Notice of Finalization of Terms for Green Bond
Subaru Corporation today finalized the terms for its domestic public offering of green bonds, as follows, in accordance with the Sustainability Finance Framework announced on October 30, 2023. This will be the third instance of financing under this framework, following the green bond in November 2023 and the green loan in January 2024.
Toward achieving its vision of “Delivering Happiness to All,” Subaru will fulfill its corporate social responsibilities and provide "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" to its customers and other stakeholders by promoting initiatives based on the SUBARU Global Sustainability Policy with a focus on the Subaru Group’s Six Priority Areas for CSR, which are "People-oriented Car Culture," "Resonance and Coexistence," "Peace of Mind," "Diversity," "Environment," and "Compliance." Specifically, in the area of “Environment,” in August 2023, Subaru raised its electrification target to “50% of total global sales to be battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in 2030,” and is advancing efforts to achieve this goal. We will further accelerate our initiatives by allocating the procured funds to the development, manufacturing, and other activities of BEVs.
Subaru will continue to strive for sustainable growth while contributing to the creation of an enjoyable and sustainable society.
