"Three Forms of Coexistence" that the Mitsubishi Electric Group Aims for
To realize an inclusive society, the Mitsubishi Electric Group has been promoting activities at the level of people with a focus on each and every individual, the level of society as an aggregate of local communities, and the level of the Earth, which is the foundation for all individuals and communities.
Promotion Framework
As part of the Group’s Sustainability initiatives, each Mitsubishi Electric Group company and business site is pursuing community activities to meet local needs.
