Recognition Highlights AESC's Leadership in Sustainable Battery Manufacturing
TOKYO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AESC, a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage battery technology, announced that it had received an A- rating for climate change from CDP, the highest score achieved by any global lithium battery manufacturer in the 2025 reporting cycle.
CDP runs one of the world's leading environmental disclosure systems for companies. Its assessments are widely referenced by investors, regulators, and customers in evaluating ESG performance and supply chain standards. Of the more than 22,100 companies assessed in CDP's 2025 Climate Change reporting cycle, just 10% achieved an A- rating or higher. AESC's A- rating reflects the company's robust and transparent carbon management framework, as well as its continued progress in battery decarbonization.
AESC embeds emissions reduction targets into business decision-making and day-to-day global operations. The company has built strong capabilities in carbon footprint management, renewable energy adoption, and industrial decarbonization.
For carbon footprint management, AESC aligns its global operations with the EU Battery Regulation and other international compliance requirements. The company has established a systematic carbon footprint management framework, developed an enterprise-wide emissions factor database based on internationally recognized methodologies, and worked with upstream suppliers to strengthen carbon data modeling and management.
In renewable energy and decarbonization, AESC has achieved several industry milestones. In 2022, it became the world's first battery manufacturer to achieve carbon neutrality across its global operations (Scope 1 and 2), verified by the Carbon Trust, and launched the industry's first carbon-neutral EV battery in 2022 and carbon-neutral energy storage battery in 2023. Across its global manufacturing network, AESC continues to optimize operations to reduce energy use and lower carbon emissions through a wide range of on-site energy-saving upgrades, including temperature and humidity control upgrades, smart sensor installations on production lines, and leftover heat and water reuse to cut energy waste. At the same time, the company works closely with key suppliers to advance emissions reduction across the value chain.
Through these efforts, AESC has developed a practical and scalable decarbonization pathway for the global lithium battery industry. The CDP A- rating further strengthens AESC's position as a sustainability leader as it works with customers and partners worldwide to support a more sustainable battery ecosystem.

AESC Earns CDP Climate Change A- Rating, Highest Among Global Battery Manufacturers in 2025
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform, today celebrates brand ambassador Adam Scott as he makes his 100th consecutive major championship appearance at the U.S. Open, on June 18, 2026, at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. Scott becomes just the second player in golf history to reach this milestone.
Over more than two decades, Scott has qualified for and competed in every major championship on the calendar without interruption. It is a record built on sustained excellence, and one that very few players in the history of the sport have come close to matching.
KuCoin's partnership with Scott is rooted in shared values. In professional golf and in building a global financial platform, longevity depends on discipline, consistency, and earning trust over time. That principle has guided KuCoin since its founding and continues to shape how the company approaches its growth, its product, and its partnerships.
BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, commented:
"Reaching 100 consecutive major championships is not just a milestone — it is a testament to discipline, resilience, and the ability to perform at the highest level over time. These are the same principles that guide KuCoin as we continue to build a trusted and transparent digital asset ecosystem. Our partnership with Adam Scott reflects a shared belief that trust is not claimed — it is earned, over time, through performance."
That philosophy is perhaps best exemplified on the course. As Adam Scott reaches his 100th consecutive major championship appearance, his career stands as a testament to the very principles KuCoin continues to build upon — discipline, resilience, and trust developed over time.
Adam Scott said:
"Reaching 100 consecutive majors is something I'm incredibly proud of. It reflects years of commitment and the ability to stay focused through different stages of my career. I've always believed that success isn't defined by a single moment, but by showing up consistently and continuing to improve. That's why I value partnerships with organizations like KuCoin, where there is a shared focus on long-term thinking, building trust, and continuous progress."
As KuCoin continues to expand its regulatory footprint and invest in long-term infrastructure, its partnership with Adam Scott reflects a straightforward idea: trust is built over time, and the work that goes into earning it matters more than the moment it gets recognized.
Together, they represent a shared vision: to build trust over time, and to keep moving forward — with precision, discipline, and confidence in the future.
