Japan Corporate Governance Research Institute (JCGR) has been conducting corporate governance surveys for companies listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange since 2002. In this survey, JCGR sends a questionnaire to the CEO of the all listed companies, and evaluates the corporate governance of the responding companies individually based on the returned response. JCGR reports the list of all responding companies and the list of top 50% companies as well as statistics of total responding companies. The Mitsui Life Center provides full support and funding for this study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
