In 2020, the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held. We are now living in the context where even two planets will not be enough to sustain our activities by 2050 unless we change our lifestyles, and as a negative aspect of globalization disparity and poverty are expanding every year. Thus, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be held under these conditions, should contribute to improvement of these circumstances.

Caux Round Table Japan(CRT Japan) requests the following influential organizations to gain the understanding of sustainable events, develop plans and carry out events based on that understanding for achievement of the sustainable Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. Thus, CRT Japan released the “Request on Sustainability of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games” on 20 March 2015. CRT Japan also promises to contribute toward the achievement together.

• The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games
• The International Olympic Committee and the Japanese Olympic Committee
• The International Paralympic Committee and the Japanese Paralympic Committee
• The Japanese Government
• Corporate Sponsors

CRT Japan expects the above organizations to respect the accumulated efforts on Sustainability made by the past Olympic and Paralympic Games, inherit their legacy created through them, and proactively strive to tackle improvements. In addition, CRT Japan expects them to fully concentrate on from all the events to implement the meaningful Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020.
