Local Communities

As we expand our business activities, we recognize that it is essential for us to reduce the environmental impact on communities and to achieve coexistence and co-prosperity through social and economic contributions. As such, we have identified “Local Communities” as one of our material issues. We sponsor events in collaboration with local governments and work to promote understanding of resource recycling.

In February 2025, we held a workshop in partnership with our customer Gakken where children could make their own notebooks out of their favorite types of paper, as part of Tokyo’s Shinagawa ward’s “Exciting ★ SDGs Children’s Future Operation” event. The purpose of this workshop was to provide an opportunity to consider environmental issues while learning about paper. The event was held in two parts. In the first half, participants learned about paper and environmental conservation through a quiz, and in the second half, they chose their favorite types of paper and made their own original notebooks. About 100 parents and children participated on the day, and they energetically responded to the questions from the quiz. When making the notebooks, they carefully read about and compared the different characteristics and applications of each type of paper, and then diligently made their own unique notebooks. Going forward, the group will continue to conduct activities that contribute to the local community and environment in order to achieve the group mission of “Carving a better future for society and the environment.”
