We are committed to reducing our credit balance in industries with high environmental impact, such as fossil fuel mining, palm oil plantations, and forestry. 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 target, we will continue monitoring the reduction of credit extended to these industries, closely examining credit recipients and amounts. As part of this process, we consider both business and regional characteristics when identifying borrowers to target, as well as assessing the potential impact of reductions.
