About Sumitomo Forestry
Sumitomo Forestry, established in 1691, is a Japanese company with a rich history of over 300 years that provides various products and services related to wood and the environment. The Sumitomo Forestry Group announced its long-term vision “Mission TREEING 2030” and is focused on initiatives to realize a decarbonized society. Implementing the Sumitomo Forestry’s “wood cycle,” which is a value chain centered on wood, from forest management to procurement and manufacturing of timber and building materials, contracting for detached houses and medium-to large-scale wooden constructions, real estate development, and biomass power generation, makes it possible to increase the amount of CO2 absorbed by forests and continue to store carbon for extended periods through the use of timber in construction. Sumitomo Forestry will contribute to decarbonization not only within its group but also in the operations of its customers and trading partners and society as a whole by implementing this “wood cycle.”
