Under the terms of this agreement, Marubeni will allow technical employees from Nippon Paper Industries to work at MHP from 2022, with the aim of improving forest growing stock per unit area through Nippon Paper Industries’ technical expertise in tree breeding and afforestation operations.
Nippon Paper Industries aims to expand its procurement of sustainable forest resources in Southeast Asia, by improving forest growing stock through its technical guidance.
Marubeni owns plantation forests in Indonesia and Australia, which currently cover approximately 130,000 hectares and is committed to “promoting sustainable forest management” through the continuous and stable supply of wood resources used as raw materials for papermaking.
