JSR is pleased to announce that we have become a member of the Consortium for Sustainable Paper Use and have launched activities with the cooperation of this organization. The Consortium for Sustainable Paper Use is a new organization dedicated to ensuring that the entire society works towards using paper with consideration for the environment and society.

This organization was established jointly by five companies promoting advanced efforts regarding paper use, WWF Japan (an international environmental conservation NGO), and Response Ability Inc. (a company promoting corporate sustainability). Each member of the consortium aims to promote paper use with consideration for the environment and society from its own perspective, hereby striving to ensure that sustainable use of paper is widely disseminated and accepted throughout society.
