……
The GSG Domestic Advisory Committee (Chairman: Ken Shibusawa, Secretariat: Foundation for the Promotion of Social Change) has been working to expand the impact investment market in Japan. In order to create impact and sustainably increase corporate value even after listing, we will foster common understanding between impact companies and investors and other capital market stakeholders through
information disclosure, etc., and work constructively. With the aim of promoting meaningful dialogue, the “Guidance for Information Disclosure and Dialogue in the Capital Market by Impact Companies” was held on Friday, May 10th for impact companies, investors, and other stakeholders in the capital market. We have released the “First Edition” (hereinafter referred to as the “Guidance”)”.
Guidance for information disclosure and dialogue in capital markets for impact companies, 1st edition
https://impactinvestment.jp/user/media/resources-pdf/Impact-IPO_word_JPN_v1_FIX.pdf This guidance describes the cycle of “positive feedback,” which refers to a cycle in which corporate value is improved while increasing evaluation from the capital market, which in turn leads to the creation of impact and profits, making sustainable growth
possible.・Impact companies will be able to introduce specific measures to accelerate positive feedback loops, such as “formulating strategies,” “formulating business plans/setting KPIs,” and “improving management decision-making processes.” It is listed for each of the four steps, from “Incorporation” to “Information Disclosure/Dialogue.”
