Dominate Japan Through Sustainable Procurement

Rapid Carbon Emission Reduction Needs

  • As Japan aims to cut carbon emissions by 26% by 2030, companies must integrate sustainable procurement to meet these targets, or they risk falling behind sustainability laws.
  • Adopting green procurement will leverage companies' efforts to adhere to these environmental goals, enhance their ecological footprint, and meet both global and national sustainability standards.

Rising Demand for Eco-friendly Products

  • With consumer demand for green products rising 70% in Japan, companies with sustainable procurement sources gain a competitive edge, protecting and enhancing market share.
  • Capitalizing on this shift by aligning supply chains with eco-friendly materials can enhance brand loyalty, bringing long-term benefits and appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.

Incentives for Sustainability Transition

  • Japan offers grant incentives covering up to 50% of sustainability projects. This financial advantage lowers the upfront cost for procuring green resources, paving the way for sustainable transitions.
  • Such financial support, aligned with corporate sustainability agendas, helps in realizing operational shifts toward holistic environmental practices within a sustainable budget.

Long-term Cost Saving Patterns

  • Eco-smart supply chains potentially yield 25% operational savings over traditional practices. Redefining procurement can reduce reliance on raw materials and save resources.
  • To tap into this, reengineered processes can be central; optimizing resource use while decreasing expenses showcases inherent value beyond the immediate environment compliance.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."
