About the Company
- EDF’s work in Japan currently focuses on two main priorities: (1) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas production and use by 2030, while meeting the world’s energy needs cleanly and equitably and (2) to safeguard the ocean, protect nature and create more secure livelihoods by ensuring climate resilient fisheries.
- We draw on strong science and economics and innovative partnerships with policymakers, industry and investors to reform policies, regulations, and practices to achieve durable solutions.
- The goal of EDF’s Energy Transition team is to bend the curve on global greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel production and use by 2030, cleanly and equitably.
- We will achieve this through a defined set of strategies targeted at 1) reducing emissions from fossil fuel production, delivery, and use, and 2) reducing demand for fossil fuels in power generation, transportation, buildings, and industry.
- To achieve this goal, we seek reforms in law, regulation, and/or business practice through a mix of strategic corporate partnerships, direct engagement with policymakers, and mobilizing investor and public sentiment in favor of change.
- In formulating and achieving our strategies, we will work in close collaboration with EDF regions, draw on cutting-edge science and rigorous economic and financial analysis, and develop durable solutions.
- Building a Vibrant Culture
