The FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index has been selected as one of the indices for ESG investment by the Pension Fund Investment Fund (GPIF), the world's largest institutional investor.

The index selects companies with higher ESG Ratings within the top 50% of each sector and supports climate transition to a low carbon economy by evaluating companies’ climate governance and climate change efforts via the Transition Pathway Initiative’s Management Quality Score.
