TAIYO YUDEN Continues to be Listed in All Six ESG Indices Adopted by GPIF

TOKYO, August 4, 2025 - TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. is honored to announce that it has again been selected as a constituent of all six ESG indices for Japanese equities adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF).

Background
In its Medium-term Management Plan 2025, the TAIYO YUDEN Group includes enhancement of its climate change countermeasures in its materiality (material issues), aiming to enhance its corporate value through the combination of economic and social value.
For reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in particular, we have set reduction targets to achieve by FY2030 based on emissions category―42 % (compared to FY2020) for Scopes 1 and 2 and 25% (compared to FY2021) for Scope 3 (Category 1 and 3) ; and for all of them, we have obtained SBT certification. Especially to accelerate efforts regarding Scope 3, which represents indirect emissions that occur outside of the company's direct control but throughout its supply chain, we are enhancing our approach to suppliers, chiefly by encouraging them to step up reduction efforts and providing support with emissions calculations.
We accelerate efforts to increase social values by laying out numerical targets for ESG issues. Moreover, the Company has enhanced its related activities by fostering engagement activities for stakeholders, including shareholders, clients, and society, and promoting information disclosure on its website and through integrated reports.
We will continue to contribute to a sustainable society and strive to further enhance its corporate value.
