Japanese financial giant Mizuho Financial Group and the London Stock Exchange Group have announced a collaboration to propel growth in the carbon credit market.

LSEG created a Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) designation for funds and companies investing in projects that reduce carbon emissions (decarbonisation) and are expected to generate carbon credits. These credits, issued as dividends to investors, provide a reliable long-term supply.

Through this agreement, Mizuho will connect its clients with VCM-designated investment options. Also, both companies will collaborate to educate Mizuho's clients about carbon credits.

Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future

Mizuho and LSEG see carbon credits as a way to speed up decarbonisation efforts and contribute to global sustainability goals. This collaboration builds on their existing partnership in sustainability, announced in November 2022.

Mizuho is committed to sustainability and offers a range of solutions to help clients transition to a more sustainable future. They leverage their expertise as a comprehensive financial services group to drive positive change.
