ESG, Governance & Sustainability       

 

Through numerous recent corporate scandals, investors and other stakeholders expect companies to strengthen legal compliance and corporate govenance in Japan.

​

We advise corporations on regulatory compliance and corporate governance related with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) such as:

• Corporate Law

• Environmental Law

• Labor Law

• Business and Human Rights

• Competition Law

• Consumer Protection Law

​

We do not only focus on the legality or illegality of corporate activities. But we also analyze the potential impact to other stakeholders and expected response from them. Through this analysis, we can provide our clients with the best solution benefiting them in the long term.
