The games have changed. Deeds, rather than words, count. The landscape of ESG is changing in Japan. As Japanese companies realize the benefits of sustainable business practices, they will continue to develop new business driven sustainable strategies to incorporate these into their operations and investments. A mounting body of evidence suggests that companies with strong centre of gravity where ESG actions drive business growth outperform their peers, making ESG investing a sound financial decision. Whether driven by financial incentives or a desire to do good, the shift toward next generation of ESG investing is gathering momentum in Japan and is likely to continue to gain ground in the years to come. As investors increasingly factor environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their decision-making, companies in Japan are under pressure to improve their ESG performance and investors are under pressure to show tangible results and concrete improvements. Clearly, 2023 will open up new frontiers for ESG investing in Japan, creating a solid ground for Japanese companies and investors to capitalise on the work done. Few companies are prepared for the world we are heading toward and encouraging or pushing them to adapt will be important to protect their value.
