TOKYO — Tokio Marine Asset Management left an environmentally focused investor group at the end of Febru, Nikkei has learned, marking the first exit by a major Japanese player amid growing headwinds on global efforts to combat climate change.

Tokio Marine Asset said it made the decision after reviewing the purpose of its membership, including whether participation in the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative was helping solve societal challenges.
