Mitsubishi honoured by CDP's water and climate A-List

Only 24 of 1,252 global candidates were selected and the selected Japanese companies were officially announced during the Japan Water Style Summit with CDP’s Japan Water Forum 2016, in Tokyo on 5^th December. Mitsubishi was also named to the CDP Climate 2016 A List for its excellent results in helping to reduce CO₂ emissions and mitigate climate change. This is Mitsubishi's first selection to either list.

Mitsubishi's recent water-management initiatives to help preserve the natural environment include:

• At every production site, managed and reduced the amounts of water withdrawn and discharged, and raised water-recycling rates.
• Shared its environmental management systems with suppliers to mitigate disasters, such as floods or droughts, and reduced the risks of procurement shortages in emergencies by working with multiple suppliers for virtually every item used in these systems.
• Continuously developed and supplied products and services for water purification, such as the Ozoniser system, which generates ozone to sterilise water instead of chlorine, and processing plants for fresh water and sewage.

Mitsubishi aims to become a green leader in advanced environmental technologies for diverse global businesses to help create affluent societies that offer sustainability combined with safety, reliability and comfort. The company’s Environmental Vision 2021 calls for creating low carbon societies, recycling-based societies and more respect for biodiversity. Mitsubishi is contributing to sustainable societies by reducing the environmental impact of production processes throughout its global value chain and by developing products and services that reduce environmental impact.
