    JR EAST GROUP CSR REPORT 2015 Society Relationship with Society Basic Approach to Collaborating with Communities The JR East Group’s very existence depends on the health of the east Japan area and of Japan as a whole. As a company responsible for a form of social infrastructure (i.e., railways), and as a member of the community, we work together with communities in order to take actions aimed at achieving their desired future. In addition, we actively implement community vitalization and tourism promotion measures that leverage the unique capabilities of our group, as well as pushing forward with the creation of appealing urban areas centering on train stations. With communities As a member of the local community, JR East has a strong interest in the community’s future and works for its improvement by enhancing the areas along our railway lines to establish a lineside brand that will be chosen by customers, through developments such as our“Station Renaissance” program. At Tokyo Station, on the Marunouchi side, the work to preserve and restore Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi station building was completed. On the Yaesu side, in addition to GranTokyo North Tower and South Tower and the GranRoof, a square was completed in front of the Yaesu Exit in fall 2014. These developments are called Tokyo Station City and form part of the concept of developing Tokyo Station into a complete city. Our goal is to create a station that will serve as a center that represents new cultures, while also serving as a spectacular gateway to Metropolitan Tokyo. We are promoting the Chuo Line Mall Project for utilization of the space under elevated railway tracks between Mitaka and Tachikawa Stations on the Chuo Line.

  • Jr East Group Csr Report 2013
    Safety JR EAST GROUP CSR REPORT 2013 Measures taken since the accident on the Uetsu Line On December 25, 2005, the limited express train Inaho No.14 derailed between Sagoshi and Kita- Amarume Stations near the No. 2 Mogami-gawa Bridge. We would like to report on the measures we have taken since this accident. Increased number of anemometers (wind meters) JR East has increased the number of anemometers at the accident site between Sagoshi and Kita- Amarume Stations. In addition, for sections with operational restrictions when there are strong winds, we established multiple anemometers as our new standard and increased the number of anemometers in locations where windbreak fences were installed. By reconfirming the requirements for wind restrictions on sections of railway lines, using information from front-line employees, topography, and wind conditions of the areas, and adding new operation restriction sections, we are working to improve our safety observation network to counter the effects of these strong winds. With this reinforcement, since the accident, JR East has installed a total of 599 anemometers for its conventional and Shinkansen lines, and the total number of anemometers installed as of March 31, 2013 was 916: 758 on conventional lines and 158 on Shinkansen lines. As of Dec. 25th, As of Mar. 31st, Increase 2005: A 2013: B (B-A) Conventional lines 228units 758units +530units Shinkansen lines 89units 158units +69units Total 317units 916units +599units Installation of windbreak fences In order to reduce wind force on trains, we have installed windbreak fences at the following locations: <As of Mar. 31, 2013> Line Name Section Location of Installation Time Completed 1 Tokaido Main Line Adjoining Nebukawa Station Both sides of the line Jul.
