Aozora’s ESG Support Framework

Aozora provides both financial and non-financial solutions to support customers’ initiatives to solve environmental, social, governance and other sustainability issues.

In the financial area, we offer sustainable finance proposals in accordance with our customers’ recognition of the issues and circumstances. For our PIF, sustainability-linked loans, green loans, and social loans, we obtained a second opinion from Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), which has determined that our evaluation framework and system were compliant with international principles and domestic guidelines (Aozora’s ESG Framework Loan).

In the non-financial area, we support customers’ sustainability-related initiatives through collaboration with external partners that provide solutions regarding decarbonization and human capital management. Moving forward, we will further develop and expand upon the range of our solutions in a phased manner.

Given that the development of human resources who are experts in sustainability is an important issue for financial institutions, we have been focusing on this area by proactively conducting training and study sessions.
