In recent years, along with the growing interest in the disclosure of non-financial information such as environmental, social, human capital, and biodiversity information, there has been an intense movement toward related frameworks and standards.

The term "alphabet soup" is a figurative expression used to describe the abundance of abbreviations and acronyms, and has come to be used to refer to non-financial information-related situations due to the heavy use of the alphabet in ESG and sustainability-related frameworks, standards and regulations.

In this issue, we have published a commentary article on the alphabet soup of sustainability-related frameworks and standards. This article introduces the main frameworks and standards that have been published to date and the movement toward their unification.

We hope that this article will help you to better understand the situation. Please take a moment to read it.
