Chiyoda Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chiyoda Corporation is a large (484 billion yen revenue and 23.5 billion yen profit in 2006, corresponding to about $4 billion and $200 million) [1] Japanese engineering company specialising in industrial facilities, particularly oil refineries and LNG facilities. Most of its business takes place outside Japan, normally in the Middle East.

In the late sixties it built the Jeddah and Riyadh refineries in Saudi Arabia [2]; at present its large projects include LNG plants in Qatar, the Sakhalin-II project in eastern Russia, and a variety of specialist-chemical and pharmaceutical plants in Japan itself.

It was, in 2005, the first engineering company in the world to be included in the FTSE4Good index of companies with exemplary corporate social responsibility.
