“As VBA, we are delighted to see the impact movement gaining strong momentum in Japan. We congratulate ABeam on the successful establishment of the Impact Value Consortium and the publication of your first Insight. As the understanding of value creation is closely linked to societal and ethical perspectives, we strongly support the contextualization of methodologies and their practical implementation in specific market environments. Staying closely connected to the global movement is essential—particularly for internationally operating businesses and integrated economies. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with the Japanese business community—and with ABeam in particular—to help make impact and value accounting the new standard for measuring corporate value creation.”
