Commitment to Growth

October 2007 marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of Mitsui Chemicals. We commemorated this anniversary by creating Grand Design, our basic management framework for continued growth over the next 10 to 15 years. In order to achieve the long-term management goals of our Grand Design, we created a four-year Mid-term Business Plan, which started in fiscal 2009.

Progress on Three-axis Management

We report Mitsui Chemicals’ goals for continued growth and our results for fiscal 2009.

Grand Design

Grand Design is the basic framework for the management of the Mitsui Chemicals Group. It consists of our Corporate Vision, Business Plan, and Action Guidelines; its goal is continued corporate growth through management that balances the three axes of economy, environment, and society.

The 2008 Mid-term Business Plan (FY 2009-2012)

Under the 2008 Mid-term Business Plan, we will work to establish the three axes of economy, environment, and society, as well as create new value through innovative new technologies.

Three-axis Management

Our Grand Design and 2008 Mid-term Business Plan are not focused exclusively on economic aspects; rather, they lay out balanced business goals along three axes, including environmental and social aspects. Rather than emphasizing the economic axis only with priority on income, we are also focused on environmental awareness and contributing to society. We will improve our management while maintaining a balance between these three axes.
