RepRisk, the world’s leading Data as a Service (DaaS) company specializing in reputational risks and responsible business conduct, announced that its AI-powered data is now integrated into the periodic review process for the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 and the JPX-Nikkei Mid and Small Cap Index. This integration enhances transparency and strengthens global investment standards within these key Japanese stock indices.
RepRisk data used in JPX-Nikkei Index 400 and Mid & Small Cap Index reviews.
Powered by two decades of human-labeled data and AI-driven rules-based methodology.
Supports objective risk assessment, highlighting companies with elevated reputational risk.
Companies with a RepRisk Index (RRI) of 75+ excluded from eligible constituents to ensure quality.
RRI measures actual reputational risk exposure based on public sources, not self-disclosures.
Integrated into major ESG benchmarks like Dow Jones Sustainability Index and FTSE4Good.
RepRisk leverages advanced AI alongside deep human expertise to provide trusted risk insights relative to business conduct topics such as biodiversity, deforestation, human rights, and corruption. This unique combination powers the RepRisk Index (RRI), which quantifies reputational risk exposure dynamically, enabling peer comparisons and trend tracking.
Philipp Aeby, CEO and Co-founder of RepRisk, stated, "We are proud to enable JPX's initiative to promote responsible business conduct and risk transparency by providing our RepRisk Index as an accurate and objective indicator."
Daisuke Tanaka, Director of the Index Business Department at JPX Market Innovation & Research, emphasized the growing importance of corporate social responsibility and the risk of reputation damage, highlighting how the integration of RepRisk’s data improves stock index concepts to reflect companies with strong investor appeal.
As per JPX guidelines, any company exhibiting an RRI of 75 or higher within one year before the index base review date will be excluded from the pool of eligible constituents, reflecting a very high reputational risk. This rules-based 'outside-in' approach draws exclusively from public sources and third-party stakeholders, excluding company self-disclosures for unbiased evaluation.
By incorporating RepRisk’s data, the JPX-Nikkei indices maintain alignment with global investment standards emphasizing capital efficiency and investor-focused management. This fosters greater transparency and confidence for global investors.
