……
Astamuse Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director Ayumu Nagai) will hold an event for financial institutions on the theme of visualizing ESG activities on Thursday, December 21, 2023 from 16:00 to 17:00. We will be holding a free webinar titled “Assessing the potential of investee companies to solve social issues in the age of weeding out ‘pseudo-ESG”’. The webinar with the same title held in November was very popular, so we decided to hold it again in December.

▼Overview
In an era where “sustainability” is becoming an essential condition for working in society, the role of institutional investors in promoting ESG activities as fund providers is becoming increasingly important.
In response to this expectation, many institutional investors are engaging in ESG investment, encouraging the companies they invest in to reform, and disseminating the significance and results of ESG activities to the world.
However, since ESG is non-financial information, it is also a very difficult topic to evaluate as there is no common standard.
When it comes to ESG investment, there is also stricter scrutiny of “pseudo-ESG.” There are also cases where it has been pointed out that the process for selecting companies to invest in is unclear, and that there is a lack of ESG information disclosure. While the expansion of ESG investment contributes to solving social issues, “sham ESG investment” without actual results could undermine the credibility of ESG investment as a whole.
Utilizing one of the world’s largest databases centered on
non-financial and intangible asset data, we have supported many business companies and institutional investors in visualizing their ESG activities.
In this webinar, we will use the world’s largest intangible assets visualization database to introduce how to visualize ESG while ensuring transparency of logic, including case studies.
*This is a re-presentation of the webinar with the same title held on November 21, 2023.
