Environment

Basic approach

Mitsubishi HC Capital has established the Sustainability Committee as an advisory body to the Executive Committee to promote sustainability-conscious management throughout the Group. We position environmental issues, most notably climate change, as one of our most important management issues and formulate and implement environmental plans accordingly.

Self-declaration of conformity with ISO 14001

Based on ISO 14001 standards, we introduced and have been operating our Environmental Management System (EMS) and improving our environmental performance continually since receiving third-party certification in 2001.
To formulate and implement a medium- to long-term management strategy in a timely manner by accurately understanding the recent global and social environmental changes, the Company shifted its EMS to self-declaration* of conformity in December 2023 and has confirmed the appropriate application of the system by monitoring the progress of environmental plans and responding to matters that must be complied with.
Incidentally, Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC have been certified under ISO 14001: 2015 by third-party certification.

• Self-declaration is one of the formal options according to the ISO 14001 standard, for companies to evaluate and satisfy the requirements of ISO international standards by themselves on their own responsibility, without depending on third-party certification.
