Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While sustainable management is attracting attention worldwide, certified B Corporation is considered be a highly transparent certification system. However, it is difficult for listed company to become certified B Corporation . Therefore, in this research, I pointed out that it is useful to use B Impact Assessment. I also concluded that the introduction of the benefit corporation system into Japanese Companies Act was unnecessary, but pointed out that there was room for reconsideration of the role of Japanese Companies Act.
