This reflects the Group's determination to deepen its management, which to date has revolved largely around the economic, environmental, and social fields, and to position ESG concerns at the heart of its sustainability management. The Mitsui Chemicals Group aims to achieve sustainable development for itself and society by solving social challenges through our business activities.
