📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本ではSSBJによるサステナビリティ開示基準の策定が進んでおり、本稿のEU・英国・米国の比較は日本の開示制度設計に示唆を与える。特に、法的拘束力と市場適応性のバランスは、日本の任意開示から強制開示への移行を検討する上で参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a timely comparison of disclosure regimes that directly parallels the ISSB's global baseline efforts. For jurisdictions like Japan developing SSBJ standards, the contrasts between the EU's mandatory approach and the UK's flexible model provide valuable lessons for designing effective disclosure infrastructure.

📄 Abstract（原文）
In recent years, firms have been paying more attention to the issue of green development and sustainability, so that the concept of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) is gradually central to firms consideration, especially when involved in emissions. This article reviews the key regulatory models of ESG disclosure obligations for comparative analysis, namely through the lenses of the European Union's ("EU") Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed climate-related disclosure rules, and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) mandatory implementation in the United Kingdom. Moreover, this article does not seek to analyze what their interpretive effect would be when reading California's future SB253 and SB261. The findings in this study suggest that the CSRD of the EU is extensive and binding, with robust requirements of assurance, followed by the US, whose approach is still fragmented, considering no federal legislation has been enacted, making compliance almost voluntary. The U.K. approach is obligatory in nature but flexible by blending soft-law elements. The article concludes that legal traditions and regulatory philosophies play a significant role in the formation of ESG disclosure systems, and thereby harmonization will require balancing the extent to which laws are legally enforced with where they are best adapted within the markets, both of which state legislatures can learn from under these Acts.
