Basic Unit for Calculating Environmental Protection Benefits (FY2021.3)

  • For the cost of pollution prevention and protecting the global environment, the portion of these costs accounted for by construction sites is estimated by using figures from sample sites, construction sales during the fiscal year and other data.
  • The portion of resource recycling costs accounted for by the processing and disposal of construction waste materials from construction sites is the actual amount according to the manifestmultiplied by an average processing unit price for each item at individual branches (cost includes construction sites of Obayashi alone and all costs at joint construction projects where Obayashiis the main contractor)
