TOKYO, Japan - July 30, 2021 - ORIX Bank Corporation (“ORIX Bank”) announced today that it has formulated the ORIX Bank Sustainability Policy.

The basic policy of the ORIX Group is to contribute to society through the provision of new values via its business activities. In order to further clarify its attitude, philosophy, and management direction with regard to contributing to society, it has formulated a Sustainability Policy. The policy applies to all of the company’s business activities, and to all employees involved in these activities.

■Sustainability Policy
ORIX Bank seeks both to resolve societal issues and to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through its business; in this way, it aims to achieve sustainable growth as a company that creates new values. Its Sustainability Policy defines the principles via which ORIX Bank will incorporate sustainability into its business activities.

Basic Approach

• In order to contribute to a sustainable society, ORIX Bank will clearly grasp society’s needs by entering into dialogue with diverse stakeholders, including customers, business partners, employees, shareholders, society, and administrative bodies. Through its business activities, it will endeavor to resolve societal issues.
• ORIX Bank will provide financing services to industry, which is the foundation on which a sustainable society is built; at the same time, it will provide products and services that contribute to the resolution of issues faced both by its customers and by society. In addition, ORIX Bank will aim to become a sustainable company itself, such as by promoting work style reforms and digitalization, and thereby seek to achieve further growth.
•  In its business operation decisions, ORIX Bank will place the highest priority on sustainability.

The world is faced with diverse environmental and societal issues, ranging from the depletion of global resources and climate change to social inequalities and anxiety. If it wishes to contribute to society in an effective manner, ORIX Bank will have to concentrate its attention on important societal issues on which it can bring its strengths to bear.
To this end, within the business fields in which its strengths lie, the company has analyzed and considered the risks and opportunities related to various societal issues, and identified four themes and nine priority issues (Materialities) on which to focus.

Going forward, ORIX Bank will continue to analyze and reevaluate the issues faced by society, and revise its priority issues accordingly.
