SAKATA INX CORPORATION (Representative Director, President & CEO: Yoshiaki Ueno) announced that it has received the highest rating of “A” in the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment 2025 (SEA) conducted by the international non-profit organization, CDP. The Company has also been selected as a “Supplier Engagement Leader” for the first time.
The Supplier Engagement Assessment evaluates how effectively companies engage with their suppliers on climate change issues. Based on responses to CDP’s climate change questionnaire, companies are assessed across key areas including governance, greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, Scope 3 management, value chain engagement and others. Organizations achieving the highest rating are recognized as Supplier Engagement Leaders.
The SAKATA INX Group has identified “initiatives to maintain a sustainable the global environment” as one of its material issues and is proactively advancing measures to mitigate climate change and conserve natural resources. The Group’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative. Specifically, the Group aims to reduce CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 58.8% by FY2034 compared to FY2022, and to have 89% of its suppliers (based on emissions from purchased goods and services) to set science-based targets by 2029. Through these initiatives, the Company is working to reduce emissions across its entire supply chain. These continuous efforts are considered to have contributed to its high evaluation in this assessment. We will continue to actively promote environmental impact reduction initiatives and strengthen climate action throughout its value chain, aiming to realize a sustainable society.
