BSR is a supporter of RI Asia Japan 2018. The conference will showcase the best examples of sustainable investing and sustainable business practices from experts in Japan and abroad.
Many Japanese companies are working hard to embed sustainability into their business practices. They are reacting to direct pressure from foreign investors, but the concept of sustainable growth achieved via improved corporate behavior is moving from the CSR departments through to investor relations, and from there to Japan’s CEOs and CFOs. They are being aided by initiatives such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which have created a common language around which investors and companies can discuss how to create value collaboratively.

What courses of action will help private equity firms address climate risks and opportunities in an actionable, meaningful way? BSR suggests two types of approach.
A responsible investment policy is a private equity firm's commitment to incorporate ESG factors into investment decisions to better manage risk and generate sustainable, long-term returns. Our white paper outlines guidance for private equity firms on a straightforward approach, relevant principles, and practical tips to use in developing a responsible investment policy.
Over the past 10 years, the private equity sector has seen responsible investment approaches move from exception to expectation. Formalized integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations is becoming the norm. For all firms, a meaningful policy is fundamental to responsible investment and ESG integration.
There is an urgent need to enhance disclosure practices across all industries that receive requests for data and assistance from law enforcement agencies.
