About the Tokyo Bay eSG Project

The Tokyo Bay eSG Project envisions a sustainable city where nature and convenience coexist, drawing on Bay Area innovations with a 50–100 year outlook. A century ago, Eiichi Shibusawa embraced principles akin to today’s SDGs, while Shinpei Goto built modern Tokyo’s foundation. Inspired by their long-term vision, the eSG concept extends ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) principles with a forward-looking approach to Tokyo’s urban development.
