very widely while foreign developing counties face an economic growth period: Business issues have been diversified. There are issues common to both domestic and overseas, such as disaster countermeasures associated with climate change, reconstruction or improvement of function of aging facilities, how to manage business in a manner appropriate for a community, environmental and energy measures, etc.

Under these circumstances, NJS group has been promoting “to create an affluent and safe society through water and environmental services” as its corporate philosophy, and enhancing activities to respond to various needs of our clients. As for technology development, we have made efforts on development of ICT system which focuses on mitigation of disaster-caused damages, improvement of monitoring function for facility management, development of business management based on on-site needs, energy measures with a view to a hydrogen society, etc. Regarding overseas businesses, we are also seeking to improve technology development and human resources development so as to respond to a variety of needs ranging from construction to business management.

We will continue to refine our technology with 65 years of history and seek to improve our corporate value through contributing to water and environment of communities.

We are very sorry for making you shareholders worry and causing you so much trouble, as to our employees having been arrested for interfering with the public contract-related competitive bidding. We will continue to thoroughly execute compliance management and expand measures for legal compliance, thereby making full efforts to prevent recurrence and restore confidence. We would ask for your continued understanding and support.
