Under the support of the UN, institutional investors all over the world have formed a network called the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) to implement “ESG” —on the basis that business growth should occur in conjunction with consideration for three key factors, the environment, society, and governance, which are all interrelated and play a role in the growth of the business—in analyzing and making decisions regarding investments, as well as to encourage the business sector to disclose ESG data in a concrete way in order to assure stakeholders and investors that they are supporting companies that operate responsibly and are truly committed to sustainability.

Nowadays, the “Sustainable Business Model” under the “ESG” framework is gaining widespread attention
from both listed companies and investors around the world who place importance on investing in companies with business practices that take into account the sustainability of the business and society as a whole. Companies’ performance in “ESG,” assessed based on these three indicators, are now used as a criterion in evaluating the sustainability, long-term competitiveness, and ability of a business to generate value for all stakeholders in order to inform investment decisions. This reflects the fact that investors wish to invest responsibly and are seeking returns not in the form of profit alone. Rather, they also would like to see more emphasis placed on the environment, society, and corporate governance.
