Tokyo Metropolitan Government: Decarbonization Management Planning Support for Enterprises (SBT Certification Acquisition Support for SMEs)

This Tokyo Metropolitan Government initiative supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in achieving decarbonized management by assisting with Science Based Targets (SBT) certification acquisition and related planning. The program accelerates corporate carbon neutrality while strengthening environmental responsibility and competitive advantage. Eligible applicants are SMEs with headquarters or business locations in Tokyo, meeting the criteria of capital ≤300 million JPY or ≤300 employees. The support covers consulting fees, expert dispatch costs, and other expenses necessary for decarbonization planning and SBT certification pathway development. Participating enterprises must demonstrate capacity for concrete decarbonization planning and commitment to science-based emission reduction targets. SBT certification enhances corporate brand value and stakeholder trust, making early application and planning engagement critical for maximum benefit.
