Komatsu Wall Achieves Top 'A' Score in CDP Supplier Engagement Rating

Komatsu Wall Industry Co., Ltd. has been awarded the highest 'A' score in the 2025 Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) by CDP, the international non-profit organization that operates the global environmental disclosure system.

This recognition validates the company's supply chain decarbonization efforts as being at a globally advanced 'leadership level.' The achievement reflects continuous efforts in decarbonization and water resource conservation. Moving forward, the company will further pursue the 'variability' inherent in its partition products to reduce 'scrap and build' waste, contributing to the construction of sustainable social infrastructure.

What is the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA)? SEA is an index that evaluates how companies work with suppliers to manage climate change risks across the entire supply chain. It consists of five categories: Risk Management Processes, Governance and Business Strategy, Supplier Engagement, Scope 3 Emissions, and Targets. Companies achieving the 'A' score are recognized as 'Supplier Engagement Leaders' and are highlighted for their high contribution to realizing carbon neutrality.

Key Initiatives Behind the 'A' Score: Komatsu Wall emphasizes the harmony between corporate activities and environmental protection, strengthening collaboration with suppliers through five processes:

1. Promoting Supplier Emission Tracking: Conducting regular surveys to understand the greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy adoption of each supplier. 2. Sharing Reduction Targets based on SBT: Sharing company reduction targets based on Science Based Targets (SBT) certification to align goals with suppliers. 3. Providing Practical Information and Collaboration: Strengthening 'hands-on' support through info-sharing and study sessions, leveraging internal expertise. 4. Managing High-Accuracy Scope 3 Data with Third-Party Assurance: Ensuring reliability of Scope 3 emission data through third-party audits. 5. Prioritizing Eco-friendly Procurement and ESG Criteria: Promoting green procurement and integrating ESG evaluation items into purchasing standards.

Driving Environmental Management: This top rating serves as a turning point in establishing competitive strength. The company will leverage this to increase trust among general contractors and design offices, and enhance competitive advantage in sales and bidding, including public projects using the 'comprehensive evaluation bidding system' promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
