Tokyo, Japan (July 31, 2025) — Suntory Group today published its integrated disclosure of nature- and climate- related information based on the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The information is available on the company’s sustainability website: https://www.suntory.com/csr/env_tcfd/.

In recent years, efforts to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, known as “Nature Positive” initiatives, have grown in importance as a global sustainability trend. This was underscored by the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD-COP15) held in 2022. Moreover, as businesses depend on natural capital for activities such as raw ingredient procurement and factory operations, advancing Nature Positive initiatives is also essential from a business continuity perspective.

As a global, multifaceted beverage company, Suntory Group recognizes the importance of implementing comprehensive, science-based measures to contribute more effectively to deeply interconnected environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, water security, and resource circulation.

In 2019, Suntory Group began disclosing climate-related information based on the TCFD recommendations. In 2023, Suntory Holdings also participated – as the only Japanese company – in the pilot testing of corporate guidance on nature conservation developed by the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN). The Group utilized the analysis from this initiative to conduct trial disclosures aligned with the TNFD recommendations.

This integrated disclosure, based on TNFD and TCFD recommendations, addresses Suntory Group’s material issues – water, climate action, containers and packaging, raw ingredients, and human rights – under the four pillars of Governance, Strategy, Managing Risks and Impacts, and Indicators and Targets.

Key highlights of the integrated disclosure:
1. Analysis and evaluation of dependencies and impacts on nature across the entire value chain
2. Risk and opportunity assessment based on scenario development and analysis related to climate change and nature
3. Activities related to water, climate action, containers and packaging, and raw ingredients, structured in accordance with the Climate Transition Plan and Nature Transition Plan frameworks
4. Clear articulation of contributions toward achieving the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework 

Suntory Group’s purpose is to inspire the brilliance of life, by creating rich experiences for people, in harmony with nature. Since its founding, the Group has been committed to contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. As a company sustained by the gifts of nature and water, the Group will continue to advance sustainability management aligned with globally recognized, science-based standards.
