I have now been inaugurated as the new President of EJEC, succeeding Mr. Yuji Kotani who has worked tirelessly as our President for 27 years. I am determined to do my best to increase the status as well as reputation of EJEC in the civil engineering consultant industry and I look forward to your continued support.<br\/>\r\nSince the merger and establishment as a new company in 2009, EJEC has steadily grown to meet its mission of \"fulfilment of corporate social responsibility and contribution to the welfare of humankind while increasing the corporate value through the performance of excellent technologies to meet the challenges associated with the global environment, national land protection and infrastructure development in local areas\".<br\/>\r\nTo achieve further advancement, we are now in the third year of the Fifth Medium Term Management Plan (2021 \u2013 2024; hereinafter referred to as the 5th M-T Plan). Lasting for four years, this 5th M-T Plan is considered to constitute a period of consolidation as a base to materialise our future vision of becoming \"a corporation which shapes subsequent generations\" by 2030. We will make every effort to inherit as well as advance the policies expressed in the Long-Term Vision 2030 and the 5th M-T Plan in order to pass the baton for a better future to the next generation.<br\/>\r\nI will endeavour to speedily achieve our goals under the new business management set-up and wholeheartedly seek your much-valued continued support and guidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comText right\">KIN Seikan<br\/>\r\nPresent<br\/>\r\nEight-Japan Engineering Consultants Inc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"comInfoBox\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comBox03__\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"comLinkList02\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/web\/message\/\">\u4ee3\u8868\u30e1\u30c3\u30bb\u30fc\u30b8<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name New Position Previous Position KOTANI Yuji Chairperson President KIN Seikan President Executive Director Brief Personal History April, 1987 Joined Japan Engineering Consultants Co., Ltd.
