Mizuho Green Deposit

Mizuho Green Deposit is a time deposit account used in principle to finance projects that contribute to an improved environment, such as solar and other renewable energy projects. Allocating clients’ deposit money to green projects enables us to provide them with the opportunity to invest their funds in green business areas.

Framework

Mizuho Bank Green Deposit Framework was established in collaboration with third-party evaluation organization Sustainalytics. Client deposit funds are managed based on the framework.

We will revise the framework as necessary going forward, with attention to the ESG-related business environment, market trends, and regulatory changes.

Morningstar Sustainalytics, a part of the US Morningstar Group, is an independent organization that conducts research, evaluation, and analysis in the areas of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and corporate governance. It is a leading provider of ESG research, ratings, and data that has supported the development and implementation of responsible investment strategies of investors globally.
