Establishing a New, Environmentally Friendly Housing Materials Distribution System
Sumitomo Forestry has created a new, streamlined housing materials distribution system, and established a new company, Home Eco Logistics Co., Ltd., to operate this new system. Home Eco Logistics utilizes Sumitomo Forestry's expertise in the housing business to reduce costs for the materials manufacturers, retailers and housing companies that entrust their distribution to Home Eco Logistics and its 27 relay centers (as of August 2010) throughout Japan. In addition, as use of this system reduces the number of deliveries for each company, we expect an annual reduction of 5,800 tons in CO2 emissions.
