Responsible Care Promotion System

In order to ensure our fundamental policies on environment and safety, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical has been promoting Responsible Care (RC) by all four internal companies and eight corporate divisions.
Every December, MGC regularly hold the environment and safety meetings, which are chaired by the president and consisted of all executive officers, division heads, plant managers and etc., as highest level meeting for sustainable improvement of RC activities through the PDCA cycle based on the mid-term targets and annual activity targets.

Based on the environmental and safety targets set up in our Overall Safety Management Rules and the fundamental policies, we make up our middle term plans for a 5-year period and annual activity targets of the entire MGC Group at the Environment & Safety Meeting. All of our sectors, workplaces being the main actors, plan concrete measures and activities, and do work to promote them. In the latter half of each activity period, the director in charge of the environment and safety holds the RC Promotion Report Meeting (RC audits) at each sector, and checks the results of activities, analyzes the activities and confirms the future subjects. According to the proceedings of RC, activity targets are reviewed by the management at the Environment & Safety Meeting, in order to reflect them in the activity plans for the following year leading to continual improvement (act).

PDCA cycle

In order to promote our RC activities effectively, we introduced the environmental management systems in 1997 and all of our plants acquired ISO 14001 certification in 2001.

*Naniwa Plant (acquisition in 2001) and Saga Plant are included.
