Green Energy Company Enters the Healthcare Sector

Tokyo & Tokushima, Japan – Green Energy Company is making strides in the healthcare sector by signing an exciting contract with SMS Group for a innovative daytime support-type group home facility in Tokushima. This new endeavor marks the first step in their healthcare business expansion.

Green Energy Life, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Energy Company, will lead this initiative. This state-of-the-art facility will be known as “Green Care Life Tokushima” and aims to provide a home for individuals with severe disabilities, offering a safe community living environment supported by 24-hour care and assistance.

• - Name: Green Care Life Tokushima
• - Location: Aojin Town, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture
• - Facility Size: Two-story wooden structure; total area of 546.54 square meters (165.33 tsubo)

What is a Support-type Group Home?

This facility type allows individuals with severe disabilities to live in a community setting, receiving round-the-clock assistance with daily activities like meals and bathing. It also offers short-term accommodation for emergencies, ensuring that those who require support can live comfortably in a familiar environment.

The Need for Enhanced Healthcare Facilities

In recent years, the demand for disability welfare services has surged, partly due to the increasing severity of disabilities and the aging of caregivers. Currently, over 20,000 individuals nationwide are awaiting entry into such facilities. Alarmingly, only about 10% of those seeking services feel that satisfactory support is currently available. Addressing the need for quality support and facilities is becoming a pressing social issue.

Many existing facilities lack adequate insulation, seismic resistance, functionality, and design. This often leads to elevated operational costs, posing a financial burden on service providers and increasing the risk of business continuity.

Green Energy Company aims to resolve these challenges with a vision of creating sustainable communities through innovative solutions.

“Implementing our purpose of achieving a sustainable society through new norms, we are progressing our business to solve social issues,” said Takafumi Suzie, CEO of Green Energy Company. “With our focus now on healthcare, we are committed to developing ZEH-compliant welfare and healthcare facilities.”

The 'Micro GX' Concept

At the forefront of this commitment is the “Micro GX” initiative, which promotes local individuals and businesses' active participation in renewable energy generation for community profit and sustainable development. The recent contract manifests this concept capability within the healthcare domain.

Using their standardized construction capabilities, Green Energy Life plans to deliver cost-effective facilities without compromising on insulation, seismic resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Solar power integration will significantly reduce the operational costs for service providers, ensuring stable operations and long-term profitability for investors.

Future Developments

The signing of this contract kicks off the Green Care Life brand in healthcare, with plans to establish a solid business foundation across Shikoku. Eventually, Green Energy Company aims to implement this business model in various regions to tackle the growing issues faced by the welfare infrastructure across Japan.

This strategic move exemplifies Green Energy Company's commitment to solving social challenges while enhancing their corporate value.

Facilities’ Design Features

1. Exterior: Past designs leverage a box-like structure resistant to seismic activity. The building meets seismic class 3 standards to minimize future maintenance costs, showcasing a sustainable design with an appealingly simple aesthetic that will endure the test of time.

2. Interior: Incorporating the trendy café-style design, the facility's interiors are attractive and inviting for both residents and their families, breaking the traditional notions associated with welfare facilities. The interior design prioritizes staff efficiency by focusing on visibility and workflow, ultimately enhancing operational effectiveness.
