Our sustainability management

In recognition of the importance of establishing a corporate structure capable of adapting to any changes in the business environment, the Mitsubishi Steel Group has adopted sustained and global growth based on the development of competitive businesses as its fundamental management policy. We aim to be a more reliable business by fulfilling our social mission, and we will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through dialogue with all stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, shareholders, employees, and local communities, based on our Corporate Philosophy, the Mitsubishi Steel Group Code of Conduct, and the Detailed Rules for Mitsubishi Steel Manufacturing Group Corporate Code of Conduct.

Our Sustainability Committee (chaired by the President & CEO) discusses priority topics concerning sustainability. Sustainability is also deliberated on by the Board of Directors, on a monthly basis in principle.
We have also established the Global Environment Committee, Carbon Neutral Committee, and ESG Subcommittee under the umbrella of the ustainability Committee, to promote sustainability initiatives across the Company, including assessments and management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities.

Our sustainability promotion structure

To promote our sustainability management more effectively, we have selected five priorities from themes identified along the axes of internal importance and external expectations for the Group and organized them based on their relationships to the 17 goals and 169 targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We are also reexamining and partially revising these priorities in light of considerations such as including contemporary social conditions and the changing business environment.
We will help establish a sustainable society while realizing sustained growth and increasing corporate value by further expanding and advancing these activities. See the corresponding pages of this Report indicated below for detailed information on individual initiatives.
