MC’s Sustainability Promotion Framework: Disclosure (about the Sustainability Website)

Disclosure (About the Sustainability Website)

We believe that maintaining a cycle of timely and appropriate disclosure of our sustainability initiatives, based on stakeholder requests, gaining their understanding, and incorporating their feedback, is crucial. This cycle plays a key role in enhancing our corporate value over the medium to long term.

Disclosures are published on the Sustainability website after approval by the Chief Stakeholder Engagement Officer (CSEO) and reporting to the Disclosure Committee, which is a subcommittee of the Executive Committee.

The website was created to centralize ESG-related information that was previously disclosed through separate channels such as the Integrated Report and ESG Data Book. It enables us to respond promptly to increasingly complex requirements from ESG evaluation bodies and disclosure standards. The website is designed primarily for stakeholders with a strong interest in ESG investment. It is organized by ESG topic for easier reference and aligns with multiple ESG reporting guidelines. Disclosures can also be downloaded in a conventional report format as a PDF.

Looking ahead, we strive to ensure that our ESG disclosures serve as an effective communication tool that supports constructive stakeholder dialogue by improving clarity and incorporating valued feedback.

Collecting Sustainability Information on a Consolidated Basis

To fully capture qualitative and quantitative sustainability data, MC conducts annual surveys across all consolidated companies. Aggregated results are reported to management and used as a foundation for planning sustainability initiatives and related measures.

  • Selection of Target Companies for the Survey

    Target companies are determined by the Sustainability Department and relevant Section/Business Groups. In principle, the survey covers all consolidated companies, including subsidiaries, affiliates, joint operations, and joint ventures.

  • Survey Launch
    (March)

    Survey items include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water usage, waste, occupational health and safety data, expenditures for philanthropic activities, environmental management measures, and other management policies.

  • Survey Reporting

    Survey results are reported to management through the Sustainability Committee and/or other communication channels.
