Aiming for 'a world where people want to implement GX', Bywill Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yuichiro Shimomura; hereinafter 'Bywill'), which promotes economic circulation utilizing environmental value, will host a working group (hereinafter 'WG') themed around Scope 2 response titled 'The Future of Scope 2 Reduction' starting in April 2026 for a total of three sessions. This WG will be held within the 'Environmental Digital Platform' (hereinafter 'Environmental DPF'), a platform provided by Konica Minolta, Inc. (hereinafter 'Konica Minolta') where corporate representatives engaged in environmental and sustainability fields can interact and discuss. In this WG, Bywill will participate as the first external facilitator, sorting out issues and exchanging opinions on Scope 2 responses with participating companies.
Background: WG Design Combining Practical Corporate Challenges and Expert Knowledge
The Environmental DPF is a space where corporate representatives in environmental and sustainability fields share practical insights and challenges, engaging in cross-corporate discussions. As environmental demands, regulations, and market trends become more sophisticated and complex, there are an increasing number of themes that are difficult to clarify and examine based solely on an individual company's experience.
In the Environmental DPF, Konica Minolta, serving as the secretariat, has traditionally led WGs where practical companies deepen their studies through dialogue on specific themes.
Recently, in response to the growing complexity of decarbonization standards, Bywill proposed a WG themed around 'Formulating a Scope 2 Response Portfolio' leveraging its expertise and practical insights, which led to this collaboration.
Bywill possesses top-class domestic practical experience in supporting J-Credit creation and corporate GX promotion. Its expertise has been internationally recognized; for example, it was interviewed by the UK-based global carbon market research firm 'Quantum Commodity Intelligence,' with numerous quotes from Yosuke Isa, Director and CSO of Bywill.*
In this WG, utilizing Bywill's expert knowledge within the co-creation space provided by Konica Minolta, discussions will be deepened starting from the Scope 2 challenges and practical examples of participating companies, aiming for each company to find examination perspectives tailored to their own situations.
