Hosted the Sixth School for “SDGs Study Visit & Learning Program”
 

On June 26, 2024, we hosted 19 students from Tamano Konan High School in Okayama Prefecture for the " SDGs Study Visit & Learning Program," which is part of their school. We gave a lecture  on the importance of forests, the impact of deforestation, and the forest certification system, SGEC and PEFC as a countermeasure against global warming, etc. 

As more and more companies focus on sustainability and ESG management, there is a growing interest in acquiring forest certification. Forest certification consulting services exist to meet this need. Expert consultants provide answers to questions and issues faced by companies and support them in the process of acquiring forest certification.
