The world is undergoing major changes toward the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) by 2030 and the creation of a sustainable future beyond that. Sustainability initiatives are no longer an obligation for companies and organizations, but an exciting theme that enhances corporate strength and creates new business opportunities. One Planet Cafe Inc. has many years of sustainability experience and operates in Japan, Sweden and Africa. Based on sustainability principles and Swedish success stories, we support hopeful sustainable businesses that can connect with the world's people and creatures with the planet's worth of resources. In 2016, we obtained Fairtrade Certification (WFTO), and in 2020, we were recognized as one of the 15 companies that are working on SDGs by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
In order to deepen understanding of the rules (principles) that are the essence of sustainability, students will acquire the ability to apply and take action. Lectures and training by globally active lecturers cover topics such as basic understanding of SDGs and sustainability, introduction of new businesses and innovations that grow from the perspective of sustainability, and secrets of initiatives that produce results. We will also introduce many specific initiatives of Sweden, which leads the world.
