Programme details
Sompo Environment Foundation launched the ""CSO Learning Program"" in Japan in 2000 and in Indonesia in 2019. To date, over 1,500 graduates have gone on contribute to the environmental field in both countries. This long-term, paid internship program, specialized in the environmental sector, is highly regarded as an outstanding human resource development initiative with no parallel in either country.
In the first half of the event, we will focus on the fact that this program is operated by a corporate foundation. A guest from the Keidanren Committee on Nature Conservation will discuss how companies can contribute to the environmental issues. Additionally, academic experts with deep knowledge of environmental issues in both countries will talk about Indonesia's current environmental challenges and the significance of Japanese companies supporting human resource development in Indonesia.
The second half will feature a panel discussion with program alumni from both countries. These young changemakers will share their experiences, discuss what they learned from the program, and explore the realities of youth-led environmental initiatives. They will also address the importance of fostering the next generation of environmental leaders. Through these discussions, the session will highlight the commonalities and differences in environmental challenges between Indonesia and Japan and examine the ideal approach to corporate-driven, cross-border social contributions.
