Tekken Kensetsu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Masato Imai) has, for the first time as the Tekken Kensetsu Group, formulated its purpose: "For cities that keep moving, power that keeps evolving."
In conjunction, it has established its mission, indicating its value proposition to society, as "continuing to update cities as a social problem-solving company," and has clarified its vision for 2044, marking its 100th anniversary, as the "100th Anniversary Dream."
Our group, with railway construction as its origin, has consistently created and protected social infrastructure supporting people's lives—including roads, lifelines, stations, station buildings, residences, and public facilities—as well as spaces where people gather and spend time.
Meanwhile, the business environment surrounding our group has changed significantly due to factors such as the aging of social infrastructure, preparedness for disasters, environmental considerations, and diversifying values. Even in such times, to remain a company that continues to provide value to society, we have embedded in our purpose the stance of continuously evolving with cities, supporting the everyday aspects of urban life, built upon the "trust and technology" we have cultivated.
Key Visual and Purpose
1. Thoughts Behind the Purpose
The phrase "cities that keep moving" encompasses all social infrastructure that supports people's lives, including railways. This infrastructure is an "everyday" necessity that supports people's lives and cannot be stopped. Our group has taken on the responsibility of ensuring that people's activities are not interrupted in these continuously moving cities.
The phrase "power that keeps evolving" contains two meanings: the evolution of cities and the evolution of our group itself. As times change, the roles required of cities also change. Social infrastructure also needs to continuously evolve, adapting to aging, preparing for disasters, considering the environment, and responding to new values. And our group, which supports this, must continue to evolve by refining its technology, reviewing its methods, and connecting knowledge across generations.
Furthermore, the purpose is linked with the particle "を" (wo) to leave room for each individual to connect it to their own work, treating it as an incomplete phrase.
2. About the Mission and the 100th Anniversary Dream
The mission, "continuing to update cities as a social problem-solving company," indicates our group's role: not merely building social infrastructure and structures, but continuously updating them in line with the times, while preserving existing urban functions and people's activities.
The 100th Anniversary Dream, on the other hand, indicates a long-term direction that had not been sufficiently articulated until now, organizing the desired future state from the following six perspectives. In conjunction with this formulation, the relationships among the Purpose, Mission, 100th Anniversary Dream, and existing management philosophies and company principles have also been clarified.
3. About the Key Visual
In conjunction with this purpose formulation, a key visual expressing the worldview of the purpose has also been determined. The key visual represents "the foundation supporting cities" with horizontal lines and "spaces where people gather" with vertical lines. By overlaying the sense of activity and growing power onto these, it expresses the moving cities and our group's will to support their evolution.
The formulated Purpose, Mission, and 100th Anniversary Dream are not mere slogans but serve as guiding principles for our group's future decision-making and business activities. Moving forward, with the Purpose as our cornerstone, we will promote concrete management plans and measures, including updates to the Mid-term Management Plan 2028, and continue to evolve as a company that supports cities and nurtures the future.
