　Designed by FTSE Russell, which is a part of the London Stock Exchange Group, this ESG index is composed of Japanese companies from various industries deemed to be relatively proactive in their initiatives against climate change and other issues.

Up until today, all the companies in the group have joined forces to contribute to society through numerous undertakings such as the charity program “24-Hour Television” and “Good for the Planet” campaign, both held annually. Bolstering our endeavors going forward, we will advance the six material issues of (1) Contribute to the Protection of the Environment; (2) Create a Healthy and Creative Workplace; (3) Diverse Workforce that Thrives and Coexists; (4) Deliver Information that Enriches the Future; (5) Support for a Comfortable Lifestyle; and (6) Strict Legal Compliance and Governance as we pursue ESG responses that are worthy of the Prime Market segment of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, to which the Company has been selected for transfer effective today.
