Disclosure of Environmental Data to CDP
Kioxia Group applies for, and receives, certification from the CDP, the world's largest environmental information evaluation organization, every year.
CDP Climate Change
This evaluates the risks and opportunities posed to a company by climate change, and the concrete action it has taken to address these. In FY2023, we were rated “B” in the category of management of these risks.

The CDP is an international not-for-profit organization established in 2000 to tackle environmental issues, including climate change and water risks. It collects information from major companies around the world using questionnaires on the subject of management risks that climate change and other environmental issues pose to companies, and it rates them on an 8-point scale from A to D− (A is the highest grade) based on the responses received. In 2023, approximately 23,000 companies disclosed information through the CDP.
