ESG / SDGs Initiatives

Remote work and telecommuting system

We have implemented a system that respects the work-life balance of employees.
We are able to work from home nationwide, allowing employees to work flexibly in accordance with their lifestyles.
As of March 2021, more than 80% of all employees worked from home.

Side business system

In order to support the career plans of young employees, and to create a place where employees can thrive without being constrained by fixed concepts, we have implemented a side-business system.

Flex-time system

We have introduced a flextime system that allows employees to set work hours in line with their lifestyles. The attendance management system has also been renovated so that it can respond to flex time, and the core time is set at 11:00 to 16:00 to improve the efficiency of operations.
We are aiming to build a more comfortable work environment by emphasizing the work-life balance of employees with children.

Active recruitment of global human resources

Our global employees account for 12% of the total*, and we will continue to strive to recruit and train global human resources in the future.
They are also active in systems and sales divisions, including multilingual support centers for end users.
※ Global employees refer to employees with foreign nationalities.entage as of June 2024

Employment of senior recruitment and handicap personnel

Athlete recruitment

We actively recruit sports players and athletes with the aim of supporting the second careers of retired athletes in order to provide an environment in which active athletes can continue to compete with peace of mind.

Provision of online support services

We will promote remote work and the company to online by spreading our online support services, such as VPN services and telework-compatible Residence Wi-Fi services.
Companies contribute to the reduction of resources and greenhouse gas emissions by bringing them online.

Reduction of paper resources through companywide remote work

We aim to reduce all types of resources by conducting remote work on a company-wide basis.
By introducing an electronic contract system and digitizing contracts, we are implementing reductions in printed matter and paperless operations.
In the future, we plan to introduce electronic invoices and electronic construction reports.

Environmental protection through renewable energy

In the renewable energy (electricity) business, we will establish a system that enables all of our business sites to procure electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030.
In March 2022, we built a renewable energy-compatible condominium in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, and began demonstration tests.

Waste recycling

We also select companies that are proactive in recycling waste for industrial waste collection companies, and implement 100% recycling to return materials and energy that protect the living environment to society.

Providing fair educational opportunities by introducing Wi-Fi to student dormitories and schools

We are focusing on improving Wi-Fi for student dormitories and schools.
Now that online learning has become the norm, we will provide equitable learning opportunities for any student by creating a communication infrastructure service.
We are contributing to foreign language classes through providing the internet by building the wireless internet infrastructure in all classrooms and dormitories of some private high schools.

Responding to remote lessons and tele-schools by expanding Residence Wi-Fi

By disseminating Residence Wi-Fi, we will contribute to more comfortable in-home learning and remote classes.
We realize remote classes by building the wireless internet infrastructure in national public or private universities and private dormitory rooms.

Build a foundation for remote work and promote new work styles

By providing VPN services and event Wi-Fi services for on-line distribution, we will create a foundation for remote work and contribute to the promotion of new ways of working.

Providing Wi-Fi in Cooperation with Local Organizations

We are promoting the revitalization of local communities by installing Wi-Fi in cooperation with municipalities such as Higashi-Kagura Town, Toyako Town, and Kutchan Town in Hokkaido.

Free Wi-Fi opening at the time of disaster

We temporarily open our Wi-Fi free of charge and free of certification so that we can check safety and gather information without relying on mobile phone lines, without blocking the communication network in the event of a major disaster such as an earthquake or flood.

Promoting IT in living environments and strengthening security through Home IoT

We will promote FG Home IoT and improve IT of the living environment.
In addition, we are strengthening security and monitoring through IoT and network cameras, with the aim of becoming a society in which people can live safely.
We constructed IoT compliant condominiums in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture in November 2020 and Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture in March 2022, thereby realizing IoT of all condominiums.
FG Home IoT have already been introduced to rental apartment buildings, contributing to improved comfort and energy-efficiency in living.

Cooperation with local SDGs groups

We are participating in the Regional Revitalization SDGs Public-Private Partnership Platform and the Hokkaido SDGs Promotion Network, and are working together to achieve SDGs.
