Goldwin Receives Top Rating in 'CDP Supplier Engagement Rating' for the First Time

Goldwin Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director, President & CEO: Takao Watanabe) has been named a 'Supplier Engagement Leader'—the highest rating—in the 2025 'Supplier Engagement Rating' (SEA) by CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), an international non-profit organization that promotes the disclosure of environmental information.

The SEA evaluates how effectively companies collaborate with their suppliers to address climate change issues across their entire supply chain, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing climate-related risks. Companies that achieve the highest rating are designated as 'Supplier Engagement Leaders.'
Furthermore, Goldwin was awarded an 'A-' score—considered at the leadership level—in the Climate Change category and a 'B' score—considered at the management level—in the Water Security category, as announced by CDP in January 2026.

As part of its material development, independent of petroleum-derived resources, Goldwin is collaborating with Spiber Inc. to develop products using 'Brewed Protein™' fiber, which is derived from plant-based biomass. The company is building a co-creation framework with material manufacturers and its supply chain to expand these efforts. In addition, for certain products, Goldwin calculates the carbon footprint across the entire product lifecycle—from raw material procurement to disposal—thereby visualizing greenhouse gas emissions. The company is also implementing initiatives to reduce the environmental impact across its entire supply chain in partnership with its suppliers.
