CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standardof corporate environmental transparency. CDP has the richest and most comprehensive dataset on
corporate behavior and has garnered the highest level of trust as a result of their unique disclosure
process and methodology. In 2022, over 680 investors with over US$130 trillion in assets and 280
major purchasers with US$6.4 trillion in procurement spend requested companies to disclose data on
environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP’s platform. A record-breaking 18,700
companies responded.

environmental risks and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership,such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets. Those that don’t disclose or provided insufficient
information are scored an F.
Sekisui House is involved in many initiatives that work to slow climate change. We participate in SBT
and other international decarbonization initiatives, have established a governance structure anddisclose information on climate change risks and opportunities in line with the TCFD framework, andalso participate in the Global ABC, a global alliance for decarbonization in the building andconstruction sector.
We are also working towards the decarbonization of housing. In Japan, 92% of newly-built Sekisui
House detached houses were zero-energy houses (ZEH) in FY2021, and the total number of zeroenergy rental homes we have built exceeded 20,000 (as of the end of October 2022). We are also
promoting zero-energy in condominiums for sale, and plan to make all units sold after 2023 zeroenergy.
In decarbonizing our entire supply chain, we have begun working with our suppliers to achieve an
80% SBT target rate among major suppliers by 2030.
To prevent deforestation, we have been promoting urban nature positivity through the developmentof our own Wood Procurement Guidelines and the implementation since 2001 of our Gohon No Ki
ecosystem-friendly landscaping and greening project. As a leading environmental company, we willcontinue to actively disclose information in line with the guidelines of the Task Force on Naturerelated Financial Disclosure (TNFD), which discloses risks and opportunities in the use of naturalcapital.
Sekisui House aims to be a leading company in ESG management based on our global vision to makehome the happiest place in the world. We will continue to promote these environmental measuresand contribute to building a sustainable society.
Dexter Galvin, Global Director of Corporations and Supply Chains at CDP said:“Congratulations to all the companies on this year’s A List; environmental transparency is the firstvital step towards a net-zero and nature-positive future. In a year of ever-increasing environmental
concerns around the world – from extreme weather to unprecedented losses to nature – the need fortransformational, urgent and collaborative change is more critical than ever. We must decarbonize
half of global GHG emissions and eliminate deforestation by 2030, alongside achieving water security
on the same timescale – there is no route to 1.5°C without nature. As CDP continues to raise the baron what qualifies as climate, forests and water leadership, we hope to see the ambitions and actionsof companies on the A List – and those wanting a place on it – do the same.”
