Delivering the voices of stakeholders around the world to the Japanese business community. New program “Stakeholder dialogue will save the world!” ” commonly known as “#Secaste” was produced by 8bitNews Proxy Watcher Co., Ltd., which connects dialogue between Japanese companies and shareholders and stakeholders around the world, introduces dialogue on ESG investment (environment, society, governance) in a dialogue format.
……
Be the first to communicate the changes that global stakeholders expect from Japanese companies.
Nippon Corporation’s long-standing management issues include delays in taking measures to combat climate change, the gender pay gap, and the lack of female directors. However, the situation changed completely in June 2015 when the Financial Services Agency and the Tokyo Stock Exchange formulated and applied the Corporate Governance Code. Coupled with the fact that companies around the world are becoming more aware of “stakeholder capitalism,” dialogue between Japanese companies and investors and stakeholders around the world is becoming more active. Investors around the world are paying close attention to Japanese companies, especially when it comes to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments, including shareholder proposals related to climate change countermeasures, issues related to business and human rights, and disclosure requests regarding corporate lobbying activities. We are under pressure to understand different needs. Ko Matsuki, representative of Proxy Watcher Co., Ltd., which supports dialogue between Japanese companies and the world, will welcome experts active in the field of ESG investment as guests and quickly inform them of changes in Japanese companies.
The first to fifth episodes will be streamed for five consecutive nights on the official Youtube channel “8bitNews -Jun Hori-” from 7pm on Tuesday, June 11th. Channel “Playlist” link:
