MC maintains a global operational presence through its corporate staff and its seven business groups. Creating new value and contributing to the enrichment of society through our business activities is one of the main principles underpinning the capacity of MC to help create sustainable societies.
MC uses its domestic and international networks to engage in a wide range of businesses encompassing such domains as energy, metals, machinery, chemicals, foods and materials. We do more than just trade and manufacture products; we also provide a comprehensive menu of services that integrates financial, information, distribution and marketing functions. In addition, we are active participants in areas such as resource and project development. Business investments, which account for more than 70% of our earnings, are an area in which we proactively take on risk as we develop new businesses.
One of the significant aspects of MC's business is the "value chain," which is a mechanism that enables us to add new value during the flow of a product through development, procurement, production, sales and after-sales servicing. MC is involved in the entire value chain in many different business domains, and it is this ability to understand and manage the whole chain that underlies our business approach and enables us to develop high value-added businesses.
