Efforts over many years toward responsible investment
We are an industry-wide pioneer in participating in initiatives and developing internal systems related to responsible investment. The following is a summary of our efforts toward responsible investment.
45% of our engagement was focused on ESG in FY2022
We believe it is possible that companies who adequately managed Governance will resolve Environment- and Society-related issues.
There are a number of examples of approaching these solutions from a Governance perspective, which has led to Governance having a particularly high percentage within ESG as a whole.
