Environmental Management

With the mission to “contribute to the realization of a recycling-oriented society”, we have established environmental management systems at each of our sites, including those overseas. Under our Environmental Philosophy and Policy , we are actively promoting initiatives to reduce environmental impact. We classify the scope of our environmental management as illustrated below, with key issues including the development and distribution of products that help address marine plastic pollution and the reduction of GHG emissions. In terms of climate change countermeasures, we conduct assessments and analyses based on the recommendations of TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and set targets accordingly. These initiatives are implemented through a PDCA cycle to ensure steady progress.

The company recognizes that preserving the global environment is an important issue that affects the survival of future generations. We strive to coexist and harmonize with nature while working toward sustainable development. All employees share this responsibility and will act proactively to protect the global environment as good corporate citizens, under the effective organization and management system of the KPP Group.

We have obtained multiple international environmental certifications, including ISO 14001, forest certifications such as FSC^Ⓡ and PEFC Chain of Custody, and ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification). These certifications play a vital role in ensuring supply chain transparency in line with the disclosure standards of GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) and serve as essential mechanisms for supporting sustainable business operations. Forest certification is an international environmental labeling system that promotes sustainable forest use and ecosystem conservation. It certifies products made from wood sourced from responsibly managed forests, as well as recycled materials and other low-risk controlled sources, ensuring proper management throughout all stages of production, processing, and distribution. ISCC PLUS is a global certification system that verifies the environmental and social sustainability of raw materials such as biomass, waste, and recycled resources across the entire supply chain. Through these certifications, we strengthen responsible sourcing, resource circulation, and climate change countermeasures, thereby contributing to enhanced corporate value and fulfilling our accountability to stakeholders.
