ESG Integration

The report explains how Nomura Asset Management integrates proprietary ESG scores into investment decisions, including a revised Japanese-equity framework used from 2021. It describes impact-investment processes that connect goals, KPIs and the SDGs. For JSE portfolio companies, it reports impacts including 74.58 million tons of CO2 reduction and 104,000 tons of plastic packaging reduction; these are investee impacts rather than Nomura's own operational metrics.
