These days business action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and corporate’s social responsibility is crucial for every company. Circular economy is attracting attention as an important theme in corporate activities.
While various companies (mainly in western region) have already adopted the circular economy as a business and rule making in the global market is progressing, there is a concern that Japanese industries will be left behind in the market. However not many Japanese companies recognize it as a source of corporate competitiveness.
In this webinar, we welcome experts who have abundant knowledge about domestic and overseas trends in circular economy, and leading companies in circular economy business. By introducing the world's most advanced use cases, the event discusses the key success points of circular economy in business and how to scale the initiative from Japan in the international markets. We would welcome executives and persons in charge in companies who are currently considering to accelerate circular economy as a business in their organization.
