Promoting Decarbonization with 'giftee for Business'
In a groundbreaking move towards environmental sustainability, Giftee Inc. has announced its innovative offer of the service 'giftee for Business' to Kanagawa Prefecture’s Yokohama City as part of the 2025 'Yokohama Green Energy Partnership Project'. This initiative aims to leverage a decarbonization strategy by utilizing the J-Credit system, which promotes CO2 reduction through various eco-friendly practices. This adoption marks the first time that the 'giftee for Business' service is used in municipal projects utilizing this framework.
The 'giftee for Business' platform offers digital gift boxes that are packed with various cashless point options, allowing users to exchange them for products of their choice through 'Yokohama Green Pay'. This is particularly aimed at households and businesses that implement relevant equipment as part of the green energy drive. Through this project, Giftee aims to support citizens and local businesses in actively engaging in the decarbonization efforts encouraged by the governmental programs.
The J-Credit system represents a government-recognized framework for certifying the amounts of CO2 emissions reduced through energy-efficient equipment and the absorption of CO2 by appropriately managed forests. The J-Credit system has merged domestic credit systems and offset credits (J-VER) into a cohesive initiative, facilitating various applications for corporations and municipalities aiming to achieve carbon neutrality goals.
Yokohama City’s partnership program is designed to link citizens and businesses with actionable environmental practices that contribute towards a decarbonized society. Participants in this program will receive cashless points in return for signing up and implementing the energy-conserving technologies required. Moreover, participants must also submit monitoring data that reflects their CO2 reductions. The city will compile these environmental values and utilize the credits for offsetting during large-scale local events.
The 'Yokohama Green Pay,' which is a significant aspect of this program, provides users with a digital gift box that allows them to exchange for a variety of cashless points, depending on the equipment installed. The points available for redemption include widely used options such as d point, Amazon gift cards, and FamiPay gift cards—making this system practical and user-friendly. Importantly, no app downloads or membership registrations are required for the use of 'Yokohama Green Pay' or the allocated gift points, thus ensuring ease of access for every participant.
For those interested in participating in the Yokohama Green Energy Partnership, applications can be made through a dedicated web form. After the selection process, participants will need to install the relevant technologies. Once approved, they will receive notification via SMS and will promptly be issued their 'Yokohama Green Pay' benefits corresponding to their installed technology.
In line with its commitment to environmental sustainability, Giftee continues to focus on developing digital gift solutions tailored for municipalities. This involves strategizing ways to enhance the success of campaigns and marketing efforts across various sectors by augmenting their products, tools, and options. Through these initiatives, Giftee aims to respond flexibly to the diverse gift needs of both public and private entities, embodying an approach that prioritizes sustainable growth and innovation.
In summary, the collaboration of Giftee with local authorities not only fosters a commitment to environmental actions but also encourages citizen engagement through tangible rewards, demonstrating how digital innovation can intertwine with ecological responsibility. This initiative showcases the potential for digital tools to transform community efforts into robust environmental practices, ultimately contributing to a greener planet.
