Named 'Supplier Engagement Leader,' the Highest Rating in CDP 2025 Supplier Engagement Rating

We are pleased to announce that H.U. Group Holdings has been selected as a 'Supplier Engagement Leader,' the highest evaluation in the 2025 Supplier Engagement Rating (SEA) by CDP, an international non-profit organization that promotes environmental information disclosure by companies and municipalities. This is the third time we have been selected, following our selection in 2024.

The 'Supplier Engagement Rating' evaluates how effectively companies collaborate with their suppliers regarding climate change issues. Companies that respond to the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire are scored on their supplier engagement efforts based on responses in five areas: risk management processes, governance, business strategy and goals, Scope 3 emissions, and collaboration with suppliers. Among these, companies that achieve particularly excellent evaluations are selected as 'Supplier Engagement Leaders.'

Our Group is committed to solving social issues through our core business under the mission of 'creating new value in healthcare and contributing to the future of health and medicine.' We will continue to build even better relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, aiming to further enhance corporate value and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
