Approach to Information Disclosure

Editorial Policy of Our Sustainability Website
In order to achieve sustainable growth, the Kawasaki Group proactively discloses information regarding sustainability, thereby fulfilling its accountability duties to its stakeholders and addressing its communications.
At our website, we disclose comprehensively and in detail the Kawasaki Group's basic stance and policies with regard to the environment (E), society (S), and governance (G), along with our management structure and the results of our activities.
Furthermore, with the goal of collecting all ESG information in one place for disclosure to our stakeholders, since fiscal 2022 we have published our annual Kawasaki Sustainability Report. This replaces our previously issued the Kawasaki Environmental Report and the Kawasaki ESG Data Book, and brings together the ESG information posted to our website in a PDF file.
Boundary of Reports
As a general rule, the reports cover the Kawasaki Group (Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. and consolidated subsidiaries). Some parts of the reports may cover only Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (non-consolidated) or another specific boundary, in which case the specific boundary of the report is stated explicitly.
Reporting Period
The report primarily includes information on activities carried out during fiscal 2023 (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024). It also includes information on past activities and activities carried out on or after April 1, 2024, as well as activities planned for the future. The information posted on the website will be updated from time to time to report on the latest activities.
Numerical Figures
Due to rounding, numerical totals do not necessarily agree with the sum of the corresponding individual amounts presented herein.
Third-Party Assurance
To ensure the reliability of the reported information concerning ESG data, when it comes to environmental and social performance indicators, we receive third-party assurances in compliance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board from KPMG AZSA Sustainability Co., Ltd. The performance data covered by the assurances is marked with a star (★).
