Establishment of the Green x Digital Consortium (MOI)
Amidst global growth in ESG investment, companies are expected to take an even more ambitious approach to disclosing
information on their climate change measures and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in their business activities. Moreand more companies are placing these efforts at the top of their management agendas, and industry too is working to realize
carbon neutrality across the supply chain.
At the same time, national and regional governments around the world are seizing on carbon neutrality as a growth
opportunity, introducing bold policies and measures like the European Green Deal to achieve effective decarbonization. InOctober 2020, the Japanese government announced that it would aim to realize carbon neutrality by 2050. Identifying thegeneration of a virtuous cycle of economic growth and environmental protection as a pillar in its growth strategy, thegovernment has pledged to do its utmost to realize a green society.
As noted in the government’s Green Growth Strategy, the utilization of digital technologies will be vital in achieving Japan’s
2050 carbon neutrality goal, with the “green” and “digital” elements working together to drive the initiative forward. Optimal useof digital technologies will not only enable more efficient energy use through IoT and AI but will also link the efforts ofindividual companies and industries, opening the way for overall industrial and social optimization.
The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) has established the Green x Digital
Consortium as a space for pursuing activities that promote corporate carbon neutrality and create and deploy new digitalsolutions leading to industrial and social transformation. Through the consortium, we will work to digitize environment-related
fields and create new business models so as to enable the relevant Japanese industries to lead global green markets.
