Country: Japan

Date of signing: 8 June 2012

“Natural Capital (the Earth’s natural assets) are the most fundamental assets which make human life possible. Damage to Natural Capital would inevitably prevent the conduct of sound business operations over the long term, and repairing such damage is no easy task. Therefore, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group has developed various financial products and services to protect such Natural Capital. By becoming a signatory to the Natural Capital Declaration, we will further advance these initiatives and make our own contributions to the realization of a world in which humans can use Natural Capital in a sustainable manner.”
