Join us for an insightful webinar as we delve into the latest sustainability policy developments, globally, and within the United States and Japan. Since our last update, new Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosure rules by the Financial Services Agency have taken effect and, in the U.S., ESG has become increasingly politicized as the Securities and Exchange Commission moves to finalize its climate disclosure rule. Under Japan’s G7 Presidency, Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors have expressed strong support for consistent, comparable and reliable disclosure of sustainability information.
We are pleased to welcome back USJC Associate Kyle Lawless (EY Japan) to help us explore the significant developments since the last October, including what’s next for Japan and the U.S. as well as other major global developments vis-à-vis ESG disclosure policy including the latest work of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into ESG disclosure policy including dates to watch in the months ahead and how these changes will affect your business.
