Uzabase, Inc. (UB) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a database of corporate governance data for companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) and its related systems and businesses from the Board Director Training Institute of Japan (BDTI).
Established with the mission to improve corporate governance at Japanese companies and facilitate the safe, sustainable, and ethical development of the Japanese economy, the BDTI has been collecting this data since the introduction of Japan’s Corporate Governance Code in 2015.
This acquisition will enable UB to provide governance data obtained from securities reports, corporate governance reports, and proxy voting reports to investors and companies located in Japan and overseas.
Despite a rising interest in corporate governance among Japanese companies in recent years, many investors and companies have struggled to gain access to relevant information. Users of UB services will now be able to leverage this newly acquired corporate governance data to analyze and compare the evolution of governance frameworks and practices across industries and individual companies, thereby enabling them to quickly extract the information they need.
Comment by Erik Abbott (Executive Officer, UB Head of Global Business for Speeda Platform)
We are excited to add this robust source of Japan corporate governance database to our growing library of differentiated Asia content offerings.
The corporate governance landscape in Japan continues to evolve. This data set will benefit a range of clients,(including activist investors, IR departments, quantitative investors, and fundamental analysts,) by making available 15+ years of difficult to obtain corporate governance information on all TSE-listed companies. In addition, we are pleased to be able to provide this insight in both desktop and feed formats.
