Mizuho concludes deal with Furukawa Electric

Furukawa Electric was recognised for its environmental initiatives.

Mizuho Bank has concluded its Mizuho Eco Finance services deal with Furukawa Electric Co., the former announced in a press release.

Mizuho has recognised Furukawa Electric for its environmental initiatives, which include obtaining approval for its Science Based Target (SBT) initiatives in August 2019.

SBT is an initiative which encourages companies to engage in science-based target setting for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet the goals established in the Paris Agreement.

“We will draw on our expertise as a financial services group to proactively provide financing support, including sustainable finance and environment finance, as well as advice and solutions for strengthening and shifting businesses towards decarbonisation,” Mizuho said.

The deal with Furukawa Electric is the 13th Mizuho Eco Finance deal, bringing Mizuho’s total financing in this initiative to $6.8b (JPY548.3b).

Mizuho Eco Finance is an environmental evaluation and financing product design to allow organisations to work together towards a low-carbon society.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
