Initiatives for Coexistence with the Local Community
Our Sustainability Initiatives in Chile
Forestal Antillay continues its afforestation business across its 300‑km‑long operating area in harmony with local communities, based on the Daio Paper Group’s sustainability vision, “Three Ways of Living” (Hygienic Living, Enriched Living, and Regenerative Living).
Within the company-owned forests, we protect 60 water sources that supply drinking water and irrigation water for local residents. We also provide skill training programs such as knitting, cooking, and fruit cultivation, maintain a broad-area fire prevention system and conduct fire prevention activities to conserve forest resources and ecosystems, and make continuous contributions such as donating firewood and materials to local clinics, schools, kindergartens, and community organizations, as well as supporting cultural activities. In 2024, a joint firefighting team—comprising our company and two partner organizations—conducted an on-site training exercise in October, strengthening the fire prevention system in preparation for 2025.
Furthermore, in November, we donated spinning wheels and fiber processing equipment to the women’s group in the Los Tayos district of Panguipulli City, Los Ríos Region, supporting women’s empowerment and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship.
