Chemicals management

The Mitsubishi Chemical Group cooperates in activities to spread product stewardship promoted by the chemicals industry as a member of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA). As part of such activities, the MCG Group has been proactively participating in initiatives to tackle global issues related to microplastics in recent years.
Furthermore, with respect to new chemicals management beyond the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) 2020 goals (aimed at minimizing the significant negative impact of the manufacturing/use of chemical substances on human health and the environment by 2020), we are seeking to not only resolve environmental and social issues as a chemicals manufacturer but also contribute toward the sustainable development of society and our planet Earth, in order to realize KAITEKI pursued by the Mitsubishi Chemical Group.
