Tokyo, September 11, 2020 - Nomura Holdings, Inc. today announced that in the fiscal year ending March 2021 it will newly allocate 100 million yen in funds to donations for CSR initiatives.

Starting this year, the firm will discontinue the provision of calendars to shareholders¹ as a shareholder benefit. Funds previously used to produce and distribute the calendars will be allocated to various CSR initiatives, including environmental conservation, and to support areas affected by the frequent occurrence of natural disasters in recent years.

In addition to donating to CSR initiatives, by not providing calendars, the firm expects an estimated reduction in paper usage of 35 tons per year that will contribute to the conservation of forest resources, as well as reducing the impact of about 250,000 deliveries and logistics.
