Fri Apr 04 08:40:00 UTC 2025: ## New Members-Only Sustainability Salon Launches to Support Corporate GX Strategies

**Tokyo, Japan – March 28, 2025** – Skill Up NeXt, a Tokyo-based company specializing in GX and sustainability training, announced the official launch of its exclusive Green Leaders Network (GLN) membership salon in April 2025. The salon aims to provide practical knowledge and networking opportunities for corporate sustainability and GX officers.

Driven by the increasing complexity of regulations surrounding emissions trading, evolving calculation methods, SSBJ standards, and the growing emphasis on proactive GX strategies, the GLN addresses the challenges faced by corporate sustainability professionals. Many companies struggle to keep up with the latest information, access peer-to-peer support, and learn from other companies’ experiences.

GLN leverages Skill Up NeXt’s expertise in supporting over 600 companies and municipalities in their GX initiatives. The salon offers:

* **Bi-monthly corporate sessions:** Featuring GX leaders from domestic and international companies sharing practical case studies and solutions.
* **Bi-monthly academic sessions:** Providing insights into global trends and government policies from experts and policymakers.
* **Networking opportunities:** Facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing among professionals from diverse industries.

A successful pilot program in February and March 2025, featuring speakers from Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd., Daiwa Securities Co., Ltd., and the Sustainable Finance Platform Association, received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with 90% of participants recommending it to colleagues.

The official launch event on April 16th, 2025, will feature Takanobu Suehiro, Group CSuO Assistant at Mizuho Financial Group, Inc., discussing communication strategies for driving company-wide sustainability initiatives. This introductory session is free and open to those interested in experiencing GLN’s value. Registration closes April 11th.
