Create a better, sustainablefuture through the challenge of net zero
Climate change is an existential threat to our economy, our society, and consequently our very livelihoods.
We seek to mobilize all our efforts to achieve net zero by 2050,
and ensure a better, sustainable future, leaving no one behind.
For this, we will spare no effort.
Our challenge

We provide funding to attract private-sector investment into businesses that challenge net zero by leveraging the strengths of various technologies, business models, and communities.
To provide and
disseminate investment
knowhow, information,
and human expertise across society.
We create new value via our investment, such as industrial development, technical innovation, and local revitalization, and disseminate our knowledge and experience widely across society. And, by promoting the development of human resources with sound financial judgement on profitability and risk, we expand the network of those leading the efforts to achieve net zero.
To create new initiatives by connecting ideas and expertise.
We actively interact with private and public stakeholders from our investees and shareholders to relevant government departments and local authorities and connect their technologies, ideas, and networks to create new initiatives that can transform society.
SPIRITS/ (Our mindset)
Partnering with our stakeholders to realize net zero by 2050,JICN management and employees work with the following mindset.
Keeping our eyes out
Scientific knowledge, technologies, market trends, and government policies change day by day both in Japan and overseas. As experts in decarbonization investment, let’s be wary of common knowledge and experience, and always keep our eyes out for the latest information.
Always listening
Visit the site, look at the actual item, listen to those in charge, and exchange views with each other to think about issues. And let’s make decisions based on the latest scientific evidence, not prejudices or personal experience.
Putting our heads together
Never give up, even when faced with businesses in completely new fields with no clues on how to proceed. Let’s put our heads together with the business operators, assess the risks and challenges, and think “how can we make this possible?”
Not taking sides
Always stay impartial, don’t be easily influenced, and avoid taking sides with specific industry or business operator, or political groups. Never forget that our work serves future generations.
Working hand in hand
Working hand in hand with individuals from diverse backgrounds with different generations, experiences, and expertise. Let’s communicate well to improve each other’s work.
Logo Design
The circle and the shape that surrounds it together represent our ongoing challenge toward net zero and the creation of a sustainable society with public-private collaboration and cooperation with local communities. The red and forest green represent Japan’s “Hinomaru” symbol together with nature such as forests and the sun as sources of energy, and carbon sinks, all linked to decarbonization.
