The Oji Group manufactures products certified by FSC™ (FSC™C014119, etc.) and PEFC (JIA-PEFC-COC-0808, etc.) by making use of forest certification systems that support sustainable forest management.
These products use wood raw materials that conform to the requirements of the systems. We have obtained FM certification*1 for our overseas plantation forest operations and CoC certification*2 for our production, processing, and distribution operations within the Group. By acquiring certification throughout the entire process from forests to processing mills and distribution, we supply a wide range of forest-certified products, from intermediate to finished products such as copy paper and household paper.
In addition, we have the Forest Certification System Implementation Committee within the Group to ensure the proper operation and effective use of forest certification systems.
At Oji Group, we adhere to our Wood Raw Material Procurement Guidelines to ensure all suppliers produce sustainable wood materials. We verify compliance through the FSC forest certification system. All wood materials we procure meet FSC standards, including FSC -certified wood and controlled wood*1.
Suppliers holding FSC -CoC certification undergo third-party audits, which enhance traceability and ensure proper management at every stage of the supply chain. By leveraging this certification system, we can guarantee that our wood procurement process aligns with strict sustainability standards. The results of these audits are publicly accessible online.
