The 10 Articles of Our Code of Conduct

CSR Declaration
Building Trust in the Mitsubishi Materials Group

Since its foundation, the Mitsubishi Materials Group has worked tirelessly to enrich society, by supplying basic materials indispensable to society as well as helping reduce environmental impact and fostering recycling-based social systems.

In order to execute our business operations in a more active and uniformed manner, the Management implemented "The Principles We Stand On" as the corporate philosophy and "The 10 Articles of Our Code of Conduct" for the realization of this philosophy.

Needless to say, the purpose of our corporate philosophy--"The Principles We Stand On"--is to clearly convey the sincere intentions of our Group companies and employees with regard to their contributions to society. I thus believe that the practice of this corporate philosophy in our daily operations is the foundation of our corporate social responsibility efforts. This will lead to not only sustaining our corporate development but also achieving a mutually beneficial coexistence with society.

In essence, we are returning to our roots, focusing on areas of improvement in order to earn the long-term trust of our shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, communities and many other stakeholders.

The Management and every employee will draw on the Group's mission to communicate more openly and effectively with stakeholders in its efforts to meet its social responsibilities and enhance enterprise value.

At the same time, we will disclose information in an appropriate and timely manner to fully demonstrate that the Mitsubishi Materials Group is an open and transparent organization.

I hereby declare that the Mitsubishi Materials Group will make every concerted effort to uphold its corporate social responsibility so that it can continue to help make the world a better place through its operations.
