What qualifies a 'good' company these days? How can a company's
impacts on key stakeholders be honestly measured?
Prof. Philip Sugai, Director of the Value Research Center (VRC) at
Doshisha University, Kyoto will share how he and his research team
have integrated and synthesized many of the world's top ESG and
sustainability reporting frameworks into The Value Model, a
goal-based, objective, and transparent model for measuring
stakeholder value at this year's UN General Assembly Science
Summit.
The theme of this year's Science Summit is "The Role of Science and
Innovation in Attaining the United Nations' Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs)." This event brings together scientists, academics,
government leaders and citizens from around the world to
participate in a series of workshops, presentations and
discussions. The 8th annual Science Summit is being held live in
New York and online and it is free to attend.
This presentation is one of seven events hosted by the Okinawa
Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and its co-host, the
Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations.
"Our half-day workshop aims to help move beyond the politics
surrounding discussions around sustainability," said Prof. Sugai.
"Based on an ethical foundation from Japan, we'll define what a
'good' company is, then explore how company impacts on its
stakeholders can be measured and managed, and finally how this kind
of measurement model can be used to develop both practical
regulatory oversight as well as forward-thinking, value-focused
business strategies across developed and developing economies."
Following Prof. Sugai's opening presentation, he and Prof. Toshiya
Hoshino, Director of the ESG Integration Research and Education
Center (ESG-IREC), OSIPP, Osaka University, will discuss how value
measurement and more meaningful ESG reporting can help further
enhance the achievement of SDGs, as well as Japan's unique role and
contribution to these issues.
After this discussion, a panel of experts in Japanese business and
sustainability reporting who have deep experience across academia,
industry, and government policy will dig more deeply into the
essence of value, Japan's historical and current efforts to align
this history with the current challenges addressed by the
achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, and how business can
continue to drive real and measurable achievement of these in a
just and equitable way.
Panel speakers include:
- Prof. Haruko Satoh (Moderator), Co-Director, OSIPP-IAFOR Research
Centre, Osaka University
- Masato Yamazaki, Professor Emeritus of Economics, Aquinas
College
- Yoshie Sugai, Founder and Head Instructor, Chiseikan Dojo
- Trista Bridges, Cofounder & Principal, Author, Read the
Air
- Jin Montesano, Chief People Officer, LIXIL Corporation
- Kumar Iyer, Sustainable Strategy Mentor
The Valuing Value half-day workshop will be held on Monday, Sept 26
from 9:00 - 11:30 EST (22:00 - 00:30 JST).

About the Value Research Center
The Value Research Center (VRC) at Doshisha University in Kyoto,
Japan was established in November 2021. Its mission: develop a
practical system for organizations to measure, monitor, assess and
report on the impacts they have on various stakeholder groups; the
company, its shareholders, employees, customers, partners, society,
and the planet.
The VRC enhances its Value Model continuously, integrating new
frameworks as they're introduced, bringing greater transparency,
objectivity and measurability to value creation - in ways we often
didn't see. The VRC Value Model gives government and industry the
eyes to see impacts they're actually having, and the ability to fix
what's broken and enhance what they're doing well. Learn more at
