On December 20, 2019, Japan Exchange Group, Inc. and the Japanese Financial Services Authority held a symposium entitled “Dialogue between companies and investors on TCFD”.
The topic was discussed from various points of view, with speakers including experts from the FSA, a government-related research body, an asset manager, a consulting firm, and listed companies. After keynote speeches on the physical impact of climate change, how Japanese business is progressing on climate-related disclosures, and ideal management styles for tackling climate change issues, a panel discussion included real examples of climate-related disclosures from listed companies, and comments from other panelists.
The symposium was attended by around 300 delegates from mostly TCFD Consortium member companies and organizations.
