Nishimura & Asahi (Gaikokuho Kyodo Jigyo) hosted an event on climate change in partnership with the Third Arrow Strategies Japan Board Diversity Network on October 24th.
Considering the movements regarding this issue in the US and EU, board directors play a crucial role in addressing climate change. They are responsible for overseeing the effective management of climate-related impacts and ensuring that climate risks and opportunities are part of company strategy.
