Would you like to join The Japan Times in examining and spreading information about sustainable lifestyles and efforts in Japan?
The Sustainable Japan Network initiative aims to disseminate all kinds of such information in English through communicating with you, our readers.
In October 2020, in search of a new normal during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Japan Times launched Sustainable Japan to convey what is happening in Japan regarding sustainability and how Japan can contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
Starting with key people who have been active in Japan and overseas since 2018, activities of the Japan Times ESG Consortium and Satoyama Consortium have been disseminated overseas by networking companies and organizations that have been active in various ways toward the realization of a sustainable society.
Combining these, The Japan Times launched the new Sustainable Japan Network in June 2021.

The Sustainable Japan Network will give members opportunities to speak at symposiums and events alongside key people from Japan and abroad. The resulting content will be featured both in print and online. Members will have access to full-length event videos in our archives.
The Japan Times' Sustainable Japan pages on Mondays and Sustainable Japan Magazine will feature our members' efforts toward sustainability, and also make those articles available on the Sustainable Japan website.
Members will be able to post an unlimited number of press releases in English on The Japan Times' website via the Comfacts corporate information database.
The Sustainable Japan Award (originally the Satoyama and ESG Awards) has both a satoyama section and an ESG section. Our goal is to commend individuals, companies and organizations that have made advances toward sustainability, and we hope to make their activities better known both domestically and internationally.
The Japan Times is Japan's oldest English-language newspaper,
first published in 1897 and it has the largest circulation of any English-language newspaper in Japan.
The Japan Times readers are not only foreigners living in Japan, but also government officials, people from all around the world, as well as media from other countries, who use it as a reliable source of information on Japan.
It launched its website in 1996 and now uses social media as a tool to communicate the present and future of Japan to the world.
Past archives have been used by overseas universities and public libraries for historical research on Japan and Asia.
