Pigeon Corporation (Head Office: Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Ryo Yano) has, for the first time, received an "A-" (leadership level) rating from CDP, an international non-profit organization, for its efforts and disclosures regarding "Climate Change" in fiscal year 2025. Additionally, in the "Water Security" field, for which the company newly began responding in fiscal year 2025, it received a "B" (management level) rating.

**[About CDP]** CDP is a non-profit organization that aims to promote environmental measures by requesting companies and local governments to disclose information on environmental issues such as climate change countermeasures, water resource protection, and forest conservation, based on requests from institutional investors and others with a high interest in environmental issues.

**[Pigeon's Initiatives]** The Pigeon Group has identified "reducing environmental impact" as one of its material issues and formulated the "Pigeon Green Action Plan" in 2022 as an activity plan to leave a rich earth for the future of babies born tomorrow. Among our medium- to long-term goals for realizing a sustainable society (realization of a decarbonized society, a circular resource society, and a nature-symbiotic society), the 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target has been certified as a short-term SBT (science-based targets) by the SBT Initiative (SBTi)*1, as a target based on scientific evidence consistent with the target level set by the Paris Agreement.

We, the Pigeon Group, will continue to promote initiatives towards achieving our goals to leave a rich earth for the future of babies born tomorrow.

*1 SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) is jointly operated by four organizations: CDP, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the We Mean Business Coalition, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It promotes the setting of science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for companies to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
