*** FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index
Adopted in 2022, this index is designed to be sector-neutral, reflecting the performance of Japanese companies having relatively superior ESG responses within each sector. To promote the transition to a low-carbon economy, the index includes only companies that have demonstrably improved their particularly high greenhouse gas emissions, as demonstrated by their TPI Management Quality Score.
