to accelerate sustainable transformation

At SDG Impact Japan (SIJ), we collaborate with a network of experts and partners to spur innovators and shift capital toward a more sustainable future. With specialized knowledge in finance, business, and sustainability, we incubate next-generation ventures and lead impactful, sustainability-driven investment strategies.

Our Mission

Spur Innovators and Shift Capital to Accelerate a Sustainable Transformation for Future Generations

Combining diverse expertise, we work with like-minded partners—from startups to listed companies—to accelerate sustainable transformation.

Our Approach

It’s essential for businesses to be mindful of the negative impacts they may have on society and the environment. But building a sustainable society for the next generation takes more than reducing harm alone—it demands that we also create positive impact.


We don’t believe global challenges can be “solved” by any one organization alone. That’s why we work with our Like-minded partners in Japan and around the world to turn ideas into action and deliver impact at scale.


With sustainability as our non-negotiable core, we strive to create a virtuous cycle between our two businesses—Incubation and Fund—so that each strengthens the other and accelerates meaningful change.
