There are benefits for supporting companies to participate in the paid Partner Contests of the eco japan cup.

Prizes for standard contests are donated by cooperating companies. Through the eco japan cup, participants are able to collect business partners and new ideas for developing their eco-businesses. As publicity, office management, a display area and an awards ceremony are all part of the package, there are more benefits on the cost front when compared to managing public offerings alone. In addition, the eco japan cup will provide support through our network of financial institutions, industry, government, academia, and the public.

There are 4 categories and 9 subcategories. Partner Contests can be conducted in 8 subcategories, as shown below. Special Partner Contests can be conducted individually as a Special Category or in multiple categories.

■Participating companies can set the title of Partner Contest "Enterprise Award" in accordance with the goal or concept.
e.g.,
The Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd. supports companies and organizations that carry out community-based environmental conservation activities and raising awareness of coexistence with other organisms via their own products and services, and contribute to local communities under the philosophy of "local coexistence."

The head office of the eco japan cup takes care of contest publicity, dealing with media, responding to applicants, receiving applications, the first screening, arranging and coordinating judges, collecting information, and support of award winners after the contests.
This allows participating companies to reduce expenses as compared to hosting their own contests. In addition, companies are able to join the eco japan cup network.
