Sustainability initiatives

We determined “Sustainability Policy of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan” in April 2022.
The policy aims to hold the EXPO that provides new solutions to sustainability challenges, with the 5 Ps of “Sustainable Development Goals”(SDGs) (People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, Partnership) as its aspects.

Based on the ” Sustainability Policy of EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan”, we determined “Sustainability Action Plan of EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (1^st Edition)” in April 2023. This action plan shows the overall picture of our plan to achieve sustainability through the preparation and operation of the Expo and makes the first annual report to stakeholders.

Towards the sustainable operation of the EXPO, we determined “EXPO 2025 Green Vision” in April 2022.
The vision contains the directions and initiatives towards achieving “Carbon Neutral” and “Circular Economy” in the operation of the EXPO.

For the sustainable EXPO operations, we determined “Code of Sustainable Procurement“.
The code contains standards and practices to consider sustainability in the procurement process of goods and services.

The Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition (hereinafter referred to as “the Organiser of the World Expo 2025 ”) has established a Whistleblowing section concerning the Procurement Code to properly respond to the reports concerning noncompliance with the Procurement Code.
A whistleblowing section applies to everything that is procured by the Organiser of the World Expo 2025, including goods and services, related to the International Exposition, Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”), procured by Suppliers, Licensees, Pavilion Organisers and Sponsors, with the scope extending to supply chains.
