What Happened
Suzuki Motor Corporation has remained a constituent of three ESG investment indexes provided by FTSE Russell: the FTSE4Good Index Series and the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index for the third consecutive year, and the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index for the fifth consecutive year.
- 3 consecutive years
- 5 consecutive years
The indexes are created by FTSE Russell, a wholly owned subsidiary of London Stock Exchange Group, and are designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong ESG practices. Market participants use them to create and assess responsible investment funds and other products. FTSE Russell evaluations are based on performance in areas such as Corporate Governance, Health & Safety, Anti-Corruption and Climate Change.
The FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index is designed as a sector neutral benchmark that reflects the performance of companies demonstrating strong ESG practices in Japan. It supports the climate transition to a low-carbon economy by evaluating companies' efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in addition to their climate governance and climate change initiatives. The FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index and the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index are adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world's largest pension fund, for ESG investments.
Since its founding, Suzuki has grown by providing products and services that meet the diverse needs of customers in different countries and regions, guided by its founding spirit of helping solve customers' needs and challenges. The company says it is committed to sincerely addressing social issues, including respect for human rights, in addition to environmental initiatives. By balancing the resolution of social issues with business growth, Suzuki will pursue the sustainable enhancement of corporate value.
Previously from Suzuki Motor Corporation
Suzuki's continued inclusion in ESG indexes follows recent company milestones reported by MotorClaw. In July, Maruti Suzuki India launched a 1 MWh battery storage system at its Kharkhoda plant to store surplus solar energy and cut CO2 emissions by 54 tons annually. The same month, Suzuki reported record global production and sales for June and the first half of 2026, driven by growth in India and other overseas markets.

Why this matters
Staying in these indexes signals to ESG-focused investors that Suzuki continues to meet environmental, social and governance standards, which can support demand for its shares. The indexes are used to create and assess responsible investment funds, and two of them are adopted by GPIF, the world's largest pension fund, for ESG investments. That keeps Suzuki in the pool of companies eligible for major institutional money.
