### Engagement | Public Policy Engagement

The NRI Group is actively collaborating with stakeholders to help achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.As a think tank, we provide policy recommendations to government agencies, conduct research on legislation, and engage in environmental policy advocacy.

To contribute to Japan's mid- to long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, we endorsed METI's GX (Green Transformation) League Basic Concept in March 2022. Building on this commitment, we declared our intention to join the GX League in March 2023, recognizing that decarbonization is vital not only for the NRI Group but for society as a whole.

Since FY 2022, the NRI Group has served as the secretariat and overall coordinator of the GX League. In this capacity, we identify the diverse needs of Japanese companies in advancing GX initiatives and ensure these needs are reflected in policymaking.

Initiatives that NRI participates

Through a wide range of partnerships with both domestic and international industry associations, the NRI Group is actively promoting and expanding its efforts to address climate change. This includes participation in sustainability initiatives such as aligning with the Paris Agreement and contributing to Japan's government-led efforts for the mid-to long-term reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The Sustainability Activities Committee regularly reviews whether these initiatives are consistent with NRI's core policies on climate change and their alignment with the Paris Agreement.
