The Future of Carbon Credit Utilization
Pioneering a Sustainable Cycle of “Environmental Value” and “Economic Benefits”

In FY2025, there were significant developments both in Japan and globally that greatly impacted the promotion of the "Green Transformation" (GX), which is a concept promoted by the Japanese government to drive decarbonization and economic growth in tandem. These included notable movements in corporate rules for GHG accounting, reporting, and disclosure, as well as in decarbonization-related regulations and carbon markets.

This session will highlight key trends and provide essential perspectives and practical approaches to link a company's decarbonization efforts to an essential increase in corporate value.

Key Topics:

  1. Key GX-related developments for companies in FY2025
  2. Legal and regulatory compliance, and carbon pricing
  3. The future of Scope 2 emissions reduction
  4. Practical solutions for Scope 3 emissions reduction
  5. Trends and utilization strategies in the carbon credit market
  6. Strategic priorities for companies in FY2026
