Part 4 begins by analyzing the implications of corporate governance reform for Japanese companies and the domestic market.

The section also offers a clear explanation of what responsible investors expect in sustainability communication – a critical challenge in corporate disclosure – highlighting key issues and practical responses, supported by concrete examples.
