Nissan signs 200 billion yen green loan for zero emission mobility investments

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. signed a 200
billion yen syndicated green loan agreement arranged by Mizuho Bank. Nissan will
utilize the loan to support its clean mobility and related projects to progress its long-
term electrification and carbon neutrality ambitions. The loan contract period will be
five and seven years.
As the first funds raised since launching the Nissan Sustainable Finance Framework in
July, the company is deepening its investment program in electrification. Loan
proceeds will fund eligible green projects defined in the framework, such as R&D,
investments and expenditures for the design, development, and manufacturing of
zero-emission vehicles and components for electric vehicles or other future carbon-
neutral initiatives.
With a second-party review conducted by Sustainalytics, Nissan has aligned its
framework with the Green Bond Principle 2021, Social Bond Principle 2021,
Sustainability Bond Guideline 2021, Green Loan Principle 2021, and Social Loan
Principle 2021.
As a pioneer in electric vehicles, Nissan is accelerating electrification and
technological innovation to enhance zero emission and clean mobility. Nissan seeks to
empower journeys and society with a range of electrified vehicles of high value to
customers.
The signing of the green loan represents the latest initiative that positions
sustainability at the core of Nissan’s business, reflecting its corporate purpose of
"Driving innovation to enrich people's lives.” As Nissan becomes a truly sustainable
business, the company aims to realize a cleaner, safer and more inclusive world.
