Tokyo, March 12, 2025 -Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. (Nomura) today announced plans to establish a Sustainable Innovation Investment Scheme, a new investment framework targeting companies seeking to commercialize and scale operations leveraging advanced technologies in the environment, energy, decarbonization, health and education fields. This will strengthen initiatives to resolve social issues and help build a more sustainable world in line with Nomura's Group Purpose of "We aspire to create a better world by harnessing the power of financial markets". Countries around the world are pursuing innovations to transition to a low-carbon economy and realize a sustainable society based on their unique economic and social circumstances. In the environment and energy sectors in Japan, the Cabinet Office approved the 7th Strategic Energy Plan, the Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures, and the GX* 2040 Vision on February 18, 2025, laying the groundwork for initiatives leading up to 2040. However, these initiatives often take time to commercialize and require the establishment of new markets and transformations across supply chains. This high level of uncertainty is a source of concern for many entrepreneurs and investors. As a key player in the financial markets, Nomura connects large corporations and startups that require funding with investors, providing financial advice and other financial services to support transition and innovation. In addition to this, Nomura will pursue both social impact and financial returns by investing its own capital in unlisted companies tackling social issues with a long-term perspective, as well as projects aimed at creating innovations across the entire value chain. By sharing perspectives with entrepreneurs and investors, Nomura will directly participate in efforts to build a sustainable society. Nomura will leverage its collective groupwide strengths, including Research, the Wholesale Division including Investment Banking, the Investment Management Division responsible for developing investment products, and the Wealth Management Division with a nationwide network in Japan, to maximize synergies from these investments within the group and realize a sustainable economy and society. *GX is short for Green Transformation.
