TOKYO -- Some of Japan's largest companies will get investors' judgment on their climate goals at a string of shareholder meetings in the coming days as the push for greater action from the corporate sector expands beyond environmental campaigners.
Five major companies -- three power utilities and two financial groups -- face votes calling for new information or tougher targets on carbon emissions. One of the proposals has been submitted by individual investors, in a first for Japan. Another has been submitted by foreign asset managers -- also a first.
