This follows an announcement by the Mizuho Financial Group that it intends to raise USD 700 billion in sustainable finance by 2030.\u00a0 The partnership aims to expand sustainable and impact finance initiatives\u00a0which strengthen economic infrastructure by resolving a range of societal and environmental issues and enhancing socioeconomic sustainability.\u00a0The\u00a0approach aims to integrate\u00a0sustainability into business strategies and operations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP has prioritized engaging with the private sector to mobilize much needed resources and\u00a0to\u00a0scale up efforts in achieving\u00a0the SDGs. Its\u00a0SDG Finance\u00a0Team at\u00a0the\u00a0Regional Bureau for Asia\u00a0and the\u00a0Pacific (RBAP) and\u00a0UNDP\u2019s Sustainable Finance Hub have introduced service lines for businesses and investors to align investments towards the SDGs. These service lines\u00a0are\u00a0focused on\u00a0the\u00a0development of impact-driven investment frameworks, integrated into the entire investment cycle. In 2022, Mizuho became the first global company to participate in UNDP\u2019s \u201cSDG Impact Standards Training\u201d, strengthening efforts to enable a wide range of customers to engage in impact finance.\u00a0Mizuho published\u00a0its\u00a0\u201cImpact Business Compass\u201d in\u00a0May 2024, which\u00a0guides\u00a0its thinking on impact, both in terms of the opportunities and approaches to becoming an impact business. This announcement advances collaboration with Mizuho, an industry leader in Asia, while serving as a model for other companies to follow suit.\u00a0 In collaborating with UNDP, Mizuho is advancing initiatives that seek to establish positive cycles that cogenerate SDG impact and economic and corporate value.\u00a0UNDP will provide Mizuho with comprehensive advisory services to enhance its sustainable investment strategy, operations, and project identification. UNDP\u2019s expertise and global network will help Mizuho identify and support impactful projects aligned with the SDGs, structure blended finance solutions, and amend its\u00a0sustainability-related policies. Key areas of the partnership\u00a0include\u00a0developing a comprehensive sustainable investment strategy and financing for\u00a0Mizuho that aligns with international standards and best practices. UNDP will also support Mizuho to\u00a0develop\u00a0sustainable product offerings, policies, and operational procedures, as well as\u00a0identify and\u00a0prioritize\u00a0investment opportunities that\u00a0can\u00a0contribute to the SDGs. \u201cPrivate capital investments at scale are essential to see accelerated progress across the Sustainable Development Goals. Our partnership with the Mizuho Financial Group underscores the vital role and compelling business case for investing in areas like climate change, biodiversity, and social equity,\u201d said Kanni Wignaraja, UNDP\u2019s Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific. \u201cBy combining Mizuho\u2019s financial capabilities and assets with UNDP\u2019s strategic vision and development expertise across Asia and the Pacific, we look to enable transformative change. We hope this partnership serves as an inspiration for other financing institutions to follow the Mizuho Financial Group's lead,\u201d she added. Yasuhiko Ushikubo, Executive Officer and Head of the Research and Consulting Unit, Mizuho Financial Group and Mizuho Group Chief Sustainability Officer (CSuO), said, \u201cMizuho works to co-create impact with diverse stakeholders in working towards its purpose of tackling new challenges and achieving success together. Achieving a sustainable society requires incorporating social and environmental factors, which have been regarded as external to corporate and economic activities, into decision-making as internal factors. In this way, internalizing externalities is crucial to fostering a virtuous cycle of impact creation and corporate growth. The UNDP has a proven track record of supporting projects that aim to create global impact towards achieving the SDGs through capacity building that accelerates impact thinking. Through this partnership, Mizuho will work with the UNDP to promote its impact business not only Japan, but also globally.\u201dAbout the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)\u00a0 \u00a0As the United Nations lead agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. UNDP helps countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. UNDP\u2019s work is\u00a0centred around six signature development solutions:\u00a0poverty and inequality, governance, resilience, environment, energy and gender equality.About the UNDP Sustainable Finance Hub\u00a0 The Sustainable Finance Hub brings together UNDP\u2019s financial expertise to harness public and private capital for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) \u2013 supporting governments, investors and businesses in reaching climate, social impact and sustainability targets.\u00a0Its work drives systemic change towards a sustainable financial architecture that benefits people and the planet.\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/undp-and-mizuho-financial-group-form-strategic-partnership-to-align-700-billion-with-the-sdgs-by-2030\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"UNDP and Mizuho Financial Group Form Strategic Partnership to Align $700 Billion with the\u00a0SDGs\u00a0by\u00a02030\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/\",\"name\":\"SDG News\",\"description\":\"SDG News Supports the Sustainable Development Goals\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/#organization\"},\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"zh-Hans\"},{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/#organization\",\"name\":\"SDG News\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/\",\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"zh-Hans\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/logo\\\/image\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/03\\\/Untitled-design-2.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/03\\\/Untitled-design-2.png\",\"width\":500,\"height\":246,\"caption\":\"SDG News\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/logo\\\/image\\\/\"}},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sdgnews.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/84f8eaf77462758fe2d00f443c547512\",\"name\":\"SDG News\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"zh-Hans\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/secure.gravatar.com\\\/avatar\\\/a6158cfa3c48174600e4689a9cd8eda8be0ea35b93aa0db97fb7f33f215005f0?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/secure.gravatar.com\\\/avatar\\\/a6158cfa3c48174600e4689a9cd8eda8be0ea35b93aa0db97fb7f33f215005f0?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/secure.gravatar.com\\\/avatar\\\/a6158cfa3c48174600e4689a9cd8eda8be0ea35b93aa0db97fb7f33f215005f0?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"SDG News\"},\"description\":\"John Smith is a seasoned editor with over a decade of experience in the journalism industry, currently serving as the Senior Editor at NewsTime Magazine, a respected publication known for its insightful analysis and comprehensive coverage of global events.

