E-Square Enhances FTSE ESG Evaluation Support with Extensive Experience

Introduction

E-Square, a consulting firm based in Minato, Tokyo, is committed to supporting companies in enhancing their ESG evaluations for over a decade. With the 2026 FTSE ESG evaluation results and the review of the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index constituents scheduled for June, E-Square is amplifying its support to ensure firms improve and maintain their scores effectively.

The Growing Importance of ESG Evaluation

As of June this year, the review of the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index resulted in the inclusion of 77 new companies, showcasing a significant increase from 39 in 2024 and 53 in 2025. This trend indicates a substantial progress in ESG evaluation adoption across Japanese corporations. However, this raises the bar for continuous improvement, as companies are now expected to not only gain entry into the index but also enhance their evaluations consistently post-admission.

E-Square's Proven Track Record

E-Square has supported over 250 companies in improving their FTSE ESG evaluations. This includes a remarkable 76% of firms achieving inclusion in the FTSE JPX Blossom Japan Index within one year of receiving E-Square's assistance. Even upon reaching three years of support, 100% of participating firms have successfully made it into the index. This success is attributed to E-Square's in-depth analysis of evaluation results, identifying gaps, and formulating impactful improvement strategies.

Specific Support Mechanisms

E-Square offers tailored support for companies at various stages of their ESG journey, whether they are aiming for inclusion in the index or are existing members looking to improve their ratings. Among the methods employed, E-Square conducts free consultation sessions to help companies understand the implications of their FTSE ESG evaluation results and identify key areas for improvement.

In the service, they emphasize the importance of effective disclosures and provide practical examples of evaluations and enhancements needed to boost scores.

Continuously Improving Their Approach

The ongoing support provided by E-Square is not just about hitting a target; it involves fostering an ongoing relationship to ensure clients can continually adapt and excel. Companies that participate in the ongoing improvement program include some of the highest-rated firms within their sectors, demonstrating commitment beyond mere compliance.

E-Square believes that addressing evaluation criteria not only helps improve scores but also fosters a deeper involvement by engaging departments within organizations to drive collaborative improvements.

Future Directions and Continuous Learning

In a fast-evolving landscape, E-Square also offers clients a foresight into the potential impact of their improvement strategies through score simulations. This allows firms to prioritize their efforts based on expected outcomes, optimizing the use of their limited resources effectively. By guiding companies through the complex web of ESG evaluations, their consultants ensure that firms can maintain and improve their relative positions within the sector.
