The Oji Group Biodiversity Commitment

With a strong commitment to continuing nature-positive management and achieving the targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), the Oji Group pledges to avoid and reduce contributions to drivers of nature loss, reduce threats to biodiversity, and restore and regenerate ecosystems.

Commitment

While maintaining our sustainable forest management and wood material procurement practices, we commit to avoiding and reducing drivers of nature loss in our operations and value chain, and to restoring and regenerating ecosystems by 2030.

Actions we take to avoid and reduce contributions to drivers of nature loss:

  • We are committed to “No Deforestation and No Conversion.” (GBF Target 1)
  • We maintain the water resource conservation function of forests and contribute to the creation of freshwater resources. (GBF Target 11)
  • We prevent nature loss by reducing or eliminating air, water and waste pollution. (GBF Target 7)
  • We mitigate pollution risks and the impact of pollution from plastics throughout our value chain by expanding sales of renewable eco-friendly paper products. (GBF Target 7)
  • We mitigate climate change, which is closely related to biodiversity, by maintaining and promoting the absorption and sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide through our self-managed plantations and natural forests. (GBF Target 8)

Actions we take to restore and regenerate ecosystems:

  • We restore and regenerate the ecosystems of our company-owned forests through the regeneration of natural forests. (GBF Target 2)
  • We restore and regenerate the ecosystems outside our company-owned land through the establishment of ecological corridors. (GBF Target 2)

Actions we take to engage stakeholders:

  • We conduct our business activities while respecting the human rights of stakeholders, including indigenous peoples and local communities. (GBF Target 1, 22)
  • We provide access to remedy for stakeholders in accordance with the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council. (GBF Target 9)
