Japan Network
Although relatively small in size, Japan is one of the most actively developing country networks at PRI and it promotes responsible investment by organising regular ESG workshops and conferences. In the last year, the network focused on educating trustees of Japanese pension funds, insurance companies and foundations about the relevance and materiality of ESG integration.
Current working groups include:
- Disclosure Working Group

- Integration Working Group
