Tokyo, Japan – September 3, 2025 – SOMPO Japan Insurance Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “SOMPO Japan”) and M&A Capital Partners Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “M&A Capital Partners”) are pleased to announce the commencement of a new collaborative consulting service focused on the vital issue of brownfield (contaminated land) revitalization. This initiative aims to address the growing need for effective solutions to enable the safe and profitable redevelopment of contaminated sites across Japan.
The partnership leverages the distinct strengths of each organization. SOMPO Japan, a leading general insurance company with a deep understanding of risk management and a broad network across industries, brings its expertise in environmental liability and remediation solutions. M&A Capital Partners, a specialized firm renowned for its M&A advisory services and its proficiency in facilitating complex business transactions, offers invaluable experience in identifying opportunities, structuring deals, and navigating the intricacies of property development and investment.
This joint venture recognizes the significant economic and environmental challenges posed by contaminated land. Such sites, often legacy industrial areas or former commercial properties, can present substantial risks and liabilities that hinder their sale, redevelopment, and subsequent contribution to economic growth and community benefit. The new consulting service is designed to provide comprehensive support to property owners, developers, investors, and local governments seeking to overcome these obstacles.
The collaborative service will encompass a range of critical areas, including:
- Contamination Assessment and Risk Evaluation: Expert guidance on identifying potential contamination, understanding the associated environmental and financial risks, and developing appropriate assessment strategies.
- Remediation Planning and Execution: Support in formulating effective and cost-efficient remediation plans, connecting clients with qualified environmental remediation contractors, and overseeing the execution of these projects.
- Financial Structuring and Investment Facilitation: Expertise in developing financial models for remediation and redevelopment, identifying potential investors, and structuring M&A transactions to facilitate the acquisition or divestment of contaminated sites.
- Regulatory Compliance and Permitting: Assistance in navigating the complex web of environmental regulations and obtaining necessary permits for remediation and redevelopment activities.
- Market Analysis and Redevelopment Strategy: Providing insights into market trends and developing robust strategies for the most appropriate and profitable use of revitalized brownfield sites.
By combining SOMPO Japan’s robust risk management capabilities and environmental insurance products with M&A Capital Partners’ transactional acumen and M&A expertise, the partnership aims to create a seamless and integrated approach to brownfield redevelopment. This will enable stakeholders to transform challenging sites into valuable assets, contributing to urban renewal, economic development, and the enhancement of environmental quality.
“We are delighted to embark on this collaborative venture with M&A Capital Partners,” stated a representative from SOMPO Japan. “Contaminated land is a complex issue that requires a multi-faceted approach. By joining forces, we believe we can offer unparalleled expertise and comprehensive solutions that will empower property owners and developers to unlock the potential of these sites, fostering sustainable development and contributing to a more vibrant society.”
