About Us

ESG-IREC has established an interdisciplinary and cross-industry activity team structure under the co-chairmanship, with directors in five fields: Academic Collaboration; Business Collaboration: Project Based Learning (PBL); International Collaboration; and UN Collaboration.

The scope and backgrounds of the team is broad. In order to transition to a more sustainable economy and society than we currently see, cross-sectional collaboration and cooperation among various actors in business and society is essential.
