SUSTAINABILITY

Contributing to society by creating new value through our business activities is fundamental to ORIX. Providing new value and being a company that society needs are what make ORIX’s sustainable growth possible. Furthermore, operating with an awareness of sustainability is essential for the survival of companies amid constantly shifting economic, social, and global environmental conditions.

At ORIX Leasing Malaysia (“OLM”) Group, we are committed to reducing our credit balance in industries with high environmental impact, such as fossil fuel mining, forestry, and palm oil plantations (except for companies certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil or Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil). The "OLM Group Sustainable and Responsible Financing Policy & Guidelines", introduced in August 2021 and most recently updated in November 2024, guides these efforts.

As of 31 March 2024, this balance has decreased compared to the fiscal year ending March 2020. Our goal is to reduce it by 50% by 2030 and eliminate it entirely by the fiscal year ending March 2040.

To achieve this, we will continue monitoring the reduction of credit extended to these industries, closely reviewing credit recipients and amounts. As part of this process, we consider both business and regional characteristics when identifying borrowers, while also assessing the potential impact of reductions.
