OPERATIONAL SUPPORT<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The operational backbone for your sustainability activities in Japan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Our Sustainability Operational and Secretariat Support gives Japanese companies and Japan subsidiaries of multinational groups the day-to-day operational capacity their sustainability strategy needs but rarely has in-house. Backed by a global team fluent in both Japanese organizational practice and international frameworks, we act as an extension of your sustainability function: running the secretariat, coordinating across departments and geographies, and organizing the events and touchpoints that keep sustainability visible and alive across your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About this service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability strategies rarely fail for lack of ambition: they stall for lack of operational bandwidth. Most sustainability teams, whether at a Japanese company or a multinational’s Japan subsidiary, are small and stretched thin: expected to run governance processes, coordinate departments and regions that don’t share a language or a reporting culture, and keep employees engaged, all while tracking an expanding set of disclosure obligations.
Codo’s global team provides the ongoing operational support to keep that machinery running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committee secretariat:<\/strong> Agenda preparation, materials drafting (bilingual where needed), minute-taking, and follow-up tracking for your ESG Committee
Cross-departmental and cross-border coordination:<\/strong> Managing data requests and follow-ups across finance, procurement, HR, and business units, including coordination between Japan operations and overseas headquarters or subsidiaries, where language and reporting norms often differ.
Sustainability event planning and delivery: <\/strong>Organizing and running workshops, seminars, and external engagement events, handling everything from logistics and participant coordination to facilitation
Reporting operations:<\/strong> Maintaining data collection calendars, tracking KPI submissions, and preparing draft content ahead of disclosure deadlines (integrated reports, sustainability reports, ESG questionnaires, global group reporting).
Regulatory and framework monitoring: <\/strong>tracking developments across relevant jurisdictions (SSBJ, ISSB, GRI, CDP, and others) and translating what matters into plain business terms for both local and global stakeholders.
Project management: <\/strong>keeping action plans, roadmaps, and board or global HQ commitments on track between review cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to our global team, we can support coordination that spans Japan and overseas offices in the same workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
