- ◆Our Company Initiatives
- ▶FSC®（Forest Stewardship Council®）certified
In December 2022, our company obtained FSC®/COC certification (FSC-C184363).
FSC®(Forest Stewardship Council®：The Forest Stewardship Council) (FSC) is an international non-profit organization
whose goal is to spread responsible forest management around the world,
and FSC®certification is an international certification system for responsibly
managed forests and forest products that are appropriately sourced so that
limited forest resources can be used continuously into the future.
In recent years, society and consumers have become increasingly interested
in environmental issues and SDGs.
In this trend, the services and products of “companies and organizations
that do not contribute to the environment” will always be the ones that
are not chosen, and these companies and organizations will continue to
decline unless they take the next step.
Delivering printed materials such as company brochures and product pamphlets
displaying the FSC®label (a logo indicating that the product is FSC®certified) is one effective way to demonstrate to society and consumers
that “the company actually cares about forest issues and the environment
and is making efforts accordingly. It is one of the effective ways to express
to society and consumers that “the company actually cares about forestry
issues and the environment and is making efforts accordingly.
