ESG

ESG Investment Strategy
of SBI Investment Co. Ltd.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance, and encompasses the full range of environmental, social and governance activities that arise in the course of corporate management and investment management.

A growing number of companies are adopting ESG management not only to increase shareholder value, the traditional corporate objective, but also to advance the shared interests of all stakeholders, including employees, local communities and business partners. ESG has now become the most important element of sustainable management.
