Roadmap to a Carbon Neutral Society

Today, there is an urgent need for decarbonization initiatives in response to global climate change.
The Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) Group will continue to fulfill its responsibility as an active player in industries including resources and energy by maintaining a stable supply of energy, such as natural gas, while working to achieve a carbon neutral society.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Reduction Targets

Halve by

FY2020

(FY2020 baseline)

We will utilize every means available to halve our GHG emissions, including by replacing assets, switching operations to renewable energy and alternative fuels, and achieving energy savings through digital transformation.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Reduction Targets

Net Zero by

2030

We aim to achieve net zero GHG emissions by leveraging our global network and diverse presence across a wide range of industries to drive industrial transformation, as well as by embracing new technologies and innovation.

  • *1The above figures represent Scope 1, 2, and 3 (Category 15) based on the financial control approach. (For details on the calculation method, please refer to the "Sustainability Website.")
  • *2 FY2020 is set as the new baseline, as it provides the most accurate affiliate data that was previously unavailable, e.g. Scope 2 market-based method emissions.
  • *3 In the event that emissions reduction targets are not able to be achieved despite active reduction efforts, we will consider offsetting residual emissions through internationally recognized methods including carbon removal (e.g., carbon credits).
