Kawasaki has been selected for the 11th consecutive year for the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific), the Asia Pacific version of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), which is one of the leading indices of ESG (environmental, social and governance) investment.

 

Jointly compiled by S&P Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM, DJSI is a leading ESG index that selects leading sustainability-driven companies in terms of governance and economic, environmental, and social criteria and serves as one of the most important benchmarks to measure corporate sustainability performance for investors who take the ESG initiatives of each company into consideration.

 

Specifically designed for companies in the developed Asia Pacific markets including Japan, the DJSI Asia Pacific annually selects the top 20% among about the 600 invited companies in the region. Kawasaki has also been included in the DJSI Asia Pacific for this year based on the evaluation of our questionnaire responses regarding the ESG performance, and our public information including the integrated report and sustainability report.

 

In addition to DJSI Asia Pacific, Kawasaki has also been included in the FTSE4Good Index, which is also the benchmark ESG index. Furthermore, Kawasaki has been selected as a constituent of FTSE Blossom Japan Index, FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index, MSCI Japan ESG Select Leaders Index, S&P/JPX Carbon Efficient Index, and Morningstar Japan ex-REIT Gender Diversity Tilt Index, these indices were selected by Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world's largest pension fund.
