Selected for "Dow Jones Best-in-Class Asia Pacific Index" for Third Consecutive Year as ESG Investment Indicator

ZOZO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director, President and CEO: Kotaro Sawada), which operates the fashion e-commerce platform "ZOZOTOWN," announced on Friday, May 1, 2026, that it has been selected for the "Dow Jones Best-in-Class Asia Pacific Index" (hereinafter, DJBIC Asia Pacific), which consists of companies in the Asia-Pacific region, for the third consecutive year. This index is a global indicator for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investment, part of the "Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices" (hereinafter, DJBICI).

The "DJBICI" is a global ESG investment index published by S&P Dow Jones Indices. It evaluates companies' initiatives from three perspectives—environmental, social, and governance/economic—based on S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), and selects companies with excellent sustainability as constituent stocks.

This time, our company received higher evaluations compared to last year in the categories of "corporate ethics," "packaging," and "climate strategy," leading to our selection for the "DJBIC Asia Pacific," which comprises companies in Japan, Asia, and Oceania, for the third consecutive year.

In addition to "DJBIC," our company has also been continuously selected for all six ESG indices for Japanese stocks adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) (※2).

Since April 2021, our company has been working on sustainable growth and solving environmental and social issues based on our sustainability statement "Connecting with fashion, towards a sustainable future." and "Four Key Initiatives" (※3). We will continue to actively work towards achieving our goals and aim to realize a new fashion world that considers the environment and society.
