Nomura makes big move on path to net zero

Tokyo, March 10, 2022— For Nomura Holdings, Inc. joining the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) is a big and a key step on the path to net zero.

PCAF is an initiative led by the financial industry to develop a harmonized global standard to measure and disclose the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of loans and investments.

Measuring financed emissions is an important step that enables financial institutions to set science-based targets and align their portfolios with the Paris Agreement.

Nomura’s participation in PCAF supports its commitment to align its commercial activities with the objectives agreed in the Paris Agreement.

It is also aligned with Nomura’s objectives to achieve net zero GHG emissions for its operations by 2030 and to transition attributable GHG emissions from its lending and investment portfolios to align with pathways achieving net zero by 2050.
