Unlocking shareholder value through collaborative engagement

On 17 December 2024, ACGA sent the Financial Services Agency (FSA) some case studies and illustration of ACGA efforts on collaborative engagement, together with our findings on arrangements for these meetings that have had successful outcomes, and others where the outcomes were not successful. Collaborative engagement can play a pivotal role through bringing together the views of international investors and those on the ground in Japan to help unlock shareholder value. However positive outcomes require planning and coordination as we highlight in this presentation and as we follow in our Working Groups. We hope our feedback can help shape the imminent Stewardship code revision expected by March 2025.
