Certifications

We have obtained the following certifications.
All sites in Japan gained ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems in 2006 and ISO 9001 certification for quality management systems in 2009. We perform periodic internal audits to ensure that the management systems are effectively established.

We have also obtained FSC^® CoC certification, which is awarded for paper and paper products incorporating FSC^®-certified materials and other controlled sources (FSC^® C020517). FSC^® CoC certification is awarded by the certification body to certify companies that handle paper and paper products incorporating raw materials, which were sourced from appropriately managed FSC^®-certified forests, and recycled resources.

Additionally, manufacturing lines for paper packaging and containers for food products at the Tokyo Plant and the Osaka Plant have obtained certification under FSSC 22000, an international food safety management system, to assure safe, reliable, high-quality packaging for food products.
