Realize a sustainable global environment
The Group has formulated its Environmental Sustainability Vision 2050 to clarify the Group's stance on addressing long-term environmental issues. Based on this, we have engaged in activities since fiscal 2022 in line with our medium-term Environmental Plan 2023, and we aim to achieve carbon neutrality and a circular economy by promoting innovation in products and services, and by providing integrated solutions.
Reasons why it is important
Environmental challenges such as climate change and resource/energy issues are hurdles at a global scale. The Mitsubishi Electric Group will contribute to solving these issues with the aim of realizing a sustainable global environment.

Toward the achievement of carbon neutrality
The Mitsubishi Electric Group is working to achieve carbon neutrality from two aspects: responsibility and contribution. As we expand our business, our target is to achieve effectively zero greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations and carbon neutrality throughout our entire value chain by 2050.
Although in May 2022, the Company announced an interim target of "reducing our own emissions to 50% of fiscal 2014 levels by fiscal 2031," we changed the interim target in May 2023 to "aiming for effectively zero greenhouse gas emissions in fiscal 2031" in order to more proactively align with the global movement to keeping the global average temperature rise to below 1.5°C .
