CEO Message
The Mitsubishi Materials Group traces its roots to 1871, when Tsukumo Shokai, Mitsubishi's predecessor, entered the mining business. Since then, we have continually evolved to respond to changing times and shifting societal structures.
The modern economic system of mass-production, mass-consumption, and mass-disposal has given rise to an array of global-scale challenges, such as the depletion of key resources and global warming.
In order to solve these problems, the Mitsubishi Materials Group has established
"For people, society and the earth, circulating resources for a sustainable future" as Our Commitment.
We aim to make use of our strengths to build a recycling system for metal resources and realize growth throughout the value chain by expanding the scope and regions of our operations. We now collect, dismantle and separate used or discarded products from a variety of sources including recycling used copper products, recycling household electronics, recycling copper and precious metals derived from E-Scrap, recycling LIBs, and recycling tungsten and other materials from carbide tools. We then extract useful metal elements through processes such as smelting, and finally process and manufacture them into the high-performance materials and products which we supply to our markets.
In this way, while we are implementing the design and creation of a resource recycling system that circulates resources through its "vein" functions and supplies high-performance materials and products to our markets through its "artery" functions, our Renewable Energy business supplies all of these businesses with renewable energy which we produce, and we are also advancing GHG reductions with the goal of realizing carbon neutrality.
We embrace these challenges as we work to contribute toward building a sustainable society.
We ask for the understanding and support of our customers and trading partners, and our broader community, as we work toward these goals.
