Japanese companies are prominent among the new entries to the FTSE4Good Index series, which list ethically responsible businesses. Of the 61 newcomers admitted after the latest six-monthly review, 21 are from Japan.
Paul Hoff, managing director of FTSE Asia Pacific, said: 'The rapidly growing number of Japanese companies joining the FTSE4Good series proves that corporate social responsibility is now established as a key issue for Japanese businesses.' Japan now has 183 companies in the series.
The new Japanese companies joining the series are: Aeon Credit Service, Aeon Mall, Aichi Steel, Askul Corporation, Coca-Cola West Japan, Chiyoda, Daiwa House Industry, Dowa Mining, Hamamatsu Photo, Hyakugo Bank, JSAT, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, Mazda Motor, NHK Spring Company, Otsuka, Shinko Electric Industries, Sumisho Lease, Sumitomo Rubber Industries, TIS, Tokai Rika and Yokohama Rubber.
Two companies from Japan have been removed as they no longer meet the entry criteria - Acom and JS Group.
