Initiatives related to our product proposals
At MUMSS, we check the ESG-related criteria as part of the process to introduce the investment trusts that we propose. In addition, we will perform due diligence under the same criteria for the investment trusts that we currently offer. Through these efforts, we aim to incorporate a fixed level of ESG criteria into our lineup of investment trusts.
Sustainable finance
MUFG has set a target of providing a cumulative 35 trillion yen in sustainable finance by 2030 (of which 18 trillion yen is for -finance in the environmental f-ield) to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society and the achievement of the SDGs through the provision of financial services to our customers. At MUMSS, we actively support our customers in their ESG activities, and thereby increase the amount of our sustainable finance.
Turning our officers and employees into ESG specialists
We encourage each of our employees in accumulating ESG knowledge and having a sense of commitment so that we can enhance engagement with our stakeholders. We hold internal study sessions by experts and encourage all officers and employees to take certificate exams.

In this project, employees learn the overall aspects of sustainability such as climate change and biodiversity, and make direct recommendations to the company on issues it should address. Younger employees also actively promote sustainability activities.
