3 Essential Social Systems for Sustainable Society (ESS) Logo

In order to realize a sustainable society, it will be necessary to promote the three social systems shown below on an ongoing basis. To this end, NEDO has defined such social systems as “Three Essential Social Systems for a Sustainable Society” and created an ESS logo.

NEDO will actively work to promote and expand public awareness of these social systems.

In February 2023, ESS logo was revised to include digital transformation (DX) to these social systems.
