December 14,2022
-- On December 13, 2022, KDDI received its first climate change A List certification, the highest score possible for advanced environment companies, from international environmental not-for-profit charity CDP [

Established in 2000, CDP is an international non-profit organization whose operations in Japan started in 2005. At the request of institutional investors and others around the world who are highly concerned about environmental issues, CDP urges companies and municipalities to promote environmental initiatives that address such issues as climate change, water resource protection and forest conservation, and to disclose information about these initiatives. It then collects, analyzes and evaluates information on the environmental activities of the worlds major corporations and annually certifies the best companies in terms of climate change initiatives and information disclosure as climate change A List companies. In FY2022, CDP evaluated approximately 18,700 companies, certifying 283 companies (of which 74 were Japanese companies) as A List companies [

KDDIs climate change initiatives KDDI aims to achieve carbon neutrality [

To raise environmental awareness, KDDI also organizes opportunities to raise internal awareness through training on how its own business operations impact the environment to promote employees understanding. It also talks to internal and external stakeholders in an effort to solve environmental issues. As a global company, KDDI will work on steadily reducing environmental impact in all its business operations.

KDDIs sustainability management KDDI promotes sustainability management that brings sustainable growth by incorporating into management strategies a long-term perspective and a social-value perspective, setting six materialities in its Mid-Term Management Strategy (FY2022-2024) to comprehensively cover social issues and the level of importance for KDDI group management from a long-term perspective. Materiality 03 is Carbon neutral and Values we embrace (5), the fifth of the eight values we believe we must provide to society, is also Carbon neutral. Furthermore, we have also set mid-term sustainability targets toward achieving these values. These targets include making over 60% of corporate contracts renewable energy plans and offering next-generation renewable energy solutions by the end of March 2025.
