Participating in the UN Global Compact


The Global Compact emblem

MOL has participated in the United Nations Global Compact since March 2005. The Global Compact was first proposed by then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 1999 and formally initiated the following year. Member companies are required to support and practice 10 principles in four areas: human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. Sharing the same values as our Rules of Conduct, which was established as a set of guidelines for executives and employees, MOL's participation in the Global Compact signals internally and publicly our commitment to these principles. The MOL Group, which does business internationally, intends to work to raise awareness of CSR among employees in Japan and abroad by making the Global Compact widely known and ensuring that it is rigorously practiced.
