PDF Version (PDF:289.5 KB)
TOKYO, February 7, 2025 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that the international nonprofit CDP1 has once again given Mitsubishi Electric its highest "A List" rankings for both Climate Change and Water Security activities. The top ratings recognize the environmental focus of Mitsubishi Electric's commercial activities and goals as well as the company's timely and appropriate information disclosure. Mitsubishi Electric has been named to the A List seven different times in both categories since 2016, and it has achieved the highest rating in each category for two consecutive years. Mitsubishi Electric, which has positioned sustainability as a cornerstone of its business, management philosophy and the company's environmental vision 20502, aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at its factories and offices by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2031 and throughout its entire value chain by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2051. In 2024, Mitsubishi Electric formulated its "Environmental Plan 2025"3 and it specifies simplified calculations for LC-CO2 4 emissions contributing to carbon neutrality and the circular economy as well as nature-positive5 targets contributing to the Japanese government's "30by30"6 initiative.
Mitsubishi Electric will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable global environment throughout the global value chains, energy-saving products and systems, and cutting-edge infrastructure.
