Shiseido Awarded Double A List Recognition from CDP for Second Consecutive Years

Shiseido has been recognized by the global environmental non-profit CDP for leadership in transparency and performance in the categories of Climate Change and Water Security and has been selected as an A-List company for the fiscal year 2025. For the second consecutive year, Shiseido has achieved an A rating in both categories, marking the fourth consecutive year of selection for Climate Change and the second consecutive year for Water Security.

Following its corporate mission of BEAUTY INNOVATIONS FOR A BETTER WORLD, Shiseido has integrated sustainability into its corporate strategy and is advancing company-wide initiatives to create social value through its core business while addressing social and environmental issues.
For climate change, Shiseido has established its Environmental Policy as a prerequisite for solving environmental issues and is promoting initiatives to reduce environmental footprint across its entire value chain. Moving ahead toward 2030, Shiseido has set CO₂ emission reduction targets (Science Based Targets) for scopes 1, 2, and 3*1, certified by SBTi*2, and aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. In addition, the company is working toward switching to 100% renewable electricity for business operations, accelerating the transition to renewable electricity at domestic and global sites.
For water security, while setting water resource reduction targets moving ahead toward 2030, based on the LEAP approach*3, Shiseido has identified quantitative long-term risks and opportunities related to biodiversity loss and dynamic states of water resources at production sites. The company has established management systems tailored to the risks of each site and is promoting sustainable water resource management, including initiatives to address region-specific risks such as water shortages and floods. Details of these analyses and initiatives, and the results, are disclosed in the Shiseido Climate/Nature-Related Financial Disclosure Report*4.
