Sustainability Event 2025 presented by TÜV SÜD Japan
Sustainability Event 2025 presented by TÜV SÜD Japan
Sustainability has become an unavoidable theme in corporate management, with increasing importance placed on the calculation, disclosure, and utilization of carbon footprints. As regulations and requirements vary by country and region, it is an urgent challenge for globally operating companies to accurately understand and respond to the latest developments in each country.
This event will feature a full day of expert-led sessions offering a multifaceted explanation—from regulatory trends in Europe, the U.S., China, and Japan, to practical approaches and case studies related to product and corporate carbon footprints. The event will also cover the significance and role of third-party verification bodies in carbon footprint assessments. Leading companies at the forefront of the circular economy and carbon footprint verification in Japan will also take the stage, offering valuable insights to support your future business development.
In the operation of the event, we are also focusing on sustainability, and we are planning the following:
