| The EBC HR Committee meets monthly (next meeting on 23 May at 9:30 at the EBC office). It is made up of HR representatives from various EBC companies. If you are a member of one of the European National Chambers in Japan that are part of the EBC and are interested in learning more about HR challenges and regulations, this committee is for you! To join and enrich the discussions, please express your interest by sending us an email. Your participation is vital, especially in light of the current labour shortage in Japan and the Japanese government’s proactive efforts to increase salaries. These pressing issues provide ample material for meaningful discussions within the Committee.
On 28 May (14:00-17:00 at the EBC), the EBC Sustainability Committee will offer you a unique opportunity to learn about climate change and spark action with the Climate Fresk. This interactive experience uses science-based cards and collective intelligence to foster understanding, ignite innovative solutions, and empower teams to become changemakers. Shalyn Wilkins and Chris Lucas, who are cycling across Asia and leading Climate Fresk workshops along the way, will be your facilitators for this exclusive session. Space is limited to 14 participants, so register quickly! Send your name, company and position to [email protected].
Finally, I encourage you to attend:
– A webinar jointly organised by the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) and Bruegel, a European think tank on “CBAM and carbon pricing: creating a fair path to climate stabilization” (22 May, 19:30-21:00). The event will look at the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, its economic effects on trading partners, and how the EU can better cooperate with other parties on carbon pricing.
-The 20th edition of the BLCCJ flagship “Delighting Customers in Japan” business seminar on 3 June at the CCIFJ event space.
The EBC team is looking forward to hearing from you soon!
