Kudos to our Asia team for finishing in 8th position with a time of 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 1 second in the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay Singapore 2024! Armed with weeks of training, our team of 10 ran a mile (1.6km) each, covering a combined distance of 10 miles (16km). Colleagues who did not participate in the run showed their support by cheering the team on the sidelines. Everyone ended the evening in high spirits and had a great time bonding! #nikkoam #bloombergsquaremilerelay #runforyourcity

How can we create greater impact in the green bond market, and is there a need a global benchmark? This September, our Global Head of Sustainable Investment Natalia Rajewska participated in an insightful panel discussion hosted by OMFIF in partnership with the European Commission. The panel delved into the intricacies of green bonds, the EU’s approach to sustainable finance, potential avenues for collaboration on energy transition with Asia and need for both tailored approach and solutions at scale. Held in Singapore, this event provided a platform for investors to deepen their understanding of investing in Europe. The day was marked by collaborative discussions and fresh perspectives, underscoring the importance of sustainable investment in driving global change. #NikkoAM #ESGInvesting #Responsibleinvesting #Sustainability OMFIF's Sovereign Debt Institute

It was a fun and heart-warming experience to join FIT for Charity  again to raise money for 8 charities supporting disadvantaged communities in Japan.

We are pleased to announce that #NikkoAM has signed the 2024 Global Investor Statement to Governments on the Climate Crisis. In 2018, we were the first Asian-headquartered asset manager to support all 4 areas under The Investor Agenda. Investors recognize that policy mechanisms are essential to achieve a net zero emissions economy by 2050 or sooner. That’s why ahead of #COP29 – alongside hundreds of investors – we’re calling on governments to enact 5 essential policy actions to accelerate the private capital flows needed for a just transition to a climate-resilient, nature-positive economy. We invite you to find out more about the #climatepolicy asks here. *Please note that this link will bring you to a third-party website. https://lnkd.in/g5x6RgCx　 #GlobalInvestorStatement #COP29 #ESGInvesting #Responsibleinvesting #Sustainability #Sustainabilityreporting #Engagement #Governance Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC)

Our colleagues in London once again teamed up with charity HandsOn London, this time on behalf of Children's Book Project. We were proud to donate an assortment of books, and spent the day volunteering at the Project’s storage and distribution facility. We also donated to maintain Children’s Book Project’s delivery network. #NikkoAM #LiteracyDay #handsonlondon #handsonheroes #londonvolunteering

It was a joy to host our annual Family Day at Tokyo headquarters, showing appreciation to colleagues’ families. Visitors, from babies to seniors, took commemorative photos, and children exchanged business cards. As a special treat, the Guide Dog & Service Dog & Hearing Dog Association of Japan gave a talk and demonstration by two labradors and a toy poodle of how they support people with disabilities. #Guidedog #Service dog #Hearing dog #NikkoAM #sustainability #日本補助犬協会

Our Japan Abilities Group organised an exciting parasports event with support from The Nippon Foundation Parasports Support Center. We invited our peers at Bloomberg, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings and SuMi TRUST AM, and following an ice breaker to practice non-verbal communication, participants enjoyed competing in boccia, sitting volleyball, and a wheelchair relay. We believe that when diverse personalities come together and collaborate, we become stronger and more successful as a team. #NikkoAM #sustainability
