As the global climate shifts, corporations are increasingly scrutinized regarding their environmental initiatives. In 2025, extreme weather events such as record-breaking heatwaves and heavy rainfall prompted intense focus on corporate sustainability. The demand for comprehensive and accurate environmental data disclosure has surged, notably increasing the significance of responses to the CDP—a major benchmark for investors and partners evaluating sustainable practices. In Japan, the number of companies disclosing information has been on the rise, highlighting the growing importance of non-financial transparency for long-term competitive advantage.
In response to this evolving landscape, Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Taito-ku, Tokyo) will host two online seminars tailored for sustainability officers, corporate planning teams, and environmental strategy professionals in May 2026. Our sessions aim to elucidate the upcoming changes in CDP 2026 and offer insights into watershed-focused water management practices.
The first seminar will feature Ms. Miyuki Enobori from CDP Worldwide-Japan, who will explain the intent behind the 2026 questionnaire design and the scoring methodology. Following this, our experts from Yachiyo Engineering, drawing from extensive experience assisting companies with environmental disclosure, will discuss practical points regarding responses in three critical areas: climate change, water security, and forestry. We’ll also outline common challenges encountered and provide actionable solutions to navigate these issues effectively.
This seminar is perfect for companies looking to enhance the quality of their CDP responses and grasp the latest trends in just a short time. We encourage anyone who identifies with the following challenges to join:
- - Stakeholders demanding CDP responses
- - Individuals wanting to understand the fundamentals of CDP and its broader implications
- - Companies aiming to improve their CDP scores

*Water resources are essential for all life forms on Earth and businesses alike. The challenges facing global water resources—from climate change to over-extraction—are numerous. As Japan grapples with extreme weather phenomena and water scarcity, a reassessment of our water resource management is imperative. Stewardship involves taking responsibility for resources we do not directly own, emphasizing the importance of protecting the finite natural resources we all depend on. To achieve sustainable operations, collaboration with watershed stakeholders is vital in addressing diverse water management challenges.
In March 2026, the AWS International Water Stewardship Standard Version 3.0 was updated, incorporating the latest sustainability trends and integrating various requirements for practical applicability. This update includes new standards for resilience against climate change, conservation of biodiversity, and identification of impacts and dependencies concerning corporate water use, enhancing compliance with international frameworks including CSRD and CDP.
This seminar will cover the main changes from Version 2.0 and provide insights into the latest trends in corporate water management. We aim to equip participants with the knowledge to achieve AWS certifications or activate water resource management initiatives in alignment with AWS standards.
Seminar Topics Include:
- - Considering AWS certification
- - Promoting initiatives in collaboration with watershed stakeholders
- - Understanding the basics and overall scope of AWS
- - Keeping pace with the latest global standards in water resource management
Format: Online via Zoom
Cost: Free
Capacity: 500 participants
