[About the Certificate of Support for OECMs (Other Effective area based Conservation Measures)]
The Certificate of Support for OECMs is a system through which the Ministry of the Environment issues a certificate for companies and others who have provided assistance that will maintain and enhance the quality of the Nationally Certified Sustainably Managed Natural Sites. Recently, companies are facing increasing demand to shift to a nature positive management approach including conservation of natural resources to sustain their business activities. Companies and other organizations that do not own land can also demonstrate the shift to a nature positive management approach by supporting activities to conserve natural sites in their communities as well as those integrated into their value chain. The Certificate for Support for OECMs can be a tool for companies to prove that they are making meaningful support for environmental conservation activities.

Inviting experts, the Ministry of the Environment has been leading discussion for designing the certification system of support for OECMs in the Study Group on Economic Incentives for 30by30 (https://www.env.go.jp/nature/biodiversity/OECM.html) and other meetings, taking into account the potential use for TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) and disclosures as part of IR activities to make the system attractive for the private sector. After conducting a trial certification system in 2024, the Ministry of the Environment will start operating the system in full scale in 2025.
