Tombow Pencil has been making stationery for over 100 years, but in recent years harmonizing with the global environment and reducing environmental impact have become increasingly important issues to continue our business.
In response to this issue in 1992 Tombow became the first pencil to receive Eco Mark certification and has been selling products that comply with the Green Purchasing Law since the start of the Green Purchasing Law in 2001. In 2008, we obtained PEFC-CoC certification, an international forest certification and began working on the development, production and sale of environmentally friendly products.
In 2023, we began operating “Green Tombow” as Tombow’s environmental label, adding products that meet our own standards to Eco Mark-certified products, products that comply with the Green Purchasing Law, and forest-certified products.

Considering there is no energy consumption during the “use” stage of stationery product’s life cycle, Green Tombow places particular emphasis on reducing environmental impact at the “raw material procurement” and “disposal” stages.
Although the environmental contribution of each product itself is not large, we continue our efforts in the belief that stationery products, which are always by our side, can serve as an opportunity to further raise environmental awareness.
We at Tombow Pencil will continue to deliver products that are kind to people and nature
