Protecting forests by using FSC™-certified

The 2 Types of FSC™ Certification
Wood products are an essential part of our lives. However, some wood products come from illegally felled trees or from poorly managed and overharvested forest plantations. In addition to exacerbating global warming, the use of such wood products can lead to the destruction of endangered species’ habitats and the exploitation of indigenous communities, while also being associated with poaching. The system of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™) certification was devised specifically to address these issues. It provides consumers with wood products clearly identifiable as coming from well-managed forests and from recycled materials, at the same time as it delivers economic benefits to responsible producers.

Thriving forests for future generations
CITIZEN is committed to responding to climate change and contributing to a recycling-oriented society. CITIZEN actively works to reduce energy consumption and has started using electricity generated from renewable sources to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change. As part of these efforts, CITIZEN is actively embracing the use of FSC™-certified paper. Consciously choosing FSC™-certified paper helps support responsible producers and the regions where they operate, while also helping to conserve the forests which absorb so much carbon dioxide. No one knowingly wants to contribute to environmental destruction. CITIZEN is doing what we can, one step at a time, to safeguard biodiversity and human rights and to pass thriving forests and a beautiful planet on to the next generation.

Special boxes
In October 2022, we began switching to FSC™-certified paper for our watch boxes for some areas. Over time, we will be adopting eco-friendly watch boxes on a global basis.

We are actively using FSC™-certified paper for our guarantee certificates and promotional pamphlets at the point of sale.
Sponsoring FSC™ Japan events
We believe in FSC™ Japan’s goals of promoting the FSC™ to achieve better management of the world’s forests for future generation. That is why we sponsored their education programmes for students who represent our future. (Note that these events were held in Japan.)
