Utilizing our expertise in supporting decarbonization management for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Japan, we are working to support SME decarbonization management in other countries, especially in Southeast Asian countries. In this context, we aim to effectively reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the region through technology transfer of Japan's excellent energy-saving and other technologies, starting with those in the Chubu region, and to reduce GHG in the entire supply chain involved by introducing life cycle assessment (LCA) and other methods.

We will provide useful information on Japan's policies, social systems, and the activities of domestic companies toward the realization of a resource-recycling society, in line with the needs of other countries. In order to contribute to the establishment of a resource-recycling mechanism in other countries, we will also promote human resource development for administrative officials and corporate engineers in the region. In addition, we will work to transfer recycling and other technologies that contribute to more effective and less environmentally burdensome resource recycling in other countries and support overseas business by plastic resource-recycling-related companies, based on our understanding of trends in Japan's recycling-related industries, including those in the Chubu region.

With regard to the transfer of regional environmental conservation technologies, such as industrial pollution control technologies, we will provide support for solutions in cooperation with related organizations as necessary, based on our understanding of the specific needs of the target countries and regions, taking into consideration our expertise and the significance of our activities as ICETT, as new issues are emerging and problems are diversifying.

We will create opportunities for exchanges that contribute to the development of the next generation of human resources, taking advantage of our wealth of overseas business experience and networks with international organizations, etc., and from the perspective of contributing to the local community. The program also provides opportunities for exchange on new policies, cutting-edge technologies, business, etc., between domestic and foreign researchers, corporate executives and engineers, and staff of related organizations who are active in various fields related to environmental conservation, such as the promotion of environmental policies, research and development of environment-related technologies, and promotion of resource recycling-related industries in Japan and abroad.
