Balance of Input & Output

The Sumitomo Forestry Group accurately understands how its business activities impact the environment and make evaluations and manage them in its environmental management. As such, data on environmental impact is collected at each stage from energy and raw material input to manufacturing and disposal per plant and business to utilize them for reduction initiatives.
