Comment from the person in charge at ST Corporation

The demand for sustainability information disclosure is increasing year by year, and there is a need to ensure reliability and expedite disclosure. In response to these demands, and in order to properly manage environmental indicators such as GHGs, we considered introducing a new tool and ultimately decided to implement "booost GX".

We selected this tool with a wide range of applications in mind, including the immediate challenge of calculating Scope 3 emissions and the future comprehensive management of ESG indicators. The track record of "booost GX," its future potential for feature expansion, and the flexible and courteous response of the person in charge were the deciding factors in our selection. Going forward, we will use "booost GX" to promote GHG management in our supply chain and work even harder towards achieving carbon zero.
