ZIGExN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, Operating Officer, and CEO: Joe Hirao; Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime: 3679),　is pleased to announce the release of its ESG Data Book 2025.

In 2021, marking the 15th anniversary of its founding, the Group established the purpose, “Update Your Story — For a Better Future,” and announced the 2nd medium-term management plan, “Z CORE.” Since then, the Group has placed great importance on co-creating value with stakeholders as a foundation for sustainable growth, while continuously enhancing the visibility of its sustainability initiatives and related disclosures.

In response to the growing interest in sustainability initiatives aimed at enhancing corporate value and the increasing importance of expanded information disclosure, the Company began publishing the ESG Data Book last fiscal year. This year, following the inaugural edition, the Company has released the ESG Data Book 2025. The Data Book systematically consolidates the Company’s initiatives and performance data related to ESG—Environment, Social, and Governance—and will further strengthen ongoing dialogue with stakeholders who have an interest in ESG investment.

The main updates from the FY 2025/3 edition (published last fiscal year) are as follows:

・E Section: In addition to further category-level disclosures for Scope 3, new content has been added regarding the achievement of effective carbon neutrality through the use of non-fossil certificates.
・S Section: To enhance alignment with the evaluation items and criteria of major ESG rating agencies, the overall structure has been redefined. Furthermore, information related to “Engagement” and “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)” has been expanded from last year.
・G Section: Explanations of the governance structure—including corporate ethics and compliance—have been strengthened, and a new risk assessment and response matrix for the entire Group has been added.

■Main Structure of the ESG Data Book 2025

• ZIGExN Group’s approach to sustainability
• Initiatives on Environment (conservation and climate change measures)
• Initiatives on Social (human capital, diversity, respect for human rights, and information security)
• Initiatives on Governance (corporate governance, compliance, and risk management)
• Performance data

The Group, guided by its corporate philosophy of “Maximizing Life Opportunities,” recognizes addressing social issues as a key management priority, and, as a publicly listed company on the Prime Market and a public institution of society, contributes to the realization of a sustainable society.

In addition, to promote more transparent information sharing with stakeholders, the content of the “M&A / Partnerships” page (https://zigexn.co.jp/ma/) on the corporate website has been updated, expanding the disclosed information.

Going forward, in addition to communicating the Group’s approach and initiatives regarding ESG through the ESG Data Book, the Company will continue to enhance various disclosures, further expand opportunities for dialogue with stakeholders, and strive to enhance sustainable corporate value.
