Nippon Life has set a new goal of reducing greenhouse gases emitted by investee companies by more than 45% by 2030.
Our policy is to strengthen investment and financing related to renewable energy toward virtually zero by 2050.
Nippon Life has set a goal of virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions from investee companies by 2050.
In order to steadily achieve this, on the 17th, we set a new interim target of reducing the emissions of investees by 45% or more compared to 2010 by 2030.
The company will engage in dialogue with investees to encourage decarbonization efforts, and will invest and finance 500 billion yen by the next fiscal year to venture companies with technologies that will lead to the spread of renewable energy and decarbonization. I'm going to do it.
In addition, we will join an international organization created by financial institutions aiming to decarbonize, promote rules such as emission measurement methods, and work on information disclosure.
At a press conference, Nippon Life's president Hiroshi Shimizu said, "Since it is meaningless for society as a whole to stop investing in companies with high emissions, we will promote decarbonization through dialogue and aim to achieve our goals."
