MC’s Sustainability Promotion Framework: Dialogue with Stakeholders (Incorporating External Perspectives)

MC places great importance on identifying and appropriately addressing the evolving demands of society. We engage in direct dialogue with investors, including shareholders and NGOs, and hold discussions with local communities on individual projects. In addition, MC conducts supply chain surveys as part of its supply chain management. We regard constructive dialogue with all stakeholders as essential and incorporate input from these discussions into our policies and actions. This approach is vital to achieving of sustainable, medium- to long-term enhancement of our corporate value.

MC engages in sustainability dialogues with investors, NGOs, and NPOs through events ranging from international conferences to one-on-one meetings, as well as ESG-focused discussions with institutional investors. These meetings provide valuable insights into stakeholder perspectives, including expectations regarding our strategies for transitioning to a low-carbon and decarbonized society and our policies related to individual fossil fuel projects. MC carefully considers this feedback and strives to disclose response measures and policy updates in a timely and appropriate manner.

To better understand global environmental and societal trends, MC has established sustainability departments in Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, and other regions to coordinate and share information. MC is also a signatory of the UN Global Compact and a member of environmental organizations such as the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
