Basic Policy

Mitsubishi Chemical (MCC) has established the Environment and Safety Principles as well as Policies Related to Environment and Safety, and it implements activities related to process safety and disaster prevention, occupational safety and health, and environmental conservation.

Environment and Safety Principles

  1. Safety lies at the foundation of the company’s very existence, and ensuring safety is the company’s social responsibility.
  2. The company has an obligation to conserve and improve the environment and become an entity that is friendly to both people and the planet.

Policies Related to Environment and Safety

  1. We will comply with any and all rules and standards in our society, including corporate ethics in addition to applicable laws.
  2. We will pursue zero accidents and zero occupational injuries.
  3. We will reduce the environmental impact to prevent climate change and protect the natural environment.
  4. We will identify and reduce environmental and safety risks.
  5. We will educate our employees about environment and safety, so that they can act with awareness of their own responsibilities.
  6. We will communicate closely with society to enhance understanding and trust.
  7. We will continue making improvements by utilizing the latest technologies and available internal and external information.

MCC has established the MCG Group Basic Safety Behaviors, three behaviors for all employees to practice in order to prevent employee behavior-related accidents. We aim to foster an interdependent mindset throughout the organization; to this end, employees not only work to internalize the basic behaviors themselves, but remind one another and raise each other’s awareness.

MCG Group Basic Safety Behaviors

  1. Hold the handrail on the stairs
  2. Do not bring your hand close to a moving object
  3. Do not walk around while looking at something in your hands

Based on the above environment and safety principles and policies, every year, MCC creates a Group environment and safety action plan. The plan reflects the results of the previous year’s plan and audits and lays out yearly targets, policies and key measures.

Audits of Environment and Safety Activities

MCC conducts head office safety audits and head office environmental audits. We check and evaluate the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle for the Environment and Safety activities of the business units being audited from the perspective specified in the audit plan and direct that equipment renovation, revision of standards, and other necessary improvements be carried out. After the audit, we check and follow up on the status of improvements by the business unit audited.
