Mitsui & Co.’s Key Sustainability Goals and the relevant focus areas are periodically reviewed in order to meet the changing needs and expectations of society. We reflect them in our Medium-term Management Plan and take into account those changes impacting the economy, environment, and society in our sustainability management.

Mitsui & Co.’s Key Sustainability Goals define our important management priorities for the achievement of sustainability growth.

The recent revision took into account both the perspective of various stakeholders in relation to the SDGs, international guidelines and ESG assessments as well as the viewpoint of impact on our business activities. In the process, consultations with out external directors and experts took place, as well as global surveys of officers and employees in which many of us from Mitsui & Co. Australia and our group companies in Oceania participated.

The Key Sustainability Goals represent risks and opportunities in relation to our business strategies from the medium- to long-term perspective. All officers and employees of Mitsui regard the said five sustainability goals as a set of medium- to long-term management priorities, and will work on those collaboratively in a united manner. Mitsui will continue to promote sustainability management, and from a well-balanced long-term perspective, will contribute, through our wide-ranging global business activities, to both sustainable economic and social development in various countries and regions throughout the world, as well as to the solution of global problems, such as climate change issues.
