Oji Holdings Corporation (President: Hiroyuki Isono, Headquarters: Tokyo) is pleased to announce that it has been selected for the highest "A List" rating in the Forests (Timber) category by CDP*, an international non-profit organization engaged in environmental information disclosure, for the fourth consecutive year in 2025. This recognition reflects the company's leadership in transparency and performance in the Forests sector.

Being selected for the "A List" in the Forests category for four consecutive years signifies that Oji Holdings is recognized as a global leader for its comprehensive information disclosure, advanced environmental governance, and meaningful progress toward environmental resilience.

Going forward, Oji Holdings will continue to practice Nature-based Solutions through sustainable forest management and contribute to the realization of a sustainable global environment.
