Tokyo, December 14, 2023 – Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, Chairman, President & CEO Shingo Konomoto, “NRI”), a leading provider of consulting services and system solutions, announced today that on December 8, 2023, it was selected for the sixth consecutive year as a component of the “World Index”, the global version of the “Dow Jones Sustainability Indices” (“DJSI”), the world's leading ESG investment indicators (“DJSI World”). Furthermore, the Company was simultaneously selected for the “DJSI Asia Pacific Index”, the DJSI’s Asia-Pacific version of the index, for an eighth consecutive year.
