DNP Earns Top 'A' Rating in CDP Supplier Engagement Rating for 7th Consecutive Year

Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo; President: Yoshinari Kitajima; hereinafter 'DNP') is engaged in reducing environmental impact across the entire supply chain for its products and services, including the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In recognition of these activities, DNP has been awarded the top 'A' rating in the 'Supplier Engagement Rating' conducted by CDP (Headquarters: London, UK), an international non-profit organization focused on environmental issues, and has been selected for the 'Leader Board' for the seventh consecutive year.

CDP launched this rating in 2017 to evaluate initiatives to reduce GHG emissions and mitigate climate change risks across a company's entire supply chain, as well as efforts to engage and effectively collaborate with suppliers.

DNP strives to reduce environmental impact throughout the lifecycle of its products and services, from raw material procurement to production, distribution, usage, disposal, and recycling. The company promotes sustainability throughout the supply chain by encouraging major suppliers to set GHG emission reduction targets.

DNP remains committed to solving environmental issues such as climate change and delivering new value that realizes a sustainable, better society and a more enriched life.

[DNP's Sustainability Initiatives]

Since establishing an environmental department in 1972, a first in the industry, DNP has worked to realize a sustainable society by developing and providing environmentally conscious products and services.

In March 2020, DNP formulated the 'DNP Group Environmental Vision 2050.' Every employee is encouraged to be highly aware of their environmental impact in all business operations, accelerating activities toward a 'decarbonized society,' 'circular society,' and 'society in harmony with nature.' Regarding a 'decarbonized society,' DNP aims for net-zero GHG emissions from its own business activities by 2050 and to reduce the environmental impact of its products and services. As a medium-term goal, DNP has set an ambitious target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 46.2% by fiscal 2030 compared to fiscal 2019 levels. Additionally, a target has been set to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 27.5% by fiscal 2030 compared to fiscal 2019. These targets are recognized as '1.5°C targets' by the SBTi, with updated certification received in April 2025.

Reflecting these sustainability efforts, in December 2025, DNP was recognized as an 'A-List' company in the 'Climate Change' category for the fourth consecutive year, and in the 'Water Security' category for the second consecutive year, among CDP's three evaluation categories.
