Basic Policy on Sustainability Initiatives
For 150 years since its foundation in 1873, the Oji Group has continued to achieve growth by expanding its business fields. Our management philosophy is Creation of Innovative Value, Contribution to the Future and the World, and Harmony with Nature and Society. We will push forward with sustainable initiatives rooted in this philosophy aspiring to continue to grow as a corporate group while also creating sustainable value for the future by responding to change.
We pledge to help build a sustainable society through business activities
The resource circulation throughout the value chain, which is a sustainable business model that is the foundation of the Oji Group, is supported by three forms of recycling: forest recycling, in which we practice sustainable forest management by growing, harvesting and planting trees, water recycling, in which we reduce water consumption by circulating and reusing water in manufacturing processes and purify wastewater, and paper recycling, in which we collect and recycle paper products. With a commitment to the establishment of a sustainable society, we will expand this sustainable business model globally.
We are committed to solving environmental and social issues
The Oji Group is dedicated to helping solve environmental and social issues in Japan and abroad as a corporate group that operates globally. Above all, we believe that addressing climate change issues and our responsibility to respect human rights are important global standards of conduct. The Oji Group’s policies are shared not only with employees but throughout the Group's supply chains to ensure that they are fully understood.
We create new sustainable value
Sustainability initiatives also represent a growth opportunity for the Oji Group. In response to the growing awareness of environmental issues, we are dedicated to providing products with the sustainable value demanded by society. For this purpose, we will create new value and functions from wood resources by utilizing a range of core technologies which we have accumulated through paper manufacturing and forestation, which are the founding businesses of the Oji Group. The Oji Group will push forward with sustainability initiatives through its business activities and create social and economic value, thereby contributing to the establishment of a truly prosperous society.
