ESPEC CORP. (Head office: Kita-ku Osaka City, President: Satoshi Arata) has continued to be included in the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index, an ESG index.

The FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index is designed as a sector neutral benchmark that reflects the performance of companies demonstrating specific Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices in Japan. The index selects companies with higher ESG Ratings within the top 50% of each sector and supports climate transition to a low carbon economy by evaluating companies' climate governance and climate change efforts via the Transition Pathway Initiative's Management Quality Score.  

This index has been adopted by Government Pension Investment Funds (GPIF) as an index for ESG, and is one of the most widely known indexes for ESG investment.

We will continue working to contribute to solving environmental problems and societal problems through our business, based on our company's corporate philosophy (THE ESPEC MIND).
