Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We propose co-creating with Japanese corporations implementing Green Transformation (GX) strategies to pilot Nobon\u2019s white-label platform. The platform enables streamlined design, financing, and management of green initiatives\u2014such as carbon removal projects\u2014across their supply chains. Through this collaboration, we aim to empower Japanese firms with digital tools to track impact, manage investments, and scale high-integrity climate solutions aligned with GX goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target region \/ country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan, Africa, Central America and the Caribbean, Europe, Southeast Asia, South America – Our head office is in Sweden and our project pipeline is in various developing countries globally with financing and offtake partners in developed countries. The co-creation will enable us develop projects in developing countries and mobilize financing and offtake from developed countries in regions listed above.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are seeking Japanese corporations with active Green Transformation (GX) strategies who are developing or planning to develop green projects\u2014such as carbon removal, sustainable supply chain interventions, or nature-based solutions\u2014where Nobon\u2019s platform can be piloted. We are particularly interested in partners looking to participate in the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), which is expected to come into effect next year, and who require robust digital infrastructure to manage, finance, and report on JCM-eligible projects. Ideal partners would provide access to test sites or demonstration projects within their operations or supply chains, as well as collaboration with internal teams driving GX and ESG efforts. We also seek partners with established networks, customer bases, or sales channels in Japan to support broader platform adoption. Co-creation may involve developing tailored features to meet specific GX, JCM, and sustainability financing goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
