Overview of the Seminar on Decarbonization Management

On June 10, JPI (Japan Planning Institute) will host a seminar featuring Mr. Atsushi Hanai, a Senior Executive from Ricoh Japan's Management Planning Department. This seminar will delve into practical strategies for implementing decarbonization management that not only aims for CO₂ reduction but also prioritizes revenue growth.

Significance of the Seminar

The urgent need to address climate change has never been more pressing. As the UN Secretary-General pointed out, without significant efforts, the global temperature could rise by a staggering 5.7 degrees Celsius. Hence, understanding how corporations can simultaneously meet ambitious decarbonization targets while enhancing business growth is crucial.

Ricoh Japan has been a pioneer in this regard, achieving its RE100 commitment a decade earlier than planned and significantly increasing its revenue within its Green Transformation (GX) initiatives. This seminar will not only present Ricoh's journey but will also address the wider implications of decarbonization strategies across various sectors.
