Kawasaki Heavy Industries ( (JP:7012) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries has approved the issuance of new shares and zero-coupon convertible bonds due 2031 and 2033 via international offerings, with the 2033 issue positioned as the world’s first convertible bond aligned with Climate Transition Bond Guidelines. The fund-raising is designed to bolster its financial foundation and flexibility while supporting both near-term growth and long-term strategic investments.

Proceeds of about ¥92.7 billion from the equity offering will be directed to capital expenditures that expand and modernize production bases in Japan, including facilities for commercial aircraft, gas turbines, robotics and next-generation shipbuilding. The investments will emphasize advanced manufacturing technologies such as robotics, physical AI and mass production automation to enhance capacity, efficiency and value-added solutions for customers.

Approximately ¥101 billion from the convertible bond offering will be used by March 2031 to help build a liquefied hydrogen supply chain and further deploy physical AI across operations, including funding commercial-scale demonstration projects through subsidiary Japan Suiso Energy. The move underscores Kawasaki’s ambition to play a leading role in energy security and carbon neutrality, signaling a deeper commitment to transition finance and positioning the company as an early adopter of climate-aligned capital market instruments.