This follows an announcement by the Mizuho Financial Group that it intends to raise USD 700 billion in sustainable finance by 2030.\u00a0 The partnership aims to expand sustainable and impact finance initiatives\u00a0which strengthen economic infrastructure by resolving a range of societal and environmental issues and enhancing socioeconomic sustainability.\u00a0The\u00a0approach aims to integrate\u00a0sustainability into business strategies and operations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP has prioritized engaging with the private sector to mobilize much needed resources and\u00a0to\u00a0scale up efforts in achieving\u00a0the SDGs. Its\u00a0SDG Finance\u00a0Team at\u00a0the\u00a0Regional Bureau for Asia\u00a0and the\u00a0Pacific (RBAP) and\u00a0UNDP\u2019s Sustainable Finance Hub have introduced service lines for businesses and investors to align investments towards the SDGs. These service lines\u00a0are\u00a0focused on\u00a0the\u00a0development of impact-driven investment frameworks, integrated into the entire investment cycle. In 2022, Mizuho became the first global company to participate in UNDP\u2019s \u201cSDG Impact Standards Training\u201d, strengthening efforts to enable a wide range of customers to engage in impact finance.\u00a0Mizuho published\u00a0its\u00a0\u201cImpact Business Compass\u201d in\u00a0May 2024, which\u00a0guides\u00a0its thinking on impact, both in terms of the opportunities and approaches to becoming an impact business. This announcement advances collaboration with Mizuho, an industry leader in Asia, while serving as a model for other companies to follow suit.\u00a0 In collaborating with UNDP, Mizuho is advancing initiatives that seek to establish positive cycles that cogenerate SDG impact and economic and corporate value.\u00a0UNDP will provide Mizuho with comprehensive advisory services to enhance its sustainable investment strategy, operations, and project identification. UNDP\u2019s expertise and global network will help Mizuho identify and support impactful projects aligned with the SDGs, structure blended finance solutions, and amend its\u00a0sustainability-related policies. Key areas of the partnership\u00a0include\u00a0developing a comprehensive sustainable investment strategy and financing for\u00a0Mizuho that aligns with international standards and best practices. UNDP will also support Mizuho to\u00a0develop\u00a0sustainable product offerings, policies, and operational procedures, as well as\u00a0identify and\u00a0prioritize\u00a0investment opportunities that\u00a0can\u00a0contribute to the SDGs. \u201cPrivate capital investments at scale are essential to see accelerated progress across the Sustainable Development Goals. Our partnership with the Mizuho Financial Group underscores the vital role and compelling business case for investing in areas like climate change, biodiversity, and social equity,\u201d said Kanni Wignaraja, UNDP\u2019s Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific. \u201cBy combining Mizuho\u2019s financial capabilities and assets with UNDP\u2019s strategic vision and development expertise across Asia and the Pacific, we look to enable transformative change. We hope this partnership serves as an inspiration for other financing institutions to follow the Mizuho Financial Group's lead,\u201d she added. Yasuhiko Ushikubo, Executive Officer and Head of the Research and Consulting Unit, Mizuho Financial Group and Mizuho Group Chief Sustainability Officer (CSuO), said, \u201cMizuho works to co-create impact with diverse stakeholders in working towards its purpose of tackling new challenges and achieving success together. Achieving a sustainable society requires incorporating social and environmental factors, which have been regarded as external to corporate and economic activities, into decision-making as internal factors. In this way, internalizing externalities is crucial to fostering a virtuous cycle of impact creation and corporate growth. The UNDP has a proven track record of supporting projects that aim to create global impact towards achieving the SDGs through capacity building that accelerates impact thinking. Through this partnership, Mizuho will work with the UNDP to promote its impact business not only Japan, but also globally.\u201dAbout the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)\u00a0 \u00a0As the United Nations lead agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. UNDP helps countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. UNDP\u2019s work is\u00a0centred around six signature development solutions:\u00a0poverty and inequality, governance, resilience, environment, energy and gender equality.About the UNDP Sustainable Finance Hub\u00a0 The Sustainable Finance Hub brings together UNDP\u2019s financial expertise to harness public and private capital for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) \u2013 supporting governments, investors and businesses in reaching climate, social impact and sustainability targets.\u00a0Its work drives systemic change towards a sustainable financial architecture that benefits people and the planet."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/undp-and-mizuho-financial-group-form-strategic-partnership-to-align-700-billion-with-the-sdgs-by-2030\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"UNDP and Mizuho Financial Group Form Strategic Partnership to Align $700 Billion with the\u00a0SDGs\u00a0by\u00a02030"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/","name":"SDG News","description":"SDG News Supports the Sustainable Development Goals","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"zh-Hans"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/#organization","name":"SDG News","url":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"zh-Hans","@id":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2.png","width":500,"height":246,"caption":"SDG News"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/sdgnews.com\/#\/schema\/person\/84f8eaf77462758fe2d00f443c547512","name":"SDG News","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"zh-Hans","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a6158cfa3c48174600e4689a9cd8eda8be0ea35b93aa0db97fb7f33f215005f0?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a6158cfa3c48174600e4689a9cd8eda8be0ea35b93aa0db97fb7f33f215005f0?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a6158cfa3c48174600e4689a9cd8eda8be0ea35b93aa0db97fb7f33f215005f0?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"SDG News"},"description":"John Smith is a seasoned editor with over a decade of experience in the journalism industry, currently serving as the Senior Editor at NewsTime Magazine, a respected publication known for its insightful analysis and comprehensive coverage of global events.
