Basic Policy

The Sumitomo Forestry Group has set "To improve the livelihood of the local communities where we operate" as one of its nine material issues. Even in its business processes, the Group gives consideration to community development and local social welfare. Furthermore, we are engaging globally in the fields that include the improvement of workplaces and the education of next generation with a focus on forests and wood, which are closely related to the Group's business.

In addition to focusing on providing hands-on forest education to elementary and junior high school students, Sumitomo Forestry actively promotes the restoration of forests damaged by disasters and of famous and precious trees in various regions. We also support the volunteer activities conducted by individual employees in local communities, thereby creating a workplace environment that encourages employees to contribute to their local communities. As for donation, our donation committee quarterly meets and discusses based on our internal donation rules to ensure that the Group will make donations in line with its corporate philosophy or in a manner that contributes to the Group’s business.
