Sustainable Lab Begins Collaboration with Tottori Bank
Sustainable Lab, which provides the platform "TERRAST for Enterprise" to support corporate ESG information disclosure and financial/non-financial data analysis support, has signed an agreement with Tottori Bank to cooperate in helping regional companies achieve ESG and sustainability management.
Background of Collaboration
Regional companies face unique challenges in promoting ESG and sustainability management, including lack of human resources and specialized knowledge, limited access to information, and financial constraints. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, it is difficult to secure dedicated teams and make long-term investment decisions. However, these companies also have the potential to create essential ESG value through the utilization of local resources and co-creation with local communities. Therefore, establishing a support system through collaboration with financial institutions that support regional companies is key to realizing a sustainable regional economy.
Sustainable Lab will collaborate with Tottori Bank to provide the opportunity to use "TERRAST for Enterprise" as a special benefit for the bank's "Tottori Bank Sustainability Start Loan" program. Companies using this loan will have the opportunity to visualize their ESG and sustainability management status through "TERRAST for Enterprise." Additionally, sustainability initiatives will be posted on Tottori Bank's website, contributing to improving corporate image, talent acquisition, business expansion, and overall brand value enhancement for the bank's clients.
