Investment Policy
ESG Initiatives
In March 2018, JIS became a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment being promoted by the United Nations.
JIS established environmental, social, and governance guidelines, has incorporated them in its investment decision-making and monitoring process as a means to ensure responsible investing, and has contributed to sustainable corporate value creation.
In accordance with the Paris Agreement, various organizations including governments and companies have been accelerating initiatives toward a carbon-neutral society; recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) promote the disclosure of climate-related information. JIS supports the spirit of the Paris Agreement and accepts the TCFD recommendations.
Recognizing risks and opportunities related to ESGs including climate change, JIS is committed to considering and promoting appropriate measures and fulfilling its obligations to all relevant stakeholders.
