OECD が日本の公的年金の年金積立金管理独立行政法人の改革と、ESG運用を要請（FGW)

ＯＥＣＤの提言は昨年１２月に出されましたが、なぜか、日本のマスコミではほとんど報道されていませんので、ここに掲載します。

[Responsible Investor: Jan 14th, 2011] Japan’s giant Government Pension Investment Fund – the world’s largest pool of pension assets at JPY120trn (€1.1trn, $1.4trn) – should integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, according to analysis from researchers at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. They say this would help it keep pace with its peers and diversify its investments.

“The investment policy should consider the fund‘s potential impact on the domestic economy and financial stability and it should integrate environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors,” the report by the OECD’s Fiona Stewart and Juan Yermo states.

It adds: “The GPIF could become a signatory of the UN Principles of Responsible Investment.” The paper’s authors argue the GPIF is “out of step” with its international peers – reserve funds in Canada, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden – in not being a signatory.

Although the OECD does not directly promote socially responsible investing (SRI), the authors say

“such a stance could help the Japanese government meet its targets for increased overseas investment in regions such as Africa”.

The comments come in a working paper entitled Options to Improve the Governance and Investment of Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund.
