Nippon Paper Industries Joins International Sustainable Forestry Coalition
The International Sustainable Forestry Coalition (ISFC) announces that Nippon Paper Industries has joined the Coalition in the Full Member category.
Nippon Paper Industries is one of the largest forest and paper companies in the world. It has more than 15,000 employees globally and is the largest processor by volume of wood in Japan. Equipped with its innovative technological assets from genomic selection for plantation tree breeding to cellulosic biorefinery for bioethanol, cattle feed and more, Nippon Paper Industries brings to the ISFC an ambitious vision for maximizing the value of natural capital.
Nippon Paper Industries is a highly respected international forestry company, with a history of processing innovation and stewardship of nature. Having Nippon Paper Industries’ voice integrated with the rest of our membership will increase our capacity to advocate for an expanded role for the forestry sector in the transition to a circular bioeconomy and sustainable land use systems that contribute to climate change outcomes and the conservation of nature.
Dr. David Brand, Independent Chair of the ISFC
“The ISFC now represents companies which own, manage or invest in some 18 million hectares (45 million acres) in 37 countries on all six forest growing continents.”
