Message from the President

Creating value to share with society and
realizing sustained growth

Technology and society continue to change at a tremendous pace, while unexpected events and innovative technological advancements are occurring around the world. In this environment, the Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC) Group’s mission is to contribute to social development and harmony based on its original technologies. We face a myriad of challenges: from climate change, resource and energy problems, and a declining birthrate and aging population to medical and food safety, IT technology advancement, and the accelerating diversification and change in customer needs. To meet these challenges, we have constantly strived to create new technologies and value, growing together with society in the process.

Going forward, the MGC Group will contribute to resolving social issues in several ways, including creating and providing chemicals and materials such as circular carbon methanol (Carbopath^TM), hydrogen peroxide, high-performance engineering plastics, meta-xylenediamine (MXDA), and MX-Nylon, as well as materials needed for developing and building the society of the future, such as electronics chemicals, optical materials, and IC plastic packaging materials. In addition, we will develop a wide range of businesses to meet needs in the areas of medicine and food, including medical packaging materials (OXYCAPT^TM) and oxygen absorbers (AGELESS^TM). We will also provide the value required for building the society of the future in terms of carbon neutrality and other aspects, through our energy resources business, including geothermal power generation and CCUS (Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage), and life science solutions products related to biotechnologies, such as antibody drugs.

In order to realize sustainable growth even amid increasingly immense changes in society caused by the high-level development of new technologies such as AI and DX, it is important that we do not allow ourselves to be bound by conventional parameters, but create, foster, and evolve new businesses. In this way, we will aim to grow organically, resolving social issues that emerge in the future and supplying new value through new business domains. Naturally, a major precondition to achieving this is the ability of our colleagues, those within the Company and at Group companies, to work with a positive mindset and fully leverage their individual talents. We believe that developing and incorporating the capabilities of each individual will result in significant growth for the Company.

Under its Mission of “creating value to share with society,” the MGC Group will create social value along with economic value and realize sustainable growth.
I look forward to your continuing guidance and support in this endeavor.

President and Representative Director
