Invitation to the Media Exchange Event
The Platinum Network Corporation, located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, invites you to participate in an important media exchange event. This initiative aims to make the most of forest resources in a sustainable and circular manner, contributing to the decarbonization, economic safety, regional revitalization, and promotion of forest culture.
In May 2023, we introduced the "Vision 2050: A Bright Future for Japan's Forest Circular Economy." Following this, we have been working diligently through three key subcommittees: "Biomass Chemistry," "Wooden Cities," and "Forest and Forestry Innovation." As a result, we unveiled the "Vision 2050: Strategic Approach for Promoting Japan's Forest Circular Economy" in July 2024.
The activities of these committees have continued to progress, leading to the recent compilation of the report titled "Business Model Plan for the Full Utilization of Forest Resources in the ‘Vision 2050: A Bright Future for Japan's Forest Circular Economy’" along with our proposals and strategies for promotion. To publicly share these insights, we will hold a media exchange event scheduled as follows:
