Enhancing Corporate Governance

From the standpoint of a market operator, Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) operates its listing rules based on the basic understanding that it is necessary to set clear goals for the enhancement of corporate governance of listed companies and to firmly establish the groundwork to achieve these goals.

The goals are that company management gains an awareness of the need to take responsibility for appropriate disclosure, and that companies appropriately utilize independent outside personnel to check the actions of management. In order to promote these, we request listed companies to disclose corporate governance reports as a means of clearly communicating about their corporate governance to investors.

Design of Corporate Governance Reports

Corporate governance reports are designed to improve the comparability of corporate governance information for investors.

In the past, disclosure of corporate governance-related information in financial statements was left to the discretion of each company and was disclosed together with other financial information, making it difficult for investors to independently compare and judge each company's corporate governance system. Therefore, TSE decided to collect corporate governance-related information in the form of reports from each company and make this available to view at any time in one place, on the TSE website.
