Promoting Sustainability

Our Sustainability Committee is a management-level decision-making entity that plays an integral role in Nomura Group’s sustainable growth strategy and our aim to contribute to resolution of social issues.

Nomura implements sustainability initiatives in collaboration with Group offices and companies in Japan, Asia ex-Japan, EMEA, and the Americas. We conduct appropriate disclosure of our various initiatives through the Nomura Report and our website with the aim of raising our Group’s corporate value.

Framework

Sustainability Committee

The Sustainability Committee is chaired by our Group CEO and comprises the same members as the Executive Management Board. The Committee is positioned within the Executive Management Board, the highest decision-making body at the executive level, enabling strategic implementation of our ESG and sustainability initiatives. In order to create a framework for swift decision making on matters of sustainability, five subcommittees are established under the Sustainability Committee - Wholesale Sustainability Forum, Climate Risk and ESG Working Group, TCFD Working Group, Environmental Activities Working Group and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Working Group.
The Sustainability Committee is further supported by a Sustainability Council, which has senior leaders including the Division Heads, overseeing the group sustainability initiatives.

Nomura Group executives in charge of businesses and corporate affairs make up the Sustainability Committee. The Committee is responsible for developing business policies on sustainability-related risks and opportunities for the entire Nomura Group and approving and deciding on related activities. The activities of the Sustainability Committee are reported to the Board of Directors and the Executive Management Board as the occasion demands.

The Committee also examines the operations of specific businesses that contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. Nomura Group requires the Sustainability Committee to hold two or more meetings each fiscal year. By holding meetings jointly with the Executive Management Board, which has the same chairman and members as the Sustainability Committee, a more flexible management system is in place to facilitate strategic decisions.
