Prevention of Pollution: External Collaboration

As a member of the Japan Foreign Trade Council (JFTC), an industry association for Japanese trading companies, MC contributes to the formulation and execution of “The Commitment to a Low-carbon Society” advocated by the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren). In line with this plan, MC actively promotes the installation of energy-saving equipment to reduce energy consumption on a non-consolidated basis. In addition, as a member of the Sustainability Promotion Committee within the JFTC, MC participates in a variety of initiatives that include promoting environmental compliance, improving environmental performance, and sharing information about industry efforts aimed at creating both a low-carbon society and a recycling-oriented society. It is essential for companies to pursue sustainable growth while considering environmental impacts. The trading industry as a whole, not only MC, recognizes the role it must play from a long-term and global perspective, and is working to contribute through its business activities.
