Basic concept

Striving to maximize ecosystem networks through our business based on sustainable use of natural capital

As an “ecosystem service,” biodiversity helps to support life and is closely related to commercial activity in terms of raw material procurement.
As a housing manufacturer that has constructed a cumulative total of 2.46 million dwellings, the Sekisui House Group consumes 300,000 cubic meters of wood annually. At the same time, we plant about one million trees nationwide every year, which makes us one of the largest landscaping companies in Japan. Due to these characteristics of our business and our influence through our suppliers, we promote tree planting as part of our business to contribute to the conservation of local ecosystems. Moreover, we seek to procure sustainable lumber and preserve forests that will lead to conservation of global biodiversity.
