    Our History of
    Value Creation

    The origins of Japan Pulp & Paper can be traced back to 1845, when the traditional Japanese paper (washi) merchant "Echisan Shoten" was founded in Kyoto. Since then, we have continued to create value while constantly grasping the changes of the times and society and transforming our business.

    We will contribute to the sustainable development of society by identifying the areas in which we can best leverage the three strengths (ability to make proposals, technological strengths, and organizational capabilities) we have built based on trust, drawing up management strategies, taking on challenges, and mobilizing the collective strength of the group.

      In addition to our core paper and paperboard wholesaling business, through the recycling of recovered paper and other materials, paper manufacturing, and our renewable energy businesses, we will become a corporate group with an acute awareness of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that further contributes to a sustainable society and the global environment.

    • A Corporate Group That Strives to Be Considered a Trustworthy and Engaging Partner Both Within and Beyond the Paper Industry
