About Our Business

1

Resource and Environmental Business

Under the philosophy of "sustainable forestry"—planting trees, cultivating forests, utilizing them as resources, and replanting what is used—we contribute to global decarbonization through various initiatives. These include the management of company-owned forests in Japan, afforestation projects overseas, forest asset management, and power generation in the field of renewable energy. Furthermore, by leveraging innovative forest management technologies, we actively address global environmental challenges.

Housing Business

With our design capabilities and proprietary technology—the Big Frame (BF) construction method, a wooden beam-dominant rigid frame structure developed in-house—we provide comfortable homes that embody both the natural warmth and unique functionality of wood, offering residences that people want to live in for many years.

In addition, we promote the widespread adoption of environmentally conscious homes, contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions during occupancy. At the same time, by advancing wooden construction, we help lower CO₂ emissions during the building process. Through the standardization of decarbonized design, we strive to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Lifestyle Services Business

Leveraging the construction technologies and residential expertise cultivated through our housing and building businesses, we provide a wide range of services that support people's daily lives, with a particular focus on the nursing care sector.

We are also engaged in regional revitalization efforts, such as participating in the development of commercial resort facilities launched through industry-government-academia collaboration. Through these initiatives, we strive to address social issues and deliver safe, fulfilling lifestyles for people at every stage of life.
