Summary of Results of Impact Forum

Japan’s Impact Consortium was launched with public-private collaboration in November 2023, as an interactive-communication platform where impact-driven stakeholders could join in and share their expertise and experiences.

The first Impact Forum was hosted by the JFSA to provide opportunities to share market’s views and commitments to impact, as well as raise awareness on the need for investment that would create environmental or social impact and to enhance sustainability for businesses and the economy.

At the forum, speeches and panel discussions were held on initiatives to create impacts in various fields. In total, 457 people participated in the forum from a wide range of sources, including financial institutions, operating companies, and local governments.

The archive video of the forum is released on the dedicated Impact Consortium website(Available in Japanese).
