External evaluations and awards

Inclusion in ESG indexes

AISIN is rated highly by ESG evaluation bodies around the world and has been selected as a composition of ESG indexes both in Japan and overseas (as of September 2020).

We are working to strengthen our ESG activities even further based on each evaluation index.
