CSR in the Mitsui Chemicals Group
Framework for the creation of a “good and trustworthy company”
Our CSR Committee is chaired by the President and is responsible for formulating and reviewing plans and policies relating to CSR activities within the Mitsui Chemicals Group. This includes our Key CSR Challenges, which provide the basis for individual organizations throughout the company to formulate and implement their own plans.
Whereas the CSR Committee has previously concentrated on safety in the workplace, environmental health, and governance, we intend to shift focus onto active initiatives as part of our business operations. As such, membership of the CSR Committee was extended to include the heads of all divisions within the company (Directors and General Managers) from fiscal 2011 onwards.
Having set up supervisory CSR departments at each of our sites, branches and affiliates, we are working to promote CSR in line with their respective characteristics, whilst also reinforcing collaboration within the group.
CSR Promotion Framework
Efforts to improve awareness and conduct as a “good and trustworthy company”
In order to retain the trust from society and meet their expectations, we have identified the following three “Essential Principles” based on our Action Guidelines and are committed to putting them into practice on a companywide scale.
- Adopt a proactive, outward-looking attitude
- Think for yourself and take on new challenges
- Maintain mutual trust and solidarity
In terms of specific initiatives, we organize dedicated Two-Way Communication Discussions to discuss what we can do to create a “good and trustworthy company” and what action needs to be taken. We also provide support to facilitate open, two-way discussion via our CSR Supporters, a team of communication leaders in each organization, led by the relevant line manager.
Through initiatives such as these, we are working to create an organizational culture that is determined to continually generate new value, with an emphasis on our stakeholders and society as a whole.
