Overview
We are pleased to announce that the 11th Annual Conference of the Green, Social, Sustainability and Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles (collectively known as the “Principles”) will be held in Tokyo, Japan, on Thursday 6th November 2025.
The Conference of the Principles is the premier global annual event for the sustainable bonds market, gathering key representatives from around the world and across the value chain to engage in critical discussions on the future of sustainable finance.
Japan’s leadership role in the development of sustainable finance and more recently, transition finance, made it a clear choice to host the conference there and we are especially thankful for the support of the Japan Securities Dealers Association (JSDA) as co-hosts.
This year’s conference will bring together prominent international speakers, including senior officials from national and international regulatory bodies, corporate and sovereign issuers, as well as representatives from banks, asset managers and leading service providers. The event will cover key market developments in sustainable and transition finance, 2025 guidance from the Principles and the impact of regulation.
Join us for the 11th Annual Conference of the Principles and be part of the conversation shaping the future of sustainable finance.
Please note that this event will take place in English, with simultaneous interpretation available in both English and Japanese.

Transition Investment to Achieve Carbon Neutrality: A Path to 150 trillion Yen through Public-Private Partnerships
Date: 4 November 2025
Time: 13:00 PM – 18:00 JST followed by a networking reception
Venue: Palace Hotel Tokyo (YAMABUKI room), 1-1-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-0005, Japan

Overview
In pursuit of realizing a carbon-neutral society by 2050, Japan is accelerating efforts to decarbonise GHG-intensive industries. Building on its successful rollout of renewable energy, the country has embarked on transition projects for hard-to-abate sectors, including energy conservation and fuel switching. These initiatives represent an investment scale of JPY150 trillion (approx. USD1.1 trillion) over the next 10 years.
Achieving carbon neutrality presents significant challenges, particularly in terms of technological advancement and cost, making it essential to maximize emission reductions through the widespread implementation of innovative solutions across society.
Transition finance has emerged as a distinct financing method aimed at supporting companies that are making steady GHG reduction efforts, aligned with long-term strategies to achieve a decarbonised society.
With senior representatives from market participants and Nomura’s Sustainability team, this event is an opportunity to share with the world how Japan is navigating its decarbonisation challenges and harnessing technological innovations to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Registrations for this event will open in due course.
