Furthermore, plans and measures related to GHG emissions reduction targets may be revised flexibly in accordance with developments related to technology, economic feasibility, policy/regulatory support, etc.*4 O–sets will not be made using avoided emissions.

Accordingly, we have identified “Contributing to Decarbonized Societies” as one of our core material issues in pursuit of sustainable growth. Transitioning to a carbon-neutral society requires the develop-ment of concrete, context-specific policies that reflect the unique con-ditions of each country and region—such as energy mix, geographical constraints, stage of economic development, and population. Through our global network of MC offices and Group Companies, we collaborate daily with a wide range of stakeholders to understand local challenges and needs. This enables us to co-create solutions by integrating internal and external expertise, driving progress toward decarbonization through our business activities. In October 2021, MC published its Roadmap to a Carbon Neutral Society, outlining our greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets: emissions halved by FY2030 (compared to FY2020 levels) and net zero GHG emissions by 2050.However, global geopolitical shifts and the rapid rise of AI have led to increased energy demand, potentially extending the timeline for full decarbonization. In this evolving landscape, the challenge of balancing stable energy supply with decarbonization efforts has become more crit-ical than ever.Despite these complexities, MC remains firmly committed to its GHG re-duction goals. As a key player in energy and resource-related industries, we will continue to advance low- and zero-carbon initiatives, contributing to the broader reduction of emissions across society.Portfolio ReplacementReplacement of High-Emission Businesses (e.g. expiration of coal-fired power contracts)Operational Reduction EŠortsRenewable Energy Procurement, Energy Eˆciency Improvements/DX, Fuel Switching, etc.New Growth-Oriented and Decarbonization-Focused InvestmentsTransition Energy (natural gas/LNG)Essential Metals for an Electrified Society (copper battery materials, etc.)Flexible and Reliable Power Sources in Response to the Imbalance of Electricity Supply/Demand (gas-fired power)Next-Generation Energy (SAF, low-carbon hydrogen, etc.)AvoidedEmissionMC Website Sustainability Page MC Website Sustainability Page Click here for detailsClick here for detailsGHG Emission Reduction Plan and Achievements to Date
