Green Bond Fact Sheet

A fact sheet detailing a USD 100 million green bond issued by Hitachi Capital Management China on December 15, 2017, with a five-year tenor and a maturity date of December 15, 2022.

• Hitachi Capital Management China issued a USD 100 million senior unsecured green bond on December 15, 2017, with a maturity date of December 15, 2022. The bond is categorized as being issued by a non-financial corporate and carries a country of risk of Japan.
• The proceeds of the bond are allocated across several categories, including solar energy, certified buildings, and water treatment. Specifically, a second party opinion from DNV GL noted proposed allocations for solar PV, water use efficiency upgrades, water treatment, the construction and upgrading of BEAM certified green buildings, and production technologies and processes adapted for the circular economy.
• The Climate Bonds Initiative initially excluded the bond from its database in January due to a lack of clarity regarding circular economy projects. However, after Mizuho (the Green Structuring Agent and sole underwriter) confirmed that over USD 100 million had already been invested in green buildings, renewables, and water projects, the bond was reassessed and found to be aligned with the Climate Bonds Taxonomy.
