Investing under the Principles for Positive Impact Finance

Investing under the Principles for Positive Impact Finance

Principles adopted in January 2017 by members of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), namely, financial institutions, to achieve sustainable development and the SDGs as a series of shared principles for financing that will lead to efforts to maximize the positive impact on the economy, society, and the environmental while addressing any negative impacts thereon.

JMF decided to acquire "Karuizawa Commongrounds (land with leasehold interest)" in March 2023. JMF will participate in the creation of the local community in Karuizawa as a land owner. We believe that this acquisition can contribute to the creation of a local community in Karuizawa, and simultaneously contribute to promote certain sustainability initiatives of the local community and generate stable income for JMF.
