　This time, the Grand Prix was presented to the Asahi Group as the most superior company in the three factors “SDGs strategy and economic value,” “social value,” and “environmental value” along with “governance” as the fourth factor which is their foundation, while both boosting enterprise value and contributing to the SDGs at a high level through its corporate activities overall.
