CDP conducts Supplier Engagement Rating on climate change questionnaires related to supplier engagement, including governance, reduction targets, Greenhouse Gas ("GHG") Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement. In fiscal year 2022, approximately 600 companies, representing the top 8% of respondents to climate change questionnaire, were selected as Supplier Engagement Leaders.

Our group has set a target*2 of reducing GHG Scope3 emissions 13.5% by FY2030 from FY2019 base year. To achieve this target, various initiatives are being promoted globally under our mid- to long-term sustainability plan, Sustainability 2030. We were selected as a model company for the Ministry of the Environment's "decarbonization promotion project" and have been studying measures to reduce Scope 3 emissions.
