Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.

The FTSE Blossom Japan Index was created by FTSE Russell, a global index provider, and was designed to measure the performance of companies with outstanding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) handling. As of June 30, 2025, 405 Japanese companies having high ESG scores have been included.
We have been included for three consecutive years, following last year.
We were also included for four consecutive years in the FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index (*1), which was adopted by the GPIF in 2022.
With the impetus of this inclusion, we will further strengthen our ESG initiatives and information disclosure in line with stakeholder expectations, and continue to promote sustainability management that achieves the expansion of both social value and corporate value.
