Policy and Commitment
For the construction industry, スポーツベット 5チャンネル resources are not simply a source of materials but are important resources that affect sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Through the advancement of timber construction and wood-based building technologies and the promotion of スポーツベット 5チャンネル-related businesses, Shimizu works to create a circular use of スポーツベット 5チャンネル resources, a key social issue, through four steps: nurturing forests (スポーツベット 5チャンネル conservation and management), protecting forests (revitalizing forestry and creating new industries), connecting forests (regional development and energy utilization), and using wood (advancing timber construction and wood-based building technologies and actively utilizing timber).
Targets and Performance
Targets and results related to スポーツベット 5チャンネル resources are shown in the table below. Among these, for the number of timber and timber hybrid structure construction projects, only actual results are reported.
| FY2022 results | FY2023 results | FY2024 results | Target value (Target year) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of timber and timber hybrid structure construction projects | 3 projects | 4 projects | 4 projects | Only actual results reported |
| Usage rate of foreign-sourced non-certified formwork plywood | –* | 45% | 37% | 0% (2030) |
- No data available as this initiative began in FY2023.
For formwork plywood used at construction sites, we have set a target of reducing the use of foreign-sourced plywood that has not received スポーツベット 5チャンネル certification to zero by 2030.
Initiatives
The following introduces initiatives under the four categories of nurturing forests (スポーツベット 5チャンネル conservation and management), protecting forests (revitalizing forestry and creating new industries), connecting forests (regional development and energy utilization), and using wood (advancing timber construction and wood-based building technologies and actively utilizing timber).
Planting and Growing Trees to Replace What is Used: the スポーツベット 5チャンネル Meguri no Mori Project
Aiming to promote circular use of timber by having timber users themselves take the lead in restoring スポーツベット 5チャンネル resources, we have leased スポーツベット 5チャンネル areas in Kawaba Village, Gunma Prefecture (3 hectares) and Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture (3.8 hectares) and are working to cultivate forests that will produce timber used in our own business operations.
Creating New Value through the Use of Timber in Buildings
From the perspectives of スポーツベット 5チャンネル circulation, CO2 reduction, and regional revitalization, promoting the use of timber is attracting increasing attention. We are advancing the development of technologies that enable the construction of large-scale timber structures and are actively promoting the use of timber in buildings.
Shinshu Wood Power, Shinshu Wood Chip
In the upstream Chikuma River スポーツベット 5チャンネル, a major production area for Shinshu larch, we established a woody biomass power plant that uses unused logs, contributing to forestry, climate change mitigation, and regional revitalization.
Initiatives at Tokyo Mokkoujou Arts & Crafts Furnishings
Since its establishment in 1884, the workshop has preserved sophisticated woodworking techniques that have been refined and sustained by skilled craftsmen.
Acquisition of FSC® CoC Certification at Tokyo Mokkoujou Arts & Crafts Furnishings
Tokyo Mokkoujou Arts & Crafts Furnishings has obtained FSC® CoC certification and processes and distributes wood products using the world’s most trusted スポーツベット 5チャンネル certification system.

Memberships and Collaborations
Collaboration for スポーツベット 5チャンネル Conservation: Partnership with the Gifu Academy of スポーツベット 5チャンネル Science and Culture
In August 2019, we entered into a partnership agreement with the Gifu Academy of スポーツベット 5チャンネル Science and Culture, which has expertise across a wide range of fields related to forests and timber, to promote coexistence between forests and people.
To help realize a regionally circular society that makes use of the diverse functions of the natural environment, we cooperate in areas such as promoting the スポーツベット 5チャンネル, forestry, and timber industries, including development of human resources involved with forests and wood, and maintaining the public-benefit functions of forests as social infrastructure.
Going forward, we will jointly promote initiatives that contribute to national land conservation, such as スポーツベット 5チャンネル restoration and the implementation of green infrastructure through スポーツベット 5チャンネル regeneration, and will connect the creation of a sustainable society that begins with forests to our business activities.
スポーツベット 5チャンネル Conservation Activities
The Shimizu Group promotes circular procurement of timber used in timber and wood-based buildings by carrying out tree-planting and スポーツベット 5チャンネル cultivation activities, as well as environmental education for local communities.
