IINO Lines Selected for the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index and the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index for the Fifth Consecutive Year

IINO Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd. (IINO Lines) is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a constituent of the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index*1 and the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index*2 for the fifth consecutive year since 2022.

The FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index and the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index are ESG investment indices developed by FTSE Russell, a member of the London Stock Exchange Group. The indices are composed of Japanese companies that meet FTSE Russell's ESG criteria and are widely used by investors worldwide as benchmarks for ESG investment, including by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), one of the world's largest public pension funds.

As expectations for corporate sustainability continue to grow, we will strengthen sustainability-focused management. In addition to initiatives toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the Company continues to address a wide range of ESG issues through the enhancement of human capital, respect for human rights, and strengthen corporate governance. We believe that these ongoing initiatives have contributed to our continued inclusion in both indices. IINO Lines will continue to promote sustainability initiatives to help realize a sustainable society.
