Yokohama Rubber included in FTSE4Good Index Series for 18th consecutive year

For the 18th year in a row, The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. has been included in the global stock index FTSE4Good Index Series, an achievement it says “reconfirms that the company’s ESG activities and disclosure practices meet the highest global standards.” The tyre, wheel and rubber products maker has also been selected to the FTSE Blossom Japan Index for the sixth straight year.

The FTSE4Good Index Series and FTSE Blossom Japan Index are two of the many indexes developed and maintained by global index provider FTSE Russell. The former is used by investors around the world as a benchmark index for their ESG-focused investments. The FTSE Blossom Japan Index was established as an industry-neutral index that reflects the performance of Japanese companies that demonstrate strong ESG practices. It is one of four general ESG indexes selected by Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) to guide its ESG investments.
