In November 2021, we endorsed the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and joined the Japan TCFD Consortium. Based on the TCFD recommendations, we will analyze the risks and opportunities posed by climate change to our business, and strive to further enhance information disclosure.

Note: The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) has fulfilled its remit and was disbanded on October 12, 2023. The monitoring function on the progress of companies' climate-related disclosures was handed over to the IFRS Foundation, which is responsible for the formulation of international financial reporting standards.

Since FY2022, we have participated in a questionnaire evaluation by CDP, an international non-profit organization that encourages disclosure of environmental information.
