Dexerials selected as a Constituent of FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index

Dexerials Corporation (Headquarters: Shimotsuke-shi, Tochigi, Representative Director and President: Yoshihisa
Shinya, hereinafter, “Dexerials”), which provides leading-edge technologies, materials, and devices for smartphones,
automotives, and other products, announced that it has been selected to as a constituent of “FTSE Blossom Japan
Sector Relative Index”, an index that reflects the performance of Japanese companies that demonstrate relatively
excellent ESG performance in their respective sectors.




The index was developed by global index provider FTSE Russell*1, and is designed to be a sector-neutral index
(stock index) that reflects the performance of Japanese companies that excel in environmental, social and governance
(ESG) action in their respective sectors. Additionally, to encourage the shift to a low-carbon economy, for companies
with particularly large greenhouse gas emissions, only the companies evaluated for their improvement efforts
according to the TPI Management Quality Score*2 are included. The index is extensively used by investors around
the world who focus on companies’ ESG commitment and is considered as an important criterion for judgment. It is
also used as an index for the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), one of the world’s largest pension funds,
to make ESG investment.


Based on its materialities, strategies and policies, the Dexerials Group pursues systematic initiatives to help solve
social issues and realize a sustainable society through business activities. Achieving sustainable growth in a rapidly
changing business environment is not possible without strengthening non-financial capital and intangible assets. With
this in mind, we have implemented measures to invest in human capital, the source of our competitiveness. These
measures include the provision of stocks based on an employee stock ownership plan (J-ESOP) and the introduction
of a job-type personnel system, among other things. Further, Sustainability Promotion Division was established in
April 2023 and Dexerials Group companies will come together to promote sustainability initiatives.
Moving forward, we will remain committed to achieving a sustainable society and enhancing our corporate value
by offering the unique value of Dexerials.
