Special Seminar on Business Reform toward Post-SDGs

In a notable initiative, Infomart Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, is set to host a special online seminar on May 22, 2026, coinciding with International Day for Biological Diversity. The seminar, titled "Exploring Japan's Current Position and Future through Last Year's VNR (Voluntary National Review) Announcement," will feature Naoko Fushimi from Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a keynote speaker. This seminar aims to dive into the current challenges and solutions concerning Japan's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Background of the Seminar

Japan has shown a strong willingness to embrace the ideals of SDGs, but a recent UN report highlights a disheartening statistic: only 18% of global progress towards these goals can be classified as either on track or achieved. With only four years remaining until the 2030 deadline, businesses are under increasing pressure. The expectations are not merely to declare their commitment to these principles but to implement concrete actions resulting in measurable progress and successfully meeting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.

On the International Day for Biological Diversity, this seminar seeks to prepare businesses for the future, focusing on solutions that align with the government’s recent policies regarding SDGs and promote operational reform for improved sustainability practices.

Highlights of the Seminar

Naoko Fushimi will deliver a keynote address focusing on contemporary efforts toward achieving SDGs in Japan and the trends in the international community looking beyond 2030. As the Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Bureau, her insights will be invaluable in informing attendees about the current landscape and future outlook.

Additionally, Kosuke Matsui from Infomart's Business Planning Department will discuss the company’s pioneering environmental solutions based on its 'BtoB Platform.' Highlighting the platform’s impressive achievements, including surpassing six hundred million paperless transactions and reducing over 5,000 tons of CO2 emissions, Matsui will articulate how digital transformation in back-office tasks can significantly contribute to decarbonization and the overall promotion of SDGs.
