Well-being (Health & Productivity Management, Occupational Safety and Health): Policy

MC, on a consolidated basis, has a global workforce of approximately 62,000 professionals, which represents our greatest source of value creation. "Fostering Vibrant Workplaces That Maximize the Potential of a Diverse Workforce" is one of the eight materiality themes MC addresses together with its operating companies. As our operations expand and globalize, we recognize the need for diverse talent representing all genders, nationalities, and backgrounds to fully leverage their capabilities and sustain corporate value creation. With this in mind, MC prioritizes improving employee Well-being by ensuring safe working environments and promoting health. Our efforts have earned continuous recognition as an "Outstanding Enterprise in Health and Productivity Management."

MC promotes initiatives around Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) management, tailored to the independence and capacity of each individual and organization. These include creating safe environments for employees and contractors, as well as health, labor and crisis management initiatives. We aim to build and operate management systems that go beyond simply meeting the legal requirements in the countries where we operate to provide support that is more substantial.

Several MC opearting companies have OSH management systems certified under ISO 45000. To promote OSH management throughout MC, we will develop an organizational framework, clarifying responsibilities and continuously monitoring progress to refine and improve our activities. Accordingly, we have established the following policy for operating companies:

MC has designated “Fostering Vibrant Workplaces That Maximize the Potential of a Diverse Workforce” as one of its materialities.

Our policies on occupational safety and health are designed to enable diverse talent to fully utilize their capabilities and approach work with enthusiasm.

MC responds rapidly to accidents and continuously raises awareness about safety while improving management systems. We also encourage health maintenance and illness prevention. In April 2024, we established the Wellness Partner Desk, staffed by occupational physicians, public health nurses, and psychologists.

For mental health, we provide counseling services both inside and outside the company, with specialists available at our medical clinic. MC also conducts regular online stress checks.

Recognizing the importance of managing environmental and social impacts in its supply chains, MC has established the Mitsubishi Corporation Policy for Sustainable Supply Chain Management, which requires suppliers to respect human rights and endeavor to provide their employees with safe and healthy work environments. In addition to sharing the policy with suppliers, MC conducts regular questionnaires to confirm compliance. While basic measures for occupational safety and health management are undertaken by each business, MC endeavors to strengthen this area throughout the supply chain. Such measures include supplier visit to confirm their activities when determined necessary considering the business and its location. Furthermore, MC makes efforts to strengthen occupational safety and health across its supply chain, including its own operating companies.

MC operates globally with a worldwide business network, and some of the countries where we do business face significant challenges related to health issues such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. MC’s policy is to proactively address these global health issues.
