スチュワードシップ・コードと外国投資家のESG情報開示要求～日本版「コーポレート・ガバナンス・コード」制定へ弾み？～

  • February 12 (Wed) Registration Closed
  • 04:30 ~ 07:30
  • 無料

企業に対するESG情報の開示に対する機関投資家の要求が世界的に高まる中で、日本における今後のESG動向について取り上げ、有識者をお招きして無料セミナーを開催します。本セミナーは、今後加速する日本におけるESG投資とソフト・ロー「コード」の方向性を整理していただく機会となります。IRのご担当者に実務上役立つ情報をお届けするのみならず、ガバナンス推進の観点からは取締役会のメンバー・担当者の方々にこそ、ご参加頂きたいセミナーです。

2012年には世界の金融資産の約25％が国連のPRI(責任投資原則)に署名している投資家によって運用されていました。この比率が2013年には約27％、運用額35兆ドルにまで膨らんでいます。海外の公的年金基金の多くは国連のPRI（責任投資原則）に署名しているため、こうした機関投資家は、アベノミクスとオリンピック開催決定で上昇が見込まれる日本株への投資比率を増やし続けると、日本企業に対してESGに関するより充実した情報開示を求めることになります。国際統合報告評議会（IIRC）が国際統合報告フレームワーク公開草案を公表し、統合報告が具体化されつつあるため、この開示要求の傾向はさらに強まるでしょう。日本の企業は、安定株主獲得と資本調達力増強のためにも、企業の成長戦略上重要と思われるESG情報の開示が強く求められています。
