Contributions to environmental conservation and community formation through cooperation with communities
DCM Forest Project
Since 2007, DCM has undertaken a tree planting project based in Hokkaido. This contributes to achieving SDGs 13 “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts” and SDGs 15 “Life on land”. Going forward, we shall further increase the scale and roll out tree planting activities all around Japan with the help of employees and their families. This is the DCM Forest Project. DCM has signed afforestation agreements with owners of forests through the national or prefectural government, and undertakes tree planting activities with the support of forestry associations and other such parties.

Reforestation project
This project donates a portion of the profits from designated products to environmental protection funds in Indonesia that plant seedlings of native tree species in forests that were devasted by forest fires and illegal logging.
The designated products include printer paper, and a portion of our kitchen towels and laundry detergents.
We are continuing these activities in FY2024 as well.
Mokuty Club
These activities involve donating a portion of the sales from specified products to the general incorporated association, Mokuty Club. With that capital, they are engaging in the reforestation and afforestation of tree-trimmed forests at a rate of a hectare a year.
These activities are structured to have a clear traceability, from the forest to the stores.
