………Initiatives for Realizing a Carbon Neutral SocietyAt MC, we believe that while climate change poses significant business risks, it also presents us with new business opportunities for innovation, disruption and growth. Accordingly, MC has set “Contributing to Decarbonized Societies” as one of its material issues as we strive to achieve sustainable growth.In shifting to a decarbonized society, it is necessary to formulate specific policies that take into account the actual conditions (energy and power mix, geographical conditions and constraints, stage of economic development, population, etc.) that differ from country to country and region to region, and to steadily implement them one by one. Through our global network of offices and MC Group companies, we work with a wide range of stakeholders around the world each day in developing our business. We utilize this network to accurately grasp individual issues and needs as we aim to realize a decarbonized society through the process of realizing solutions through businesses that connect internal and external know-how.In October 2021, MC formulated its Roadmap to a Carbon Neutral Society in which we declared our goal of achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2050. As an active player in a variety of industries, including resources and energy, we have formulated a number of goals and action plans in order to fulfill our responsibility to provide a stable supply of energy while striving to achieve a carbon neutral society. In order to achieve the GHG reduction targets (halve by FY2030 (FY2020 baseline), net zero by 2050) outlined in our “Roadmap to a Carbon Neutral Society,” as sustainability policies to address climate change, we have introduced mechanisms for simultaneously decarbonizing and reinforcing our portfolio while also classifying each of our businesses according to climate change-related transition risks/opportunities. In addition to the “Scenario Analysis,” which MC has been conducting for several years, MC has newly introduced the mechanisms of “Transform Discussions,” “Investment Planning in Accordance with GHG Reduction Plans” and “Evaluation of New Investments Using Assumptions Under a Decarbonization Scenario,” and has established an appropriate governance and risk management system to ensure that MC’s businesses are aligned with a 2050 net zero scenario in terms of both individual projects and company-wide business strategy.Classify businesses that face significant climate-related transition risks/opportunities as either “Green” or “Transform.”* Scope 3 Category 11: GHG emissions from the use of sold products●● 1.5℃ Scenario Analysis ●● ●● ●● Conduct an analysis of transition risks and opportunities based on 1.5℃ scenario.25Mechanisms for Simultaneously Decarbonizing and Reinforcing Our PortfolioMC Climate TaxonomyGreenTransformWhite (Other) Renewable Energy Green Hydrogen Natural Gas Metallurgical Coal Food Logistics Urban Development Mechanisms Guiding E■ortsTransform DiscussionMonitor the eƒects of transition risks on businesses at the management level every year, targeting those classified as Transform businesses, which are selected based on criteria such as the amount of Category 11* emissions, which account for the majority of MC`s Scope 3 emissions. Investment Planning in Accordance with GHG Reduction PlansAdopt a new process of confirming short- and mid-term GHG reduction plans when formulating investment plans. Evaluation of New Investment Using Assumptions Under Decarbonization ScenarioRefer to profit margin indexes (internal carbon pricing, etc.) using key assumptions under decarbonization scenario.Roadmap to a Carbon Neutral SocietyRoadmap to a Carbon Neutral SocietyClick here for detailsClick here for details
