April 7, 2022

UBE Corporation (President: Masato Izumihara) has been selected as a constituent stock of the FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index.

The FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index, developed by Global Index Provider FTSE Russel, is designed to measure the performance of Japanese companies that have relatively strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in individual industries or sectors. This index is constructed so that industry or sector weights align with the Japanese equity market. In addition, this index supports the transition to a low carbon economy by selecting companies with high GHG emissions as constituent stocks only if they have achieved a reduction in GHG emissions based on the TPI Management Quality Score.

We will continue to create the values required for a sustainable society and achieve sustainable growth as a global company that contributes to global environmental issues, human life and health, and the prosperity of future society.
