Corporate Citizenship Activities
Creating an Inclusive Society
MCC agrees with the mission of the Japanese Para Sports Association of creating a vibrant, inclusive society and has participated in activities as an official partner since 2017.
By helping to further spread and develop sports for people with disabilities, we seek to contribute to the realization of an inclusive society that is healthy, both physically and mentally, and where each person’s individuality is respected.

Development and education for future generations
At various sites, the MCC Group conducts chemistry experiment workshops, provides on-site lessons at schools, and helps to educate students on careers to spark an interest in chemistry and science among children, who represent the next generation. Furthermore, we perform chemistry experiment shows for children at events held by the Yume Kagaku-21 Committee. (The Yume Kagaku-21 Committee comprises the Chemical Society of Japan; Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan; Japan Association for Chemical Innovation; and Japan Chemical Industry Association.)
Protecting the Global Environment
In line with our purpose, “Leading the realization of KAITEKI where well-being of people, society and the planet Earth will continue through innovative solutions,” we have long contributed to solving social issues through our businesses, such as the provision of the biodegradable biomass plastic BioPBS™.
In addition to the contributions we make through such business activities, we promote clean-up activities along the shorelines of oceans, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water to enable each employee to do their part voluntarily through corporate citizenship activities. This helps reduce the waste flowing into the ocean.

Engaging with communities to contribute development
At each site, we participate in local events, invite local residents to events at plants, and open our sports fields and athletic facilities to the public as part of our ongoing efforts to communicate with local communities.
Supporting regions hit by natural disasters
In and outside Japan, we provide monetary and material donations to areas affected by natural disasters. Within Japan, we also actively provide human support to affected areas, including through employee volunteering.
In 2024, monetary donations were made through the Japanese Red Cross Society to support the areas affected by the earthquakes on the Noto Peninsula in January and the Hualien earthquake off the eastern coast of Taiwan in April.
Going forward, we will continue to support recovery directly and the recovery initiatives of local residents.
