Message from the Chairperson

The question now facing humanity is how to use the planet’s limited resources wisely.

Earth is a water-rich planet, yet only about 0.8% of its water is freshwater available for

human use, while approximately 97% is seawater. In addition, most freshwater is used for

food production, particularly in agriculture.

Food-related issues affect people around the world. However, agricultural challenges vary

depending on social and natural conditions. In developing countries, agricultural

constraints can lead to serious difficulties, including the risk of famine. Even Japan faces

challenges in the effective use of its limited farmland. Humanity faces a wide range of

agricultural issues.

Sanyu Consultants Inc. has been engaged both locally and internationally as an engineering

consulting firm in agriculture, rural development, and water resources development,

contributing to the effective use of limited water resources for the prosperity of humanity.

We celebrated our 60th anniversary on June 22, 2022. In this turbulent era, our history of

over half a century demonstrates the continuing need for our role as an engineering

consulting firm. Sanyu Consultants Inc. was established in 1962 following the Aichi

Irrigation Development Project, postwar Japan’s first large-scale agricultural development

project funded by a World Bank loan. Since then, Sanyu Consultants Inc. has contributed

to numerous development projects both locally and internationally and is now recognized

as one of Japan’s leading engineering consulting firms in the fields of agriculture, rural

development, and water resources development.

Our corporate philosophy, “The Spirit of Helping, the Joy of Helping,” reflects our mission

to contribute to the well-being of people around the world through our technical expertise

as an engineering consulting firm.

To embody this philosophy, our mission statement declares: “We contribute to the

development of society and humanity by delivering safe water, food, and energy.”

With over half a century of experience, we will continue to enhance our technical expertise

and contribute to the world as an engineering consulting firm dedicated to serving

humanity.

We appreciate your continued support of our activities.
