Procurement of CO2-Free Electricity for the Head Office Building

As part of efforts to contribute to ”Contributing to Decarbonized Societies”, one of MC’s Materialities, MC has switched to green power for the electricity procured for its Head Office building (the Mitsubishi Shoji Building). CO2-free electricity with environmental value (tracked non-Fossil Fuel Energy Certificates*1) is generated at a solar power plant invested in and operated by Mitsubishi Corporation Energy Solutions Ltd., which is engaged in the power generation business, and procured through MC Retail Energy Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the power retailing business. As such, electricity demand in the Mitsubishi Shoji Building is covered by renewable energy sources that also meet the requirements of RE100*2. From power generation to retail, MC Group companies work together to supply, procure and use renewable energy, creating environmental value by leveraging the MC Group’s comprehensive capabilities in the power value chain.
