ESG Report 2023

Through its online Sustainability site, Mitsui Chemicals’ goal is to provide stakeholders with a deeper understanding of the Group’s efforts to realize sustainable growth in concert with society. The site shines a light on the Group’s three-axis management (economy, environment and society), with a focus on environmental and social initiatives. Taking advantage of the unique features of website, we have made every effort to post comprehensive details encompassing a wide range of areas including the Group’s policies, structure and systems, activities, and numerical data. In addition, plans are in place to issue the Mitsui Chemicals Group ESG Report by October in every year. This report is archived details on each fiscal year posted on the Company’s Sustainability site in PDF format.

* To understand more about our activities related to creating new value over the medium to long term, which is the Group’s aim, please also refer to the annual reports (Mitsui Chemicals Reports) that we have published with the aim of reporting comprehensively on the strategies of three-axis management and its achievements.
