Nissan Motor Group
Nissan Motor Co. is launching a sustainable finance framework to help fund its next-generation electrified vehicles, batteries, environmental technologies, and new mobility services.
Proceeds from the Nissan Sustainable Finance Framework will also support projects in Nissan's use of renewable energy, clean manufacturing systems, EV re-charging infrastructure, battery re-use, and autonomous-drive technologies.

According to Sustainalytics, Nissan's framework is aligned with the Green Bond Principle 2021, Social Bond Principle 2021, Sustainability Bond Guideline 2021, Green Loan Principle 2021, and Social Loan Principle 2021.
The launch of the Nissan Sustainable Finance Framework is the latest initiative to position sustainability at the core of the company's business, reflecting Nissan's corporate purpose of "Driving innovation to enrich people's lives."
