Mitsubishi Materials Corporation ("MMC") has been awarded the Theme Prize (Circular Economy Award) in the Environmentally Sustainable Category of the 6th ESG Finance Awards Japan, sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment.

The ESG Finance Awards Japan, which is intended for promoting and expanding ESG financing, commends advanced initiatives taken by institutional investors, financial institutions, intermediaries, companies, and other organizations that positively impact society by actively engaging in ESG financing or environmental and social efforts.

The Environmentally Sustainable Category is designed to show investors and companies specific examples of companies that incorporate responses to "key opportunities and risks related to the environment" into their management strategies to produce positive environmental outcomes while enhancing corporate value.

MMC received the Circular Economy Award in recognition of our efforts to utilize our unique technology and global network to recycle E-Scrap (waste circuit boards from electronic devices), thereby minimizing resource consumption and reducing waste generation.
MMC was also highly praised for playing a central role in the E-Scrap business by leveraging our strengths, incorporating this into our long-term value creation story, and aligning our growth strategy with the transition to a circular economy.

MMC Group has established "Our Commitment" as "For people, society and the earth, circulating resources for a sustainable future." MMC will continue to proactively engage in ESG activities to continuously enhance our corporate value.
