Planting the seeds of a successful zero-carbon economy | Earth Day 2023

How to combine sustainable initiatives and business success? Challenges and solutions from France and Japan.

A French Tech Tokyo event

With the support of the French Embassy, and the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan.

Carbon emission monitoring platforms have been burgeoning overseas and in Japan. Which ones make sense and what transparency do they bring? How can businesses and local governments gain visibility on their carbon footprint, in order to choose the right initiatives to focus on? Then how do they get organization-wide backing to lead the change? And last, is Consumer Awareness high enough to influence purchasing behavior towards sustainable products?

Join us on April 21st for industry insights and inspiration.
