## About Sustainability Information Disclosure Support Cloud "SmartESG"
"SmartESG" is a data platform that centrally manages dispersed corporate sustainability and ESG data, supporting strategic sustainability management. The four core functions of "SmartESG" streamline sustainability information disclosure operations and enable advanced analysis. "Database" and "Workflow" visualize the collection and management of internal data that tends to be siloed, while "Focus" and "Benchmark" provide advanced AI-powered analysis. "SmartESG" contributes not only to the advancement of corporate information disclosure and the strengthening of stakeholder engagement but also to accelerating the formulation and execution of sustainable management strategies. Since its launch in November 2022, it has been adopted by over 70 major companies, accounting for approximately 15% of companies with a market capitalization exceeding 500 billion yen. The cumulative market capitalization of adopting companies has exceeded 200 trillion yen (as of August 2025).
