Environmental Management System

The MOL Group views environmental issues as an important management topic, and it has established its environmental management system with the president & CEO as the chief executive officer. The Environment and Sustainability Committee, a subordinate group of the Executive Committee, serves as the main deliberative body on environmental initiatives and the Chief Environment and Sustainability Officer (Chairman; an Executive Vice President, Vice-Chairman; Chief Environment Sustainability Officer, CESO. As of Apr.2023). The Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of environmental initiatives, and makes decisions on particularly important matters such as reduction targets for environmental performance and specific strategies to achieve the reduction targets.
Our group's environmental management system, "MOL EMS21" has acquired ISO 14001 certification, and uses the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) cycle to promote continuous improvement. "MOL EMS21" defines the roles, authorities, and responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer (President) and the person responsible for environmental management (the chairperson of Environment and Sustainability Committee), and defines methods to comply with laws, regulations, and requirements in ISO14001 standards, and so on.
We will enhance the transparency of various environmental data to stakeholders inside and outside the company, through timely and appropriate disclosure, build trustworthy relationships, and improve environmental awareness through participation in and support of various environmental conservation activities including environmental education.
Aiming to achieve net 0 emissions across the entire Group by 2050, as set forth in the new MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.1 formulated in June 2021, we formed cross-company project teams led by the Technology Innovation Unit to implement a variety of strategies, including the introduction of clean alternative fuels, the introduction of more energy-efficient technologies, deeper efficient navigation, and the development of low-carbon businesses, in order to promote environmental initiatives.

Environmental Audit

Under MOL EMS21, which has been in operation since 2001, the division in charge of the environment conducts internal audits every year, and all offices and divisions within the scope of ISO 14001 certification are subject to the audits. (※) If any significant issues are found as a result of the audits, we implement measures for improvement, along with the division in charge of the environment, and confirm the effectiveness of the measures in the next year's audit, thereby striving for continuous improvement. The audit results are reported to the Environment & Sustainability Committee, which confirms that this system is functioning effectively.

In addition, to confirm the appropriateness of the environmental management system, DNVGL Business Assurance Japan K.K., an external third-party auditing organization, has been conducting regular audits once a year and renewal audits once every three years since 2003, and we maintain ISO 14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management systems.

Feedback from stakeholders is reviewed internally and used to improve our initiatives.
