Japan is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition, and its financial institutions are under pressure to prove that sustainable finance is more than a label.

 

In this episode, Climate Bonds Initiative CEO Sean Kidney sits down with Masayuki Takanashi, Executive Officer and Group Chief Sustainability Officer of SMBC Group, for a frank conversation on how SMBC Group creates Social Value, and what credible sustainable finance actually looks like in practice.

 

Topics covered:

  • SMBC Group's "Social Value Creation" strategy and what it means in practice
  • The SMBC Sustainable Finance Framework — what it does and why it matters
  • Transition finance and Japan's path to decarbonisation

Introduced by Yumiko Watanabe, Head of Japan Programme, Climate Bonds Initiative.
