Dear Friends of the EBC,<\/p>\n

On 24 April<\/strong>, the OECD Centre for Responsible Business<\/strong>, Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs, visited the EBC thanks to St\u00e9fan Le D\u00fb, Chair of our Sustainability Committee. Froukje Boele, Head of Public Policy, and Kate Wilson, Project Manager – Asia<\/strong>, gave an overview of what the OECD is doing in the area of responsible business, with a particular focus on its five members in the region: Japan, Korea, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
\nThe OECD has issued several guidelines for responsible business conduct<\/strong>, covering areas such as human rights, labour, the environment<\/strong>, etc., and an increasing number of its members are implementing either legislation or voluntary guidelines. Risk-based due diligence<\/strong> is and will become even more important in the future. The OECD supports this with a series of sector-specific guides and tools for practitioners<\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Prior to Golden Week, the EBC had the pleasure of attending 3 embassy receptions, which are often opportunities to meet companies from these countries and hear about their successes, but also the problems they face in the Japanese market.
\nOn 24 April<\/strong>, the EBC attended a reception at the French Embassy<\/strong> on the occasion of the visit to Japan of Franck Riester, Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade, Economic Attractiveness, the Francophonie and French Nationals Abroad<\/strong>, with Jacques Maire, who is responsible for the organisation of France’s participation in Expo 2025 Osaka.
\nOn 25 April, we attended the King’s Day Reception at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Japan<\/strong>. Expo Osaka 2025 will coincide with the 425th<\/sup> anniversary of relations between the Netherlands and Japan. The theme of the Dutch pavilion is “Common Ground: creating a new dawn together”.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

On 25 April, the EBC was invited to the Delegation of the European Union to Japan to celebrate the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of the EU’s fifth enlargement. <\/strong>On 1st<\/sup> May 2004, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia<\/strong> joined the European Union, taking the number of member states from 15 to 25. The ambassadors of these 10 countries were on hand with their teams to interact with the guests, an excellent opportunity to gain a better understanding of each of these economies and their relationship with Japan.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n
Finally, I encourage you to read the report presented to the heads of state and government meeting in Brussels on 18 April, Much More Than a Market – Speed, Security, Solidarity- Empowering the Single Market to deliver a sustainable future and prosperity for all EU Citizen<\/strong><\/a> by Enrico Letta, <\/strong>former Italian Prime Minister, on the future of the single market<\/strong>. Before the summer, another report by former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi <\/strong>will focus on EU competitiveness.<\/p>\n

The EBC team is looking forward to hearing from you soon!<\/p>\n
