SEKISUI recognised by CDP with double A score for Climate Change and Water Security, and A- score for Forests

CDP is an international non-profit organization that drives companies and governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water resources, and protect forests. CDP operates the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system and assesses thousands of companies each year. 

CDP collects and assesses this data and scores companies from A to D- based on how they are tackling climate change, deforestation and water security. In 2025, nearly 20,000 companies were scored, out of more than 22,100 reporting through CDP’s platform. Achieving an ‘A’ places SEKISUI CHEMICAL among the global leaders demonstrating comprehensive disclosure, mature environmental governance, and meaningful progress towards environmental resilience.

CDP’s scoring draws on a rigorous and independent methodology, aligned with the TCFD* framework. It evaluates companies’ depth of reporting, understanding of environmental risks, and evidence of best practice - including ambitious target-setting and verified action. CDP maintains the world’s largest repository of environmental information and is widely relied on to guide investment and procurement decisions that support a net-zero, sustainable and earth-positive global economy. In 2025, 640 investors with $127 trillion in assets asked CDP to collect data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities.

SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group continues to follow its long-term vision "Vision 2030" and its vision statement titled "Innovation for the Earth". In order to realize sustainable society, we support the basis of LIFE and will continue to create “peace of mind for the future”’. In order to achieve this vision statement, the Group plans to expand contributions toward resolving social issues through “business growth, reform and creation centered on ESG management.”

In 2020, the SEKISUI Environment Sustainability Vision 2050 was formulated to refine the Group's direction in addressing environmental issues with a view of 2050.

In dealing with climate change issues, the goal is to build a decarbonized society. SEKISUI CHEMICAL has set a long-term target of zero greenhouse gas emission from business activities by 2050, and aims to switch to 100% renewable energy for purchased electricity by 2030 based on backcasting.

In the area of resolving water risk issues, the SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group plans to minimize the impact of water risk on the Group in order to ensure sustainable business operation as well as minimize the water risk caused by the Group in order to preserve biodiversity. Through such activities, the Group intends to generate positive return on the natural capital used in its business activities by contributing toward resolving local water issues through products to enhance sustainability and collaboration with the parties in watersheds where our sites are located. 

* TCFD: The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures was established in 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which is an international organization that seeks to stabilize the financial system. It recommended that companies disclose information on the financial risks and opportunities related to climate change across four core elements: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets.
