Our sustainability journey
Global environmental initiatives
The Okamura Group aims to become carbon neutral by 2050.
As an interim milestone, we have set a target to reduce CO2 emissions 50%, of 2020 levels by 2030.
To achieve carbon neutrality, we will further strengthen our existing activities and develop initiatives from a new perspective to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society.
Okamura is thinking in terms of the circular economy. We aim to make more effective use of our limited resources and minimize waste throughout the product life cycle — from product planning and design to sales, maintenance, reuse, and recycling. As we consider the environment in our decision-making, we can contribute to the creation of a more sustainable society.

Office furniture parts such as casters and storage dividers can be replaced. Replacing and repairing broken parts will prolong the life of your product.
We buy back office furniture that is no longer needed — such as when offices relocate, or there are organizational changes — and we reuse the parts or sell the items second hand.
