The Oji Group clearly states in the Group Environmental Action Program that it will maintain and manage the multi-faceted functions of forests through biodiversity conservation* and other initiatives.
* Biodiversity conservation refers to activities under the Biodiversity-Conscious Forest Practice Policy (established in 2003), including well-planned forest practices, designation of environmental protection forests, restoration of natural forests, protection and nurturing of rare species of animals and endangered species, and ecosystem surveys.
The Oji Group has set a goal of conserving biodiversity in its Environmental Vision 2050 and Environmental Action Program 2030. We promote ecosystem-friendly forest management, the protection and cultivation of rare animals and plants, and have established and implemented a policy for research and development of biodegradable and biomass materials to maintain ecosystems.
The Oji Group engages in activities for protecting and nurturing endangered species, maintaining and recovering ecosystems, and other activities in cooperation with governments, administrative authorities, environmental NPOs, academics, local residents, and other parties.
