Sustainability in practice in Australia

• Contributing to Decarbonised Societies

  

  

  In support of Mitsubishi Corporation’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, we are actively seeking innovative solutions which will help Mitsubishi Corporation and society more broadly to decarbonise. Supporting start-up companies with cutting-edge decarbonisation technology is one example of our efforts in this area. We are also actively pursuing new opportunities in alternative energy such as renewables, hydrogen and biofuels.

• Growing Together with Local Communities

  

  

  Supporting education for First Nations children is one of the key focusses for our social contribution programs. We provide funding to partner organisations helping improve literacy in remote communities, offering comprehensive support for remote Indigenous students studying in major cities, and motivating young students to complete Year 12 education. Many of Mitsubishi Corporation’s business activities are based in remote regional centres, and we are committed to supporting these communities and their regional issues

• Conserving and Effectively Utilising Natural Capital

  

  

  Since 2012, Mitsubishi Corporation has supported a long-term partnership with Earthwatch Australia to advance research and restoration efforts in the Great Barrier Reef. Key outcomes include the removal of more than 2,500 kg of macroalgae and up to a 1,000% increase in coral cover in restoration sites, demonstrating the potential of a simple, low-cost approach to support reef recovery. This Impact Report highlights the achievements and impact of the partnership from 2012 to 2025.

• Fostering Vibrant Workplace That Maximise the Potential of a Diverse Workforce

  

  

  Our Human Resources framework empowers employee growth and well-being through leadership development, skill-based training, and a Global Mobility Program that fosters international experience and cross-cultural learning. We support holistic well-being via four pillars: Mental, Social, Physical and Financial; and offer diverse programs across each to support our employees. As a socially responsible organisation, we also provide volunteering opportunities that deepen community engagement and build awareness among employees about our social impact.
