Upcoming Online Seminars on Corporate Sustainability

In April 2026, Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. will host two informative online seminars aimed at professionals in charge of corporate sustainability, management planning, and environmental strategy. These sessions will delve into flood risk management and the effective use of J Blue Credits® to enhance corporate value.

During these challenging times, companies are compelled to reassess their strategies against escalating flood risks that threaten their operations. A common challenge faced by many organizations is determining the appropriate level of investment needed to fortify defenses and establish recovery systems, such as business continuity plans (BCPs) and insurance. The dilemma of making a balanced investment decision—determining how much cost to allocate while ensuring effectiveness—remains prevalent.

While many companies have begun disclosing expected damage amounts through frameworks like the TCFD, this is still a nascent stage in understanding the associated risks. Stakeholders are increasingly interested in visualizing the tangible benefits of these measures and how they can enhance future corporate resilience. Currently, the value of such improvements is not sufficiently quantified.

The standards for flood risk management are on the verge of a significant transformation. As such, it's imperative for companies to evolve their approach—from treating flood management simply as a cost to redefining it as an investment that enhances corporate value. Our seminar will provide insights, including recent case studies, illustrating strategic efforts that can elevate companies to gain recognition from stakeholders.

This seminar is ideal for professionals facing challenges such as:

• - Having calculated damage estimates through TCFD yet struggling to leverage this information for management decisions.
• - Lacking an objective benchmark for determining how much to invest in flood risk management.
• - Feeling constrained by internal measures, yet unsure of how basin-wide investments will benefit their organization.

Second Seminar Overview

As many companies accelerate efforts towards carbon neutrality and nature-positive initiatives, there are emerging challenges in the marine domain—how to apply terrestrial knowledge to the seas and collaborate with regional stakeholders like local governments and fishing cooperatives.

In our following seminar, we will explore the J Blue Credits® system, aimed at promoting sustainability in marine environments, and present specific co-creation examples by pioneering municipalities and companies. This session will go beyond merely offsetting carbon credits and will highlight how businesses can leverage their technologies and assets for marine conservation while building robust relationships with local communities.

This seminar will provide insights for professionals facing challenges such as:

• - Actively working on carbon neutrality and nature-positive initiatives on land but unsure how to progress in marine activities.
• - Striving to adopt advanced ESG practices that set them apart from competitors.
• - Seeking strategies to enhance collaboration with local stakeholders (e.g., municipalities).
