Social

LTA（Learn, Think, Action）Project

We offer opportunities for participants of social contribution activities to learn about the activities in advance so that they can gain a thorough understanding of their significance before actually participating in them.
We encourage participants to learn, think, and act by themselves through participation in lectures and workshops held by experts on social issues related to the actual activities.

Welfare and HealthInternal Sales Event of Fair Trade Products

We began this initiative in fiscal 2023, aiming to help improve the lives of vulnerable manufacturers and workers in developing countries and other regions. Through this initiative, we encourage our officers and employees to raise their awareness on human rights, the environment, and other social issues, and take action to solve them.
This year as well, many officers and employees visited the event venue to buy fair trade products such as coffee, snacks, and cotton products. During the event, some employees also volunteered to help run the event together with the product sellers.

Welfare and HealthSupport for Artists with Disabilities: Artbility

Since 1998, we have sponsored the Artbility Awards, a program managed by the social welfare corporation Tokyo Colony, to support artists with disabilities, and conferred the Mitsubishi HC Capital Special Award. Artworks registered with Artbility are used in various publications and media by companies, municipalities, and other organizations, and royalties for using them are paid to the artists.
The Mitsubishi HC Capital Special Award is given in recognition of artists who share our pioneering, ambitious spirit and continuously take on bold new challenges. The recipient of the award is decided by a vote of employees. We provide further support for the artists by paying royalties for using their artworks on the top pages of our shareholder communications, ESG Data Book, and calendars.

EnvironmentFostering a Forest that Produces Less Pollen: The Forest of Mitsubishi HC Capital Group

We have participated in a project led by the Tokyo Development Foundation for Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries to foster forests that produce less pollen through corporate partnerships since fiscal 2019. This project aims to gradually replace varieties of Japanese cedar and cypress that release a great deal of airborne pollen with varieties of cedar and other trees that produce less pollen in the man-made forests of Tokyo’s Tama region. Since the first year of the planting, we have been continuing with our forestation work, such as weeding. In recognition of our contribution to forestation and allowing the forest to absorb 221.13t-CO2 through this activity, we received Forest Improvement Support Certification under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Tokyo Forest Improvement Contribution Certification System.
