Initiatives・Certifications Membership and Signatories

In July 2014, ORIX Group joined the United Nations Global Compact. We support the ten principles in four fields: human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. We promote initiatives in each of these fields.

ORIX Group, including OAM, participates in the initiative as it supports the organization’s recognition that the industries must develop a sound sense of urgency and initiate more proactive actions in order to realize a sustainable zero-carbon society.

OAM, ORIX Corporation, and ORIX Bank Corporation are signatories of the “Principles for Financial Action towards a Sustainable Society” (also known as the Principles for Financial Action for the 21st Century). The principles were established as action guidelines for financial institutions seeking to fulfill their roles and responsibilities necessary for a sustainable society.

TCFD released a final recommendation report to encourage voluntary, consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures for use by companies in providing information to investors, and other stakeholders. OAM and ORIX Group support TCFD.

The TCFD Consortium was established to bring together Japanese companies and financial institutions that endorse TCFD recommendations to promote initiatives. It is a forum for discussing effective information disclosure and connecting disclosed information to financial institutions and other parties to promote appropriate investment decisions. OAM and ORIX Corporation are members.
