Upcoming Events
The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee, in collaboration with Ashurst and the South Australian Government, is pleased to invite you to an afternoon of discussion, insights, and networking at the Australian Embassy in Tokyo.
Australia and Japan are at a pivotal moment in their energy transitions - navigating the shared challenge of advancing decarbonisation while maintaining energy security, industrial competitiveness and investor confidence. Against a backdrop of tightening insurance markets, capital constraints, supply-chain disruption and growing geopolitical uncertainty, managing climate and financial risk is becoming central to sustaining credible transition pathways in 2026 and beyond.
This event will bring together senior leaders from finance, insurance, energy, aviation and industry to examine how Australia and Japan can work together to de-risk the transition while preserving commercial viability and long-term energy security. Discussion will focus on project bankability, regulatory and geopolitical pressures, and practical tools to strengthen resilience across bilateral supply chains and investment flows.
Key areas of strategic alignment between the two countries will be explored, including the evolving role of LNG as a transition fuel, hydrogen and ammonia value chains, carbon markets and supply-chain security, and the growing importance of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Perspectives from across aviation, finance, insurance and energy will help connect policy ambition with commercially grounded transition pathways.
Join us for an afternoon of candid discussion and networking as we explore how Australia and Japan can navigate climate, financial and geopolitical risk - and build a more secure, resilient and investable energy transition together.

Speaker:
Daniel Madaras / CEO in Kamiji Inc.
Daniel started working at Tokyu hotels as a translator in Shizuoka. After moving to Tokyo, he started acting and modelling while teaching English part-time. Being a big fan of the Japanese language, especially the strange and unique writing system, he and his co-founder started developing a Kanji learning game app called ‘Kamiji’. As they were in the fund-raising phase and wanted to be taken seriously, he felt the need to establish a company around the project. This is when they received service from TOSBEC and were able to establish a K.K. in Japan.
※Number of participants in this seminar is limited to 50. Applications will close once the limit is reached
※The seminar will be held online.

For those in the Food and Beverage industry, there is a shared pang of regret felt when faced with the decision to throw away large amounts of food that could be put to better use. According to the Japanese Ministry of Environment, the estimated total amount of food loss and waste generated in Japan in FY 2018 was 25.31 million tons, of which approx. 6 million tons was edible. Japan aims to reduce the amount of edible food loss and waste generation to 4.89 million by FY 2030, with a number of government initiatives in place to bring this issue to the public's attention.
The ANZCCJ Food, Agriculture & Hospitality Committee and GourmetPro invite members and friends to join us at Hilton Tokyo on Thursday 26 May as we explore the food waste challenges faced in Japan and the opportunities to overcome them. Featuring guest speakers Gourmet Pro, Don Roxburgh (Wholesum Japan), Alexander Fellner (Aranea), Frankie Hart (Harnet Corporation), and Martial Diffor (Hilton Tokyo Executive Chef), this event will provide insights on:
- The food waste situation in Japan and its root causes

The transition to a low carbon economy includes a range of processes and solutions. We understand there are many unknowns due to regulation and compliance, market behaviours, stakeholder expectations, technological advancements and global geopolitics. The Ashurst Aurecon Alliance brings together an integrated end to end solution across legal, consulting and engineering that meets the challenges involved in pivoting to a sustainable future. We recognise that the world has changed and that our clients are on a journey of transition whereby sustainability is no longer an aspirational goal for organisations but core to the successful growth of a business.
Join the ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee as we discuss what Net Zero means to Australian businesses and the expectations and requirements of Director's in governing this transition.
- Net Zero in the Australian context – regulation, policy and industry dynamics

Beginning April 2022, the ANZCCJ Member Roundtable Series will create a space for collaborative problem solving around real issues, while also providing valuable networking opportunities for busy business leaders.
The first event in this series will centre on "the importance of D&I in future leaders training", led by ANZCCJ Silver Members and global leadership consultancy The Dream Collective.
Providing leadership training for high potential members of an organisation is standard practice for ensuring that future leaders are equipped with the necessary tools to step into and succeed in these positions.
In addition to core communication and management skills, implementing Diversity & Inclusion into your future leaders' training can be a crucial factor in building a supportive and efficient workplace culture, where staff can adapt quickly and innovate in times of great change. Join this one-hour session to build your understanding of the importance of D&I and discuss best practices among a diverse group of business representatives.
As this is a discussion-based event, active interaction with your fellow participants will be encouraged.
Date: Wed 27 April, 2022
Time: 12PM - 1PM JST
Location: Online (Zoom)
Price: Free (ANZCCJ Members only)
