LACARPE Fest 2025: A Step Towards a Carbon-Neutral Future

The highly anticipated LACARPE Fest 2025, which will take place in May 2025, aims to promote sustainable beauty practices throughout Japan. Organized by LACARPE Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, this event promises to be an expansive marketplace for natural and organic wellness brands. With support from Shizen Energy, the festival will proudly declare its commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by offsetting carbon emissions during the event.

Event Overview

The LACARPE Fest is recognized as one of Japan's largest sustainable beauty fairs, and in its eighth edition, it emphasizes the theme of creating a sustainable future. This year's event is set to take place over three days starting May 24, 2025, at the prestigious WITH HARAJUKU HALL in Omotesando and Harajuku. The festival is designed to be both engaging and educational, providing a platform for attendees to learn about sustainable products, services, and practices first-hand.

Carbon Offset Initiatives

The festival's collaboration with Shizen Energy will help it utilize decarbonization support services and environmental certificates to achieve a real carbon offset. During the festival, all exhibitors will participate in measures to offset approximately 75% of the carbon dioxide emissions generated from the event. This is made possible through the usage of J Blue Credits, which contribute to marine environment improvement activities and enhance the corporate sustainability value of participating organizations.

Key Emission Sources for Offsetting:

• - Transportation for attendees and organizers (including trains, buses, cars, and flights)
• - Energy consumed within the venue (electricity and portable power)
• - Water usage at the venue
• - Waste disposal from the event

The projected offset amount is estimated to be around 11 tons of CO2, based on figures from past events. Actual data will be collected and analyzed after the event concludes to confirm the real impact.

Future Initiatives

In addition to the festival, LACARPE Inc. is excited to announce upcoming sustainable green tours, organized in collaboration with Shizen Energy to deepen awareness around community-focused sustainability initiatives. On May 14, 2025, a Blue Carbon Offset Tour is scheduled to take place in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Participants can expect an educational experience centered on the intrinsic value of forests and their role in combating climate change.

Event Schedule for Blue Carbon Tour:

• - 10:00 AM: Introduction to biodiversity, J Blue Credits, and Hayama's seagrass conservation initiatives
• - 11:30 AM: Boat tour showcasing Hayama's underwater environments
• - 12:30 PM: Transition to the lunch venue
• - 1:00 PM: Lunch and discussion on community contributions to carbon offsetting
• - 3:00 PM: Conclusion of the event

This tour will focus on the vital role of seagrasses in the fight against global warming and aims to equip participants with knowledge about how they can contribute to sustainable practices.

What is Carbon Offsetting?

Carbon offsetting refers to the practice of compensating for unavoidable carbon emissions produced during daily life and economic activities. Individuals and organizations can reduce their overall emissions by investing in projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gases elsewhere, thus striving for net-zero emissions.
