GX Future Consortium
In May 2021, we expressed our support for the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which encourages companies to disclose financial information related to climate change, and began disclosing climate-related financial information in accordance with the TCFD framework since fiscal year 2023.
Since fiscal year 2025, we have been disclosing climate-related financial information in accordance with IFRS S2.
In April 2026, we joined the GX Future Consortium, which was reorganized from the TCFD Consortium.
Going forward, we will continue to strive for even more environmentally friendly management and the realization of a sustainable society through enhanced disclosure.

This network was established to enhance the dissemination of information and the exchange of ideas among companies, local governments, and NGOs actively engaged in climate change countermeasures in Japan and aims to realize a decarbonized society. We have been participating in the Japan Climate Initiative since January 2019.
