KITZ Corporation has been selected for the FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index. The Index, created by global index and data provider FTSE Russell, is designed as an industry-neutral benchmark. It reflects the performance of Japanese companies that are relatively strong in addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in their respective sectors. In particular, the Index integrates companies with substantial greenhouse gas emissions provided they demonstrate improvement initiatives assessed by the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI)* Management Quality Score, thereby endorsing the shift towards a low-carbon economy.

The FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index is adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world’s largest public pension fund, as an ESG investment target.
