Basic Policy

Mitsubishi Chemical carries out Responsible Care (RC) activities^*1, which are voluntary activities in the chemical industry for ensuring environmental conservation, health and safety. We aim to realize KAITEKI by pursuing RC activities in accordance with the Mitsubishi Chemical Group Charter of Corporate Behavior.

• *1Responsible care activities: Voluntary activities undertaken by companies that handle chemical substances to protect the environment, health and safety across all related processes, from the development of such substances to their manufacturing, distribution, use, final consumption and disposal. These activities also encompass the publishing of the results of such efforts and dialogue and communication with society.

Implementation Framework

Every year, the department responsible for overseeing RC activities drafts an RC activity plan. The contents are discussed and approved by the Environment and Safety, Quality Assurance, Product Safety, and Export Control promotion committees, on which executive officers, business unit representatives, and the heads of plants serve as members. Executive officers promptly share the approved activity plan with employees and direct that business offices and business units produce activity plans based on that plan. The department responsible for oversight of RC activities checks the plant and business unit activity plans and the status of implementation, and endeavors to improve all RC activities of Mitsubishi Chemical and its Group companies by providing support and instruction to improve them.
