Car manufacturer Nissan has announced the launch of what it calls a sustainable finance framework to help fund new electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, sustainable technologies and mobility services.
Funds raised from the Nissan Sustainable Finance Framework will reportedly also be used to support renewable energy projects, clean manufacturing systems, EV re-charging infrastructure, battery re-use and autonomous driving technologies.
The company claims that the network will support Nissan to raise funds to improve its sustainability offering.
According to Nissan, the programme underpins its pledge to promote green technology and offer products for a safer, cleaner and more accessible world.
Nissan has published the eligibility criteria for business areas and technology projects to receive funding, which follows a review by Sustainalytics, an independent research body focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG).
This framework, Nissan says, is a recent example of the company’s broader ambition to make sustainability central to its operations.
