| Dear Friends of the EBC,
Last week, we organised a conference on the Economic Security Promotion Act. This law was passed by the Japanese Diet on 11 May of this year. While not including detailed regulations, it consists of four pillars: supply chain, critical infrastructure, reinforcement of technological base and secret patents. My colleague Bjorn Kongstad, Chief Policy Director, wrote a report for those who were not able to attend.
The EBC Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee will hold its meeting on 6 July from 9:00am at the EBC. Ms. Hanna Hakko of E3G will give an overview of Japan’s climate policies, especially in the context of the growing international pressure. There will also be ample time for members to give an update on what they are doing in regard to decarbonisation.
If you and your company are interested in joining, do send an email to Bjorn Kongstad ([email protected]). We look forward to seeing you on 6 July from 09:00 at the EBC in Toranomon!
