In all of its operations, the Nippon Paper Group has been consistently committed to working in harmony with the environment. Since fiscal 2000, our major subsidiaries have been introducing environmental accounting and have taken the initiative in supplying information in their annual environmental reports.
Our Group is also aware that its efforts to promote sustainable business development hinge on more than just our financial and environmental policy and that issues such as our philosophies, fairness and risk management as a member of society will be of critical importance to our success. To win the trust of the general public, we will expand and strengthen our environmental management structure. To discharge our obligations to society, including those related to corporate ethics, we have established a structure, outlined below, to promote CSR activities throughout the Nippon Paper Group.
