Tokyo, Japan (July 15, 2025) — Suntory Holdings proudly announced its inclusion on the global environmental non-profit CDP’s “2024 A List” for climate change, marking the sixth consecutive year of this recognition as Suntory Group. Suntory Group was also selected for the highest rating of “Supplier Engagement Leader” in the CDP’s annual Supplier Engagement Assessment for the fifth consecutive year. Earlier this February, the group was also honored as a CDP Water Security 2024 A List company for the ninth consecutive year (see press release here).

CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the global standard of corporate environmental transparency. More than 24,800 companies responded to CDP’s request to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through its platform.

To achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, Suntory Group aims to reduce GHG emissions in its direct operations by 50%*¹ and across the entire value chain by 30%*¹ by 2030, and promotes various initiatives across its global business. Most recently, Suntory Group announced “Suntory Green Hydrogen^*2 Vision,” the group’s mid- to long-term plan for utilizing hydrogen, an essential element for the group to achieve its 2050 net zero GHG emissions target (see press release here).

Suntory Group believes that its approach to tackling climate change globally, including its GHG emissions reduction targets, Scope 3 emissions data gathering, and various collaborations with suppliers, contributed to its recognition as both CDP’s “2024 A List” for climate change and “Supplier Engagement Leader”.
