How will we adapt to a changing world?
Since its founding, Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) has contributed to industrial development through trading and investment activities based on the Three Corporate Principles: Corporate Responsibility to Society, Integrity and Fairness, and Global Understanding Through Business. Today, MC strives to achieve growth through business management model that relies on three core strengths: the collective capabilities to adopt a holistic view across numerous industries, the foresight to identify New Seeds of Growth, and the execution skills to achieve growth.
Business Management Model
Through its more than 130 Business Units and a global network of around 1,700 companies in 90 countries and regions, the MC Group has access to virtually every industry worldwide. Capitalizing on its collective capabilities to adopt a holistic view across numerous industries, it is shifting away from a mindset that looks simply to invest in past sources of growth. By leveraging its strengths to become more deeply involved in business management, the MC Group seeks to create new value by transforming its businesses, as well as to raise corporate value by reforming its business structures through consolidation and other means.
Management Professionals
The key to achieving this shift from a business investment model to a business management model will be in developing and producing an even larger number of highly skilled management professionals who are able to respond flexibly to the changing business environment and who proactively engage in managing businesses. MC will pursue companywide initiatives to develop its management professionals, and through the businesses they create, MC will in turn be contributing to both society and the growth of the company. We are working to enhance the corporate value of the MC Group by achieving this virtuous growth cycle.

What transformations are needed to address the challenges of society?
Throughout its history, MC has leveraged its collective capabilities, foresight and execution skills to promote business activities in line with its guiding philosophy, the Three Corporate Principles.
By simultaneously generating economic, societal and environmental value in addressing the needs of society through our business, we create corporate value while helping to build sustainable societies.
Digital Transformation
In today's modern era, with the pace of digitalization accelerating, the transformation of traditional business models is being demanded across every industry. Against this backdrop, MC specified the strengthening of its digital strategies as one of the main themes of Midterm Corporate Strategy 2021, resulting in the implementation of over 70 DX-related projects in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. By combining our industrial expertise with digital technologies in projects that span multiple industries, we aim to address the needs of society through business model transformation.
Energy Transformation
With Europe leading the way in global decarbonization efforts, Japan also aims to achieve carbon neutrality and a decarbonized society by 2050. The MC Group has been deeply involved in securing a stable supply of energy for Japan, which has limited natural resources. As a company that has always worked to fulfill its social mission in this area, we must adapt to current trends with a heightened sense of responsibility and determination. We will actively pursue EX with the aim of meeting the challenge of addressing environmental issues while also fulfilling our social mission to ensure a stable supply of energy.
