Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd.
Tokyo, June 28, 2023 - Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd. (NAM), the core company within the Investment Management Division of Nomura Group, today announced that it has published its Responsible Investment Report 2022 (English version) outlining NAM’s responsible investment activities in 2022. NAM has published the Responsible Investment Report annually since 2018.
The report provides information to asset owners, individual clients, investee companies, and all stakeholders on NAM's efforts to achieve a sustainable society through its asset management business. Each year, NAM provides detailed insight into a wide variety of topics including its engagement activities, exercise of voting rights, and ESG integration.
Starting this year, NAM has added a section on ESG Product Governance, a key focus for the company. The global expansion of ESG investment has led to significant changes in the roles and responsibilities of institutional investors. NAM is strengthening its product governance1 with regard to ESG amid tightening of ESG regulations and other global changes.
In addition, the report details NAM's efforts to achieve its 2050 net zero goal. In its TCFD2 disclosure, NAM measured and disclosed financed emissions of its sovereign bond portfolio for the first time. This disclosure was made based on the December 2022 PCAF3 publication of the global standard for measuring and disclosing financed emissions of sovereign bonds.
NAM will continue to create a virtuous cycle of investment (investment chain) together with its clients and investee companies. NAM remains committed to realizing a sustainable and prosperous society and helping clients build assets.
