Mizuho Bank, GenZero ink MOU for transition credit-use

They aim to develop capital raising mechanisms that use the credits.

Mizuho Bank has signed a memorandum of understanding with Temasek-owned decarbonisation-focused investment platform, GenZero.

Mizuho Bank said that it will “intensify its efforts to develop innovative financing methods utilizing carbon credits.”

“In partnership with GenZero, the bank will also provide information to enhance awareness of transition credits amongst Japanese companies,” the press release said.GenZero is an investment platform company owned by Temasek, a Singapore-owned investment

firm. It reportedly focuses on accelerating decarbonisation.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
