Corporate Responsibility Print

Nikko AM intends to show leading corporate responsibility by behaving ethically, practicing good corporate governance and treating our employees with respect. Developing and promoting socially responsible investment (SRI) funds has also become a natural and meaningful part of our business. In fact, in 1999, Nikko AM became the first asset manager in Japan to offer an SRI fund; our group now offers a number of strategies with an SRI focus.


But our efforts don’t stop there – as a company which places a high value on environmental and social contribution activities, we also encourage our employees to get involved in the local community through a number of initiatives intended to help enhance the lives of others.
