Understanding the Legal Aspects of Carbon Credits in Business Strategies

As the global business landscape shifts towards sustainability, companies are increasingly focusing on carbon credits and emissions trading systems (ETS). Understanding the legal subtleties of these credits is essential for corporate representatives. With the GX-ETS set to officially begin next year, the use of carbon credits has never been more critical in shaping companies' decarbonization strategies.

To shed light on this increasingly important topic, exroad, a provider of a comprehensive carbon credit and emissions trading database based in Tokyo, is hosting a free webinar titled "Understanding the Legal Aspects of Carbon Credits in Business Strategies" on September 3rd from 11:00 AM to 11:45 AM JST. The webinar will feature lawyer Yuki Mori from the Mori Hamada & Matsumoto law firm as the guest speaker.

Mr. Mori has significant expertise in the field, having previously served in the Sustainable Finance Promotion Office at the Financial Services Agency (FSA) until June 2025. His involvement in creating the report titled "Study Group Report on the Appropriate Financial Infrastructure for Carbon Credit Transactions" demonstrates his depth of knowledge in this area.

During the session, Mr. Mori will outline the key findings of the aforementioned report and elucidate major legal issues that corporate practitioners must address when engaging with carbon credits. This is especially relevant as progress continues both domestically and internationally regarding the legal status and transparency of carbon credit transactions.

The webinar will particularly benefit procurement, sustainability, and management planning departments involved in carbon credit initiatives. Furthermore, it aims to assist business units considering how to effectively create and utilize carbon credits as part of their operations. Understanding these legal points is now an urgent priority for many companies.
