Only 15 companies have submitted English language Corporate Governance Reports to the TSE in the past 12 months…even though the CG Code asks companies with many foreign investors to consider that. We need significantly more than 15. Boys be [more] ambitious! But recently I was able to convince the TSE to at least make a list of the companies that DO have English reports, so that we can single them out for praise. You can find the list on a downloadable Excel file on this page.
