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).

For further details on these certifications, please refer to the ESG Data Book.
ISO14001
ISO 14001 is an international standard that sets out a framework for environmentally responsible business operations.
By obtaining certification, a company’s initiatives toward environmental conservation are evaluated by third parties, enabling it to demonstrate a high level of credibility to business partners and society.
We have established an environmental management system (EMS) based on ISO 14001, aiming to achieve both sustainable corporate growth and a reduction in environmental impact.

Scope of application: Kokusai Pulp & Paper Head Office; Kansai Branch Office; Chubu Branch Office; Kyushu Branch Office; Kita Nihon Branch Sendai Sales Dept.; Kita Nihon Branch Sapporo Sales Dept.
Forest Certification
Chain of Custody (CoC) certification for forest certification is a mechanism to prove that "wood and paper products produced from certified forests are managed without mixing at any stage of the supply chain". Rules have been established for the separate management of certified and non-certified materials in each process, including logging, processing, distribution, and sales. Companies must meet strict standards for traceability, book management, and storage methods. Through this, a third party ensures that the forest certification label attached to the final product is actually made from raw materials based on sustainable forest management. It is an important standard that can be said to be essential in the pulp and paper industry.

ISCC PLUS
ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) is an international certification scheme that verifies the environmental and social sustainability of raw materials such as biomass, waste, and recycled materials across the entire supply chain.
It assesses whether criteria related to greenhouse gas emission reductions, the prevention of deforestation, and consideration for social responsibility are met throughout all stages of the supply chain, from raw material sourcing to manufacturing and distribution, and certifies the use of sustainable materials through mechanisms such as the mass balance approach. ISCC PLUS certification is widely used across a broad range of industries, including packaging materials, chemicals, and plastic products.
