ISCC PLUS & SAF Conference
Sustainability Certification in Japan
On 21 January, around 220 attendees gathered at the Grand Hotel Nikko, in Tokyo’s Daiba district for the ISCC PLUS & SAF Conference – Sustainability Certification in Japan. As a key country for ISCC, and with approximately 90% of its 500+ certifications being with ISCC PLUS, we had a very productive day in Japan with two focus streams (ISCC PLUS and SAF), networking opportunities for sustainability-minded professionals, and insights from industry speakers and experts alike. We would like to extend our gratitude to Control Union Japan, this event’s main sponsor, our additional sponsors, SGS and Mitsubishi Corporation, and stream sponsors, BITS and SCS Global, for making this event possible. Of course, our final thanks go to our incredible speakers, who took the time to share their knowledge and experience with us, as well as the attendees who joined us.
