To make the entire Group’s efforts to achieving these targets, The Oji Group has established a green finance framework. 
By utilizing funds raised via green bonds and green loans, the Oji Group will promote initiatives to realize a decarbonized society.

The Oji Group has obtained a second party opinion from DNV Business Assurance Japan K.K., an independent external reviewer, that the framework is aligned with these principles and guidelines. In the development of the framework and the acquisition of the second party opinion, Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. provided support as a structuring agent to provide advice and other assistance.
