Mizuho Bank has committed to further strong growth and contributions to sustainability across key sectors by continually playing a vital role in driving infrastructure projects and fostering corporate relationships in Australia.
This has been supplemented by actively utilizing the financial group’s ¥100 trillion commitment to sustainable finance origination and direct equity investments in Australia.
“We’ve had the privilege of supporting critical projects that have shaped Australia’s economic landscape while advancing sustainability goals,” said Ryo Kamisaku, general manager of Mizuho Bank’s Sydney branch. “Our partnerships with local and global stakeholders, especially in renewable energy, underscore our commitment to reducing carbon emissions and fostering innovation in the region.”
Central to Mizuho Bank’s success in Australia is its corporate and investment banking model, which seamlessly integrates corporate products and services with investment banking expertise. This approach allows Mizuho Bank to act as a trusted advisor, providing holistic solutions to Australian and Japanese businesses navigating complex challenges. The acquisition of Greenhill & Co. has further bolstered its capacity to deliver strategic advisory and financing services across a dynamic market.
Furthermore, the bank’s partnerships with Australian sustainability leaders, such as MCi Carbon and Pollination, demonstrate its dedication to decarbonization and advancing renewable energy. Arranging and hosting initiatives like the Japan-Australia Decarbonisation Tech Showcase demonstrates that Mizuho Bank’s role in sustainable finance innovation goes beyond traditional banking.
We remain steadfast in our mission to create value for our clients, foster sustainable growth and contribute to a greener future.

Looking ahead, Mizuho Bank plans to continually use its resources toward sustainable finance by leveraging its strength in advisory services, expanded offerings focused on environmental, social and governmental issues, and deep client relationships to drive innovation for positive impact.
“We remain steadfast in our mission to create value for our clients, foster sustainable growth and contribute to a greener future,” Kamisaku said. “This is not just a reflection of our past achievements, but also a commitment to the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.”
