The accountability of the Board for the exercise of its responsibilities to shareholders lies at the heart of corporate governance.

CCGJ's goal is to help Japanese corporations understand the practical steps they can take to improve their performance in this key area.

We approach this goal through constructive dialogue with the top management of leading Japanese companies.

We focus particularly on capital efficiency as a vital lever for improving long-term corporate value.

We aim to bring the issues that matter to shareholders to the attention of company boards in a way that shows that they are in the long-term interests of all stakeholders.

Our clients are investment management firms from around the world investing in Japan who want to see boards maximise corporate value through a coherent strategy, a strategy that shows the same emphasis on efficiency in capital policy as most Japanese firms already aim for in their operations.

We visit companies nominated by our clients and report on the attitude of management towards capital allocation and their ability to improve corporate value.

CCGJ staff have backgrounds in investment management and investment banking in Japan going back over 25 years. We have a proven track record of building a positive relationship with Company Management that has helped the introduction of measures to improve corporate value
