Our company will hold a seminar titled "Key Points of the 'Biodiversity Enhancement Activity Promotion Act' and Business Opportunities." In December 2022, the new global goal "Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework" was adopted. Our country has also revised its national biodiversity strategy, setting the goal of achieving "Nature Positive" by 2030 and conserving over 30% of land and sea under the "30by30" target. Achieving this requires not only the expansion of protected areas such as national parks but also the promotion of Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECM) in nearby natural environments such as satoyama (village forests), corporate green spaces, and urban green areas. Against this backdrop, a new law was enacted in April of this year to promote activities by companies and others to enhance biodiversity in local areas, including the establishment of a certification system for plans related to these activities. This presentation will detail the background leading to the establishment of the new law and an overview of the law itself.

Our company will hold a seminar on "Rock Weathering Acceleration Technology for the Negative Emission Market." There are only a quarter of a century left until the target year of 2050 for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. It is extremely difficult to offset CO2 emissions from hard-to-decarbonize sectors solely through the large-scale introduction of renewable energy; negative emission technologies (NETs) are essential for this purpose. One of the technologies for directly removing CO2 that has been released into the atmosphere is weathering acceleration (ERW), which is expected to be implemented in Japan due to its relatively low water and land use compared to other technologies, as well as the widespread distribution of natural rocks containing Ca/Mg within the country. This seminar will elaborate on the technological trends both domestically and internationally, focusing on the A-ERW project currently being implemented as part of the Moonshot Goal 4, as well as the methodologies for measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) that are essential for clear carbon accounting and crediting.

Our company will hold a seminar titled "Triple Revision from the Perspective of Medical DX and Work Style Reform for Fiscal Year 2024." The population receiving end-of-life care, which is predicted to peak in 2040, is expected to remain high for several decades thereafter. As a result, an increase in medical and nursing care needs (elderly medical care pandemic) is anticipated, leading to a greater burden on healthcare and nursing care workers. However, there is also a current situation where the acceleration of a serious labor shortage cannot be stopped. With the new health care plan and nursing care insurance business plan starting in fiscal year 2024, there is an accelerating movement to explore the appropriate provision of public insurance services alongside measures to realize a community-based society. Furthermore, improving productivity in the medical and nursing care business requires information sharing through digitalization and inter-professional collaboration. Let us unravel the elements of medical DX incorporated throughout the triple revision for fiscal year 2024 and consider the future of the medical and nursing care business together. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: October 3 (Thursday) 13:30 - 15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Speaker: Director of the Healthcare Business Management Human Resource Development Institute, Mr. Tomi Ishii *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
