Recognized by CDP as an “A List Company,” the highest rating, in both the fields of “Climate Change” and “Water Security,” and selected for inclusion on the “Supplier Engagement Leaderboard,” the highest rating in the “Supplier Engagement Rating”

In FY2023, the efforts of the SHIONOGI Group (”SHIONOGI”) to address climate change and water-related issues continued to be praised by CDP,^*1 an international NPO promoting environmental information disclosure, and we received the highest rating of “A” in both categories of “Climate Change” and “Water Security” for the second consecutive year. In addition, we were selected for the fourth consecutive year for inclusion on the “Supplier Engagement Leaderboard,” which is the highest rating in the CDP’s Supplier Engagement Rating, in the category of “Climate Change.”

Under the Company Policy of SHIONOGI (SHIONOGI Group Heritage) and the SHIONOGI Group Code of Conduct, SHIONOGI has identified “Protect the environment” as one of its material issues (materiality) to be addressed, working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect water resources, decrease flooding risks, and properly manage wastewater to reduce the release of antimicrobials into the environment. We believe that these continuous efforts were highly evaluated, as in the previous fiscal year.
