Shellpa Hosts the 6th ESG Journal Cafe with CDP

Shellpa and Company, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is set to host its sixth edition of the ESG Journal Cafe on June 26, 2026, featuring Emi Matsukawa, Japan Market Director of CDP Worldwide-Japan. This special, members-only event will center around the theme of transitioning from mere disclosure to actionable steps that promote sustainability.

As calls for transparency in sustainability reporting grow, particularly among large corporations, there is a pressing need for alignment with standards such as those set by the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ). However, many companies are finding themselves overwhelmed with the extensive data collection and reporting requirements, often leading to resource shortages and difficulties in managing the information efficiently.

Event Insights

In this session, we will explore how to view disclosure not as an end goal but as the starting point for further actions. The philosophy of 'Write once, use many' will be a focal point, with discussions on leveraging evaluations for robust institutional disclosures. Participants will have the chance to engage in a workshop that focuses on visualizing their current ESG stances and how to proceed from isolated responses to sustainable reporting practices.

Shellpa has been recognized for its exceptional support services and will be officially named a CDP Silver Accredited Solution Provider in August 2025. This achievement highlights the company's commitment to assisting firms in effectively gathering and visualizing their environmental data.
