CDP Supply Chain Japan Summit 2024

Note, this event has now ended

Date and time: Friday, October 4th, 14:00-18:00
Location/venue: Muromachi Mitsui Hall & Conference

We are pleased to announce that the CDP Supply Chain Japan Summit will be held again this year.

The theme is Beyond Scope 3 - Nature in the Supply Chain. Material environmental issues for companies extend beyond climate change to encompass nature in general, including water security and forests. Furthermore, these issues are interrelated, and it is necessary to develop comprehensive responses across the entire value chain.

This summit will discuss the importance of companies considering future supplier engagement from the perspective of risks and opportunities related not only to Scope 3 but also to Nature as a whole.

In addition, amid these trends, we will reaffirm the role that sustainable finance should play and the direction of information disclosure in corporate management, and deliver presentations that will lead to further promotion of supplier engagement.
