A quarter‑century ago, environmental disclosure was in its infancy. Today, it’s embedded in decision‑making worldwide. CDP ignited the transformation and business leaders, investors and governments alike soon recognized the benefits of disclosure, turning a niche practice into a global norm.

To mark our 25th anniversary, CDP is hosting a series of awards ceremonies celebrating global leaders in environmental transparency. This milestone is both a moment for reflection and a call to action as we work together to build a future we know is vital and within our reach.

Note, this is an invite-only event with limited capacity. Please register below.

In addition to this event in Japan, we will also be hosting celebrations in Shanghai, Taipei, Seoul, Paris, Istanbul and São Paulo.

What to expect:

An inspiring program spotlighting both leading disclosers and those driving disclosure;
Executive insights on the next 25 years of environmental transparency and action;
Recognition of outstanding organizations and partners shaping our shared future;
Awards ceremony and trophy presentation to A List organizations;
Meet and network with more than 300 peers and high-level representatives from organizations within and across your sectors and industries; and

Looking ahead to 2055, the 100th anniversary of our group's founding, we are taking on the challenge of achieving zero environmental impact under our long-term environmental vision "Challenge ZERO 2055." Aiming to become carbon neutral by 2050, we are promoting climate change measures throughout our supply chain. Furthermore, we are accelerating our efforts to reduce water consumption and promote recycling, as well as achieve zero deforestation through material procurement. By appropriately disclosing our results, issues, and plans, we are enhancing engagement within investors, deepening sustainable management, and increasing corporate value. As a result, we were awarded Triple A. We will continue to promote appropriate and proactive information disclosure with the aim of realizing a sustainable society.

芳井　敬一 (Yoshii Kenichi)

Representative Director and Chairman, CEO Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd.

Regarding the Sekisui House Group's overall environmental strategy, I believe greater momentum and enhanced group collaboration are key management issues, and our information-disclosure efforts led to a second CDP Triple A selection. This year we unified our U.S. group companies into one company; going forward, we aim to merge strengths across all group employees including overseas, and throughout the supply chain to foster innovation. Since Environmental Future Declaration in 1999, Sekisui House has created environmental value through our business. We will share this experience globally and, through dialogue with all stakeholders, pursue systemic impact together.

仲井　嘉浩 (Yoshihiro Nakai)

Representative Director of the Board, CEO President, Executive Officer, Sekisui House, Ltd.

Toyota Tsusho is committed to “passing on a better Earth to the children of the future” as its mission.Toward this end, the company is broadening its perspective from carbon neutrality to nature positive, aiming to create more comprehensive environmental value. We are putting our energy into advancing a circular economy - recovering used materials and turning them back into value through recycling. At the same time, we are expanding businesses that make practical use of renewable energy, including solar and wind power. We also believe that openness matters. By sharing information proactively, we hope to connect with more like‑minded partners, and to keep taking on challenges together. By continuing to refine the strengths that are unique to Toyota Tsusho, we aim to be “a Uniquely Competitive General Trading Company”, and to keep addressing global challenges through our business.

今井　斗志光 (Toshimitsu Imai)

Member of the Board, President & CEO, Toyota Tsusho Corporation
