Key insights
- ORIX issued a senior unsecured green bond on January 30, 2020, for an amount of JPY 10 billion (approximately USD 92 million) with a maturity date of January 30, 2025.
- Proceeds from the bond are intended for three primary categories: renewable energy, clean transportation, and green buildings. Renewable energy includes solar, onshore and offshore wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydroelectric power, with biomass limited to sustainable feedstock and waste that does not compete with food, and hydro projects limited to those with 25MW generation capacity.
- Clean transportation eligibility is limited to electric (EVs), plug-in hybrid (PHVs), hybrid (HVs), and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) with a CO2 emission threshold of no more than 75g/km/passenger. Eligible low-carbon buildings must receive or plan to receive the top two levels of CASBEE, LEED, BELS, or DBJ Green Building Certification, or a Rank A or above on a self-assessment conforming to CASBEE methodology.
- ORIX has committed to annual public disclosure of proceed allocation and impact reporting. Impact indicators will include installed capacity (kWh), estimated CO2 emission reduction (tonnes), proceed allocation per number of vehicles, and building certification levels and CO2 emissions (tons).
- The Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) considers the bond aligned with market practice regarding transparency and eligible categories, but it discourages the use of self-assessment for building certification, stating that independent third-party evaluation is best practice.
