## Understanding Japanese Corporate Governance and Shareholder Meetings

Japan’s corporate governance landscape has evolved significantly from a traditionally management-centric model to one increasingly focused on transparency and shareholder engagement.

This webinar offers global investors a practical overview of the fundamentals of Japanese corporate governance. 

 In this session, our panelists covered: 

- A brief comparison of governance practices before and after the Corporate Governance Code.
- Key factors shaping Japan’s governance landscape – and the challenges global investors still face, including board independence, capital efficiency, and shareholder rights.
- Recent trends, including rising shareholder activism and changing AGM practices.
- What’s next: how Japan’s governance framework is expected to develop.
