The agreement is valid until March 31, 2027.
The agreement system was established in response to the Building Wood Utilization Promotion Law that came into effect in October last year. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will give priority to supporting the signatories of the agreement through subsidy projects.
Takenaka Corporation has expanded the areas and degrees of freedom in which timber can be used through wood innovation, and promoted the use of domestic timber in medium- and high-rise wooden buildings. To realize a carbon-free society, we will build and disseminate a "forest grand cycle" in which forest resources and the local economy circulate sustainably.
Based on the "Act on Promotion of Distribution and Utilization of Legally Logging Wood, etc." (Clean Wood Act), we will promote the use of timber whose legality has been confirmed and contribute to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
On the morning of the 10th, at the Forestry Agency in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo, Director Takashi Amaha and President Sasaki of Takenaka Corporation exchanged an agreement.
