The primary theme in the report is ‘regenerative business’ – building new practices, future-ready organisations, and notions of community.
Our research identified wellbeing and work as a primary barrier to sustainable change, with the need to focus on collective and individual agency if we’re going to effectively tackle social and environmental challenges.
Our insights are drawn from unique data and research conducted by our sustainability team, including a national quantitative study and interviews with business, academic, and community leaders.
Some of the themes and areas explored are:
Participants in the study, aged 15-69 from across Japan.
Interviews with sustainability leaders.
Articles exploring regenerative business and sustainable transformation in Japan.
Page report available as a print and digital edition.
Like regenerative business itself, this report has been a collective effort. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the diverse group of study participants whose invaluable time and insights have contributed to its formation.
We also acknowledge the important contributions each, in their own way, is making to the new social fabric, and stand together as a community of changemakers.
