Nomura Celebrates 100th Anniversary
Nomura would like to express its sincerest gratitude to its clients and all stakeholders for their unwavering support. In line with its Purpose—We aspire to create a better world by harnessing the power of financial markets—the firm will implement a wide range of 100th Anniversary initiatives to drive sustainable growth and create social value.
Kentaro Okuda, Nomura's President and Group CEO, said: “Today we proudly celebrate our 100th Anniversary, a significant milestone. Nomura started in 1925 with only 89 employees and has grown into a global team of approximately 28,000 people representing more than 90 nationalities. Throughout our history, we’ve strived to earn our clients'trust and to be a company that contributes to society.
“We are who we are today because we have continued to embrace change and take on new challenges.
“A symbol of our commitment to evolve is the ongoing renovation of our former Nihonbashi headquarters, known as the “Gunkan Building” for its battleship-like façade. While preserving the building's traditional exterior, we are using the latest technologies and expertise to transform the interior into a hub for value creation. This blend of tradition and innovation embodies Nomura’s path forward.
“Our Purpose is: “We aspire to create a better world by harnessing the power of financial markets”. As we look to the next 100 years, we believe the challenges each of us takes on will translate into value for society.
“This milestone is not a goal, but a new starting point. Together with our clients and all stakeholders who have supported us over the years, we will continue to take on challenges as we move into the next century. I look forward to your continued support.”
