Onward Group Disclosure of information in line with TCFD recommendations

The Onward Group promotes sustainable management in harmony with the earth based on our mission
statement, "Enriching and adding color to people’s lives while caring for the planet" an important theme that
forms the basis of our corporate activities.
Recognizing that environmental issues, particularly climate change, have become increasingly serious
around the world in recent years, they are top priority in our group’s business activities, and in 2022 weendorsed the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
We will continue to proactively address climate change and disclose information in order to coexist with theearth and promote business activities that are connected with the future.
Governance

The Group has been running a Sustainability Committee, headedby the President and CEO, to promote specific sustainability
initiatives since 2021.
The committee members consist of the presidents and personnel
responsible for sustainability of each group company to promote
information-sharing and progress management on climate changeissues across the entire group.

Risk management
The issue of climate change poses various risks to our group, but we believe that managing these risks
in advance and responding appropriately to them will also provide opportunities for sustainable growth inour business activities.
The Sustainability Committee takes the lead in analyzing in detail how climate change affects ourbusiness activities, sharing risks with each group company, and considering and promoting initiatives.

Strategy
The Group identifies the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to its business activities andconducts scenario analyses of how to respond to these risks and opportunities. Referring to therecommendations of the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), the scenario analysis assumed two worlds: one in which the world steadily implements
climate change measures and a temperature rise is limited to less than 2°C, and the other in which
temperatures rise 4°C or more due to insufficient measures.
Using 2030 as a baseline, we analyzed the impact of policies, regulations, technologies, markets, andreputations on business in the process of achieving this in the below 2°C scenario, and the impact ofacute and chronic changes in weather conditions and disasters associated with rising temperatures in the4°C scenario.
