Environmental field
In the environmental field, MC recognizes climate change as an important issue to address and is working to reduce its own CO2 emissions as well as those of Group companies. In terms of businesses, in April 2010, MC established the Global Environment Business Development Group to undertake environmentally-conscious infrastructure projects. Through its activities in new energy, such as solar photovoltaic power generation, and its environmental, water, and power generation businesses, MC remains committed to helping realize a low-carbon, sustainable society.
In March 2008, MC established the CSR & Environmental Affairs Advisory Committee, which is made up of eight respected external professionals from various environmental and CSR-related backgrounds. This committee continues to meet regularly and offers wide-ranging advice on issues related to the environment, CSR, social contribution activities and other related matters.
Social Contribution Activities
MC also promotes a variety of social contribution activities in four key fields: ongoing social contribution activities conceived and conducted voluntarily by employees (Friendship Camp for Mothers and Children, etc.); programs that contribute to various regions around the world (Malaysia tree-planting program, etc.); activities in the public welfare and education fields (Exchange student scholarships, etc.); and activities related to art and culture (Mitsubishi Corporation Art Gate Program).
MC also believes that it is important for each and every employee to heighten their own awareness towards contributing to society. In order to help facilitate this enhanced appreciation, MC runs various programs that encourage employees to participate in volunteer activities.
