Ministry of the Environment Title: Japan's Green Purchasing Policy: Tackling Illegal Logging Summary: The issue of illegal logging was discussed at the 2005 G8 Summit held in Gleneagles, U.K. and a statement was issued saying, "We will encourage, adopt or extend public timber procurement policies that favour legal timber." On the above occasion, the Japanese Government expressed its intention to "introduce a government procurement policy favouring wood and wood product that have been harvested in a legal and sustainable manner, in accordance with the Green Purchasing Law." The Ministry of Environment of Japan subsequently discussed making the necessary adjustments with the Japanese Forestry Agency to include "illegal wood" in the items designated for preferential purchase by the Japanese Government under the Green Purchasing Law and drew up a draft "Basic Policy for the Promotion of Procurement of Eco-Friendly Goods and Services," which was decided at a Cabinet meeting in February 2006. Measures to promote the procurement of wood and wood products with verified legality and sustainability, based on the about Basic Policy, have been implemented since April 2006. This booklet has been prepared by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment for the purpose of introducing the activities of the Japanese Government to address the issue of illegal logging to governments and other organizations of related countries.
