Team Sapporo-Hokkaido Green Finance Framework
Team Sapporo-Hokkaido has established the ”Team Sapporo-Hokkaido Green Finance Framework.” By setting quantitative criteria, this framework aims to create an environment where domestic and international capital providers can obtain objective information for their decisions, thereby enhancing the reliability and attractiveness of the GX (Green Transformation) investment market in Hokkaido.
We have established ”Green Criteria” to indicate the contribution to decarbonization and ”Regional Sustainability Criteria” to show the degree of coexistence with the local community.
Through this, we aim to create the world’s first framework for the sustainable growth of both the region and GX businesses.
Criteria have been set for the four sectors where early investment is expected: offshore wind power, hydrogen, data centers, and storage batteries. Please refer to the “Master Framework” below for an overview of the framework, and the respective “Sub-frameworks” for details on the technical criteria for each sector.

This framework has received a third-party evaluation from DNV, an independent external reviewer.
This framework was established with support from the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI), which issued a joint statement last December. CEO Sean Kidney has provided a comment in the Master Framework regarding the role this framework is expected to play. The following is an excerpt from his comment.
