Abstract

In recent years, the global environment has experienced major changes. The rise in the average global temperature due to greenhouse gas emissions is one of them. This study explores investment activities, focusing on environment, social and corporate governance (ESG) in Japan. In the past, ESG investment in Japan was less attractive than that in Europe and the US. However, awareness of ESG investment in Japan has increased, and Japan’s ESG investment initiatives significantly contribute to environmental protection. This study considers the current status and future tasks of ESG investment in Japan.
