MC’s Sustainability Promotion Framework: Promoting Sustainability Through Business

Promoting Sustainability Through Business

To continuously create societal and environmental value through its business activities, MC has established a framework that enables both corporate departments and Business Groups to proactively promote sustainability.

  • Following deliberations by the Sustainability Committee, the President and CEO, along with each Group CEO, hold Business Strategy Committee Meetings to discuss future strategies.
  • During these meetings, policies for businesses most impacted by climate change are reviewed against the results of MC’s 1.5℃ scenario analysis.

Sustainability Promotion Framework in Each Business Group
  • To embed and advance sustainability within Business Group initiatives, management personnel responsible for promoting business strategy in each Business Group have been appointed as Group Chief Sustainability Officers.
  • To promote collaboration across MC, meetings with Group Sustainability Managers are held as needed to share information and explain sustainability-related measures.

Incorporating Sustainability into Individual Projects

Screening process for investment and finance proposals
  • Framework for Project Proposals
    When screening investment and financing proposals, MC evaluates each project’s strategic significance in light of MC’s Materiality (its set of material issues). Identification of environmental and social risks and opportunities—including scenario analysis and carbon pricing impact analysis—is mandatory.
  • System for Screening Proposals
    Within the Sustainability Department, dedicated staff are assigned to each Business Group to provide support and conduct checks on environmental and social risks and opportunities for individual proposals, based on the latest external trends, stakeholder expectations, and international standards. Additionally, the General Manager of the Sustainability Department serves as a member of the Investment Committee, ensuring that decision-making incorporates specialized insight into environmental and social impacts.
