Evaluation by Society
Glory's Sustainability efforts have earned recognition from various organizations.
Inclusion in ESG Indices
FTSE Blossom Japan Index
In 2020, Glory was selected for the second consecutive year for the FTSE Blossom Japan Index, an ESG investment index developed by FTSE Russell.
The FTSE Blossom Japan Index measures the performance of Japanese companies prominently addressing ESG issues and is an ESG index used by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) as an operation index.
FTSE Russell confirms that Glory has been independently assessed according to the index criteria, and has satisfied the requirements to become a constituent of the FTSE Blossom Japan Index. Created by the global index and data provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE Blossom Japan Index is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The FTSE Blossom Japan Index is used by a wide variety of market participants to create and assess responsible investment funds and other products.
FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index
In 2022, Glory has been included in the FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index.
The FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index is designed as a sector neutral benchmark that reflects the performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices in Japan. The index selects companies with higher ESG Ratings within the top 50% of each sector and supports climate transition to a low carbon economy by evaluating companies’ climate governance and climate change efforts with Transition Pathway Initiative’s Management Quality Score.
