TOKYO -- Tokyo's Shizenkan University, a graduate school, is opening a Center for Sustainability and Innovation after August this year.

The business-focused college will offer two courses targeting executives in the private and public sectors. One of the courses is aimed at teaching large-scale environmental strategies that will fall in line with government policies and current thinking. Another course targets millennials who are more socially conscious, aiming to inspire intrapreneurship.
