aiESG Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Representative Director: Shunsuke Managi, hereinafter "aiESG") has begun offering "aiESG for CDP," a CDP answer support tool that dramatically evolves companies' CDP response operations, starting June 30, 2026. ■ Background of Development: Response Operations and Tight Schedules Burdening Staff The 2026 survey will allow access to questions from mid-June, requiring a response within a short period of a few months until the scoring deadline of September 14.
