Carbon Neutral Business Webinar × Do! Solutions - August 24 (Participants Sought)
Dentsu Inc. Japan Network Sustainability Promotion Office and Dentsu Inc. Team SDGs will hold an online seminar on "Carbon Neutrality" on August 24. Participants are currently being recruited.
Interest in carbon neutrality has been growing significantly in recent years. In Japan, the " Green Growth Strategy for Carbon Neutrality by 2050 " and a 46% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030 have been announced as targets, accelerating corporate efforts toward carbon neutrality. Along with the business risks associated with climate change and resource depletion, there is also the opportunity to create new business by quickly addressing carbon neutrality. In addition, last month the EU announced its policy to introduce carbon border adjustment measures, which has attracted significant global attention.
This seminar will present what actions and initiatives companies should take toward achieving "carbon neutrality," a critical theme both domestically and internationally. It will also provide business insights by introducing case studies of various companies' efforts.
