In response to the growing interest in ESG and SDGs across the world, Nomura Group acquired Greentech Capital Advisors (Hereinafter, "Greentech"), the leading U.S-based boutique providing M&A advisory services in the sustainable technology and infrastructure sector, in April 2020. Through its ESG/SDGs-related underwriting and advisory services under the brand name “Nomura Greentech”, Nomura Group aims to strengthen support for companies contributing to sustainable development of society, for instance, through response to climate change.

With interest in ESG investments (Investment that takes into account environmental, social and governance factors) and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals set by the U.N. in 2015) growing worldwide, an increasing number of companies are focusing on the ESG/SDGs field to raise funds and develop their businesses. In light of this social trend, Nomura Group acquired Greentech Capital Advisors (Hereinafter, “Greentech”), the leading M & A advisory boutique in the sustainable technology and infrastructure sector in the United States in April 2020.
After the acquisition, Greentech rebranded itself as "Nomura Greentech (Hereinafter, “Nomura Greentech”)". Nomura Greentech will offer sophisticated ESG/SDGs-related services, by combining Greentech’s deep expertise and know-hows in the area of cutting-edge infrastructure-related technologies centering on renewable energy and energy tech and Nomura Group’s wide variety of products, services and global business platform.
Nomura Group provides global financial services under the mission to enrich society through Nomura Group’s expertise in capital markets. Building upon the establishment of Nomura Greentech, Nomura Group will strengthen its ability to provide services in the area of ESG/SDGs to further reinforce its ESG-related underwriting and advisory services. Through such efforts, Nomura Group will better meet ever-diversifying needs of clients, while strengthening support for companies contributing to sustainable development of society, for instance, through response to climate change.
