Significant numbers of companies and financial institutions have publicly committed to achieve sustainability objectives, including net zero, with over 700 publicly listed companies of the Forbes Global 2000 having committed to net zero. Yet there is significant variability in the quality of these commitments and doubts about their integrity.

On Tuesday 28th March, the Transition Plan Taskforce, together with the Japan Climate Initiative, UN Principles for Responsible Investment, GFANZ, ClientEarth, and the University of Oxford hosted an event to provide participants with a primer on what Transition Plans are, why they are important, the latest regulatory and policy developments relevant to transition plans, and how this is relevant to users and preparers of transition plans in Japan.

Leading international experts explored these topics during an afternoon event in Tokyo on Tuesday 28th March.
