・In Japan, disclosure of sustainability information in securities reports will become mandatory from the fiscal year ending March 2023. A public draft of the Japanese version of S1 and S2 was published in March 2024, and it is expected that a considerable number of companies will apply the standards early from the fiscal year ending March 2025.

・It is becoming commonplace for listed companies to promote their ESG initiatives. Our firm has certified public accountants with extensive experience in disclosure systems who can provide advice on what kind of sustainability disclosure will be required in the future.

・There are some aspects of sustainability disclosure that are required as a response to regulations. However, we will work together with the company to come up with ideas so that these efforts do not end up being merely a response to regulations.​

・For example, if your main customers are large companies such as global corporations, you may be able to create business opportunities by taking a strategic approach to sustainability, as they are part of your supply chain. There are also cases where sustainability disclosure has led to the establishment of an efficient internal management system.
