Message from the President

Our Purpose and Our Vision for 2035

The Purpose of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group is to lead with innovative solutions to achieve KAITEKI, the well-being of people and the planet.

In November 2024, we announced KAITEKI Vision 35 (“KV35”) as our new management vision as well as the Medium-Term Management Plan 2029, thereby clarifying the direction of our business on a medium- to long-term basis and making a commitment to achieving KAITEKI as our Purpose while also achieving our sustainable growth as an enterprise. Further, we uphold, “Solving social problems and delivering impressive results to customers with the power of materials as a Green Specialty Company” as our specific vision for 2035.

Five Business Focus Areas and Achievement of Growth

The environment surrounding us is rapidly changing, increasing the complexity of society. Amid such circumstances, it is critical for the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, which is operating in the chemical industry, to work for carbon neutrality and a circular economy toward the creation of a sustainable society. In KV35, in recognition of these important challenges that we should meet, we have specified the following five business focus areas, in which we can make effective use of the assets and know-how that we have accumulated to date.

Against this backdrop, we will accelerate a shift in our focus to high-performance materials and also take on the challenge of promoting innovation for green chemicals in order to become a global leader for the green transformation of the chemical industry. Building a stable supply platform for green chemicals is an extremely important challenge for us to meet, as it will directly lead us to the green transformation of high-performance materials, which are positioned in the downstream section of our business. On the other hand, for specialty materials, which are a driving force for the Group’s growth, we will intensively input resources in the fields where we can demonstrate our strength toward the enhancement of our profitability and the expansion of our business.

Upholding “Connect” as a Keyword

Toward the realization of KV35, we are upholding “Connect” as an important keyword. Accordingly, we will share technologies and expertise across our organizations and business areas and adopt a range of viewpoints to hit upon new ideas and speed up innovation. I have been communicating to employees the importance of taking actions with ownership based on my belief that individual employees can help the Mitsubishi Chemical Group provide new value that only the Group can offer by working as a team while demonstrating their respective strengths. Also, I think it is essential for the Mitsubishi Chemical Group to connect with external parties in order to meet the increasing complex social challenges before us as well as the diverse needs of customers. To this end, we will foster open innovation through industry-academia-government collaboration and promote co-creation with customers and other partners for the provision of optimal solutions for social problems.

Delivering Impressive Results with the Power of Materials

We will contribute to the solution of social problems and steadily grow its businesses as a “Green Specialty Company.” We will go above and beyond the expectations and trust of all our stakeholders including customers, shareholders, investors and employees and will deliver impressive results to the world with the power of materials. I hope you are looking forward to seeing how the Mitsubishi Chemical Group makes progress in the time ahead.

April, 2025
