Mr. Yoshikazu Kanesaka

PRESIDENT and CEO - Kanepackage Group of Companies

At Kanepackage Group, we strive to promote environmental sustainability
and climate actions through different programs aligned with our Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Through these programs, we can continue to promote our business philosophy of “Giving Surprise, Good Impression,and Comfort” to all our stakeholders, and also promote our “Dream Package Technology” that not only protect theproduct but also protect our Mother Earth for the benefits of all the people.
The KPGreen Earth Mangrove Project which started in 2009 in Cebu, Philippines, already marked its 14 years ofimplementation. We already planted over 13.3 million mangroves through the active support and participation of thelocal people and in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the local government
units.
Our employees from all branches are eagerly waiting for their turn to come to the Philippines to participate in themangrove planting activity which we usually conduct twice a year. However, during the pandemic outbreak, we werenot able to organize this activity in 2020 and 2021 due to travel restrictions. It was only in November 2022 that weresumed the mangrove planting with 35 participants and another in February 2023 with 39 participants.
The mangrove planting activity has increased the awareness and appreciation of our employees in taking care of ourcoastal environment, especially the mangroves. The activity also serves as an avenue among employees from otherbranches to be connected with each other, share their experiences working in the company, and even encouraged
one another to do better.
This fiscal year, we entered into a collaboration project with Overseas Environmental Cooperation Center Japan toresearch the possibility of carbon credit through our mangrove project. This project will develop a method inquantifying the amount of carbon sequestered by our mangrove project.
As corporate citizens, we believe that environmental conservation is not only the sole responsibility of the government
but a shared responsibility with private sectors, especially with businesses and industries. We will continue tostrengthen our efforts and commitment to this CSR and SDG programs.
Considering the significant impacts of this project on the community and to our Mother Earth, we commit to strengthen
our efforts in bringing this project to another milestone. We look forward to more successes and partnerships withthese projects.

COMMUNITY MANGROVE PLANTINGACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF THE
COMMUNITY IN MANGROVE PLANTING
AND CO-MANAGEMENT

The active participation of our partner Peoples Organization (PO) played an important role in achieving ourgoals. During the fruiting season, they collect and plant propagules in the identified area and maintain a seedling nursery of various kinds of mangroves.
The locals were also actively involved in the post-planting management and monitoring to ensure the highsurvival of the plantation. They regularly visit the plantation to remove the plastics attached to seedlings andto replace the dead plants.
In return, they were compensated for the number of seedlings they planted and for monitoring. This serves
as an additional income for them. At times during unfavorable weather condition for fishing, the compensation
they received greatly helped them in their basic needs.
They are very grateful to Kanepackage for making them as beneficiary of the CSR project.

SDG CLIMATEACTIONCARBONCREDITPROJECT

Climate change is a global problem that threatens and affects our day-to-day living. Its mitigation andadaptation measures are everybody’s business not just for the government alone.
Kanepackage Group has integrated the Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development
Programs into its operation. The program includes three main themes: 1) Environment, 2) Support for
People, and 3) Safe, Security, and Welfare of all the stakeholders.
For the environment, the company had a strong commitment to mangrove rehabilitation and co-management since 2009 where it already planted over 13 million mangroves in the central Philippines.
