Sustainability Management

Sustainability Policy (the Group’s vision of 2050)

Three themes we value

In April 2020, the Group established the Sustainability Management Department to strengthen and promote its sustainability activities. In addition, after reviewing the meeting system, in April 2020 we established the Sustainability Committee, which since April 2021 has been chaired by the president and Group CEO of Nomura Real Estate Holdings. The committee checks progress on the initiatives for sustainability policies and objectives and deliberates and makes decisions on activity plans. The main topics discussed in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 included setting targets for decarbonization and disseminating these in-house, and formulating biodiversity policy. The results of these reviews are reported three times to the Management Committee and twice to the Board of Directors (including for approval), and are incorporated into management plans and business activities, thereby establishing an effective oversight framework.
The Sustainability Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended March 2025. In addition, to further stimulate internal discussion, the Sustainability Subcommittee, the Environmental Subcommittee, and the Human Rights Subcommittee held meetings a total of seven times. We will continue to promote sustainability initiatives and advance the PDCA cycle in line with this policy. Furthermore, starting in the fiscal year ended March 2025, we held three meetings of the Departmental Secretariat, which aims to promote sustainability within each division and Group company.

Reflecting Sustainability and Other Non-Financial Factors in Director Compensation

The Group requires that directors be strongly aware of the importance of adapting to changes in society and the needs of the times in their selection criteria. Since the fiscal year ended March 2023, the policy for deciding the details of compensation for every director, excluding Audit & Supervisory Committee members, has been revised. To raise directors’ awareness of sustainability, performance indicators that pertain to bonuses (monetary compensation) and the calculation method for these bonuses have taken non-financial indicators (e.g., sustainability factors) into consideration. For fiscal year ended March 2025, the non-financial indicators to be evaluated were the energy performance indicators. These are applicable to people holding positions as executive officers or higher at all Group companies.
