 (*) Nikkei Integrated Report Awards
Held annually by Nikkei Inc. since 1998, the Nikkei Annual Report Awards aim to further enhance and promote annual reports published by Japanese companies.
In recent years, annual reports have evolved into integrated documents that explain a company’s corporate value and incorporate both financial and non-financial information, such as ESG-related goals and initiatives. In light of these changes, the Nikkei Annual Report Award was renamed the Nikkei Integrated Report Award in 2021. In addition to introducing an expanded, multi-tiered judging system, Nikkei Inc. has also restructured and improved its awards framework.
