Who we are

Bringing the buds ofa sustainable future into bloom.

The quest for net zero.
Japan has the potential to lead the world by pioneering this effort. With technologies that improve productivity while reducing energy costs. And businesses that make good use of local resources to revitalize communities and economies. Together with a wide range of stakeholders aiming to deliver net zero by 2050, we work with you to bring the buds of new technologies and businesses into bloom and open up a better, sustainable future.

President's Message

To the future of Japanbeyond net zero.

To the future of Japanbeyond net zero.

We want to create a better future for the generations to come. We want to work together to find what we can do right now, and support the realization of this goal. JICN was established with this future-oriented idea in mind.

Now is the time - the major shifts in our industrial and economic systems must proceed without delay to realize net zero. On the other hand, the world’s social and economic issues are becoming more pressing. Globally, energy security poses serious challenges, while in Japan, we are struggling with an ever decreasing population and the desolation of local communities, along with sluggish economic growth. Under these circumstances, the road to net zero must involve more than simply reducing or removing GHG, and we need to seize the opportunity to create new social and economic value and strive for economic growth. At JICN we actively assist the decarbonization industry with the huge investments needed to overcome these challenges, helping to increase corporate value and revitalize local communities.

Our predecessor, Green Finance Organisation, had mainly supported renewable energy projects in local communities since its foundation in 2013. Drawing on the experiences and knowhow gained from those activities, JICN is supporting a more diverse range of businesses. And by connecting all the various stakeholders involved in decarbonization, we help to create new technologies and business models. Tackling decarbonization by widening the scope from local to the entire country, creating resilient and lively local communities, and eventually helping Japan and the rest of the world grow - all of this, I believe, is precisely the mission assigned to us.

At our establishment, we received investment from more than 80 shareholders. To respond to their expectations, we invite all the various stakeholders - shareholders, business operators, national and local government, regional financial institutions, and others - to share their ideas on decarbonization, and go forward together.
