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

Nomura has established the Sustainability Committee, chaired by the Group CEO, and comprising other executives designated by the Group CEO that includes the Executive Management Board members, to deliberate and make decisions on strategies to achieve sustainability objectives. The Chief Sustainability Officer leads discussions in the Sustainability Committee to consolidate the company's sustainability activity and accelerate the formulation and promotion of strategies. The Committee also examines the operations of specific businesses that contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. The Board of Directors offers advice on sustainability related reports prepared by executive officers.

In order to ensure opportunities for more flexible and substantive discussions on sustainability, the Sustainability Council, which was established and operated as a forum for discussion by executives from across departments and regions, was divided into the Sustainability Business Forum, which deals with topics more closely related to business activities, and the Sustainability Corporate Forum, which deals with information disclosure and policy formulation. Each forum will coordinate with the Sustainability Committee as appropriate to promote flexible approaches to sustainability.

The Chief Sustainability Officer is responsible for implementing sustainability related strategies including gathering information on sustainability locally and globally, managing the progress of sustainability-related measures, and developing sustainability-related policies and frameworks. Specifically, the Chief Sustainability Officer leads discussions at the Sustainability Committee meetings and the Sustainability Forums and also acts as the flagship for promoting sustainability by communicating our initiatives to the public.
