Social contribution activities

We carry out a range of activities in accordance with the Mitsui Chemicals Group Social Activities Policy.

The Mitsui Chemicals Group is committed to facilitating social development and helping to resolve issues facing society through a range of initiatives under our Social Activities Policy, including initiatives suggested and organized by employees themselves. We believe that we can effectively help to resolve social issues by harnessing our strengths and unique characteristics as a chemical company. With that in mind, we incorporate our chemical technologies and products into a wide range of activities, from chemistry lab classes to disaster relief efforts and even desert greening experiments.
We encourage our employees to get involved in social contribution activities and operate a donation fund that is run by employees on a voluntary basis.

Goals and Results

Goals for Fiscal 2011

  • Establish a framework to enable social activities and programs to be implemented across all regions
  • Focus on effective technologies in desert greening experiments, and reinforce collaboration with other companies and organizations

Fiscal 2011 Results and Assessment

Level achieved: A

  • Established the necessary framework to enable “Adventure Class in Wonder-Chemistry” lab classes to be planned and implemented for the benefit of future generations at individual sites in line with local needs

Level achieved: B

  • Set up a test site in the outskirts of the Chinese city of Tongliao in 2009 and conducted experiments over a two-year period from fiscal 2010 to 2011 to collect data in support of effective technologies for the use of salt-damaged soil. Made some progress in terms of collaboration with other companies and organizations dealing with similar issues, including opening up the test site for shared use by other NGOs, but failed to achieve specific results with regard to collaboration with other companies.

Priorities for Fiscal 2012

  • Determine the effectiveness and sustainability of technologies for desert greening experiments
  • Increase the number of employees taking part in social activities, including through membership of the One-Coin Club voluntary fund
