SEMINAR TIMETABLETurning Avoided Emissions into Corporate Value　-Paving the Way for Practical Action-

The concept of "avoided emissions" is emerging as a strategic tool that strengthens collaboration between corporations and financial institutions in scaling climate solutions. This seminar will explore how avoided emissions can be used to enhance corporate value, attract financing, and guide investment decisions. The event will showcase the collaboration between METI of Japan and the WBCSD, which has promoted the global adoption of avoided emissions in business and finance. METI has encouraged Japanese companies to disclose avoided emissions through the GX League, while WBCSD has released "Avoided Emissions Guidance v2.0". In addition to introducing these frameworks, this seminar will address key challenges in financing and scaling low-carbon solutions. Expert speakers will share insights on how avoided emissions can be effectively implemented and what types of disclosures financial institutions are seeking as they integrate climate criteria into investment and lending decisions. This seminar offers a timely opportunity to understand how avoided emissions can bridge sustainability goals and financial strategy - empowering companies and investors to drive real climate impact.
