The Sumitomo Forestry Group regards the Sustainability Report as an important tool for communicating with our stakeholders.
As in previous reports, the fiscal 2019 report continues with coverage of the activity highlights based on the five material issues outlined in the Mid-Term Sustainability Targets, Sustainability Management, Governance, a Social Report and Environmental Report, in addition to Contribution Through Our Business to introduce in more detail the ways in which we are applying sustainability management through our business activities.
In addition to the website, we also publish a pamphlet with content centering on the activity highlights based on the five material issues outlined in the Mid-Term Sustainability Targets, arranged to be used in line with the interests of all our related stakeholders.
We appreciate your feedback on our wide range of sustainable activities.
