Leading Japanese securities house, Nomura, has signed up as a Climate Bonds Partner.
Nick Dent, Head of EMEA Syndicate at Nomura, said:
"We're committed to growing the green bonds market in all the markets we're working in around the world. The Climate Bonds Initiative is equally committed. We see them as a valuable partner in educating the market about opportunities and issues to ensure that market growth is sustainable while being rapid."
Sean Kidney, CEO of the Climate Bonds Initiative, said:
"Nomura, with their green uridashi bonds, were one of the original underwriters of green bonds. It's a privilege to have the opportunity to work with them in growing this market."
The Climate Bonds Initiative has issued an open invitation to banks, issuers, investors and NGOs to join as Climate Bond Partners to help rapidly grow what is already a US$50bn market of green and climate bonds.
The Climate Bonds Initiative is a registered charity, and donations are tax deductible in the UK.
