Environmental Management System

In order to address important environmental issues such as climate change countermeasures, environment preservation, biodiversity conservation, and air pollution prevention, as well as issues related to sustainability in general more quickly and flexibly, in April 2021, we renamed the Environmental Management Committee to the Environment and Sustainability Committee and expanded its scope of responsibility. We also established the Environment and Sustainability Strategy Division as a specialized organization to oversee our overall environmental and sustainability activities. The Board of Directors is responsible for oversighting environmental initiatives, and makes decisions on particularly important matters.

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.

Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) System

The MOL Group introduced an internal carbon pricing (ICP) System to qualitatively evaluate the impact of carbon pricing costs in anticipation of the future and incorporate this impact in business decisions such as investments. This will promote the group's low-carbon and decarbonization business and measures to offer low-carbonization and decarbonized services, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our business activities and from society at large.

Set price Adopting the Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS) level announced by International Energy Agency: About US$60/CO2-ton in 2025 and about $140/CO2-ton of in 2040
Target Businesses, investments associated with GHG emissions
Manner of utilization Use an economic index that applies internal carbon pricing for GHG emissions as a reference for investment evaluation.

Environmental Management System

ISO14001

To precisely grasp and manage the environmental risks and opportunities in our businesses, we established the environmental management system MOL EMS21 in April 2001, and since then we have made ongoing efforts to improve it. Every year, Environment Office conducts an internal audit based on MOL EMS21. The chairman, who is responsible for environmental management, receives the results of the internal audit and confirms whether the system is functioning effectively.

We also have a third-party audit by DNV GL Business Assurance Japan KK every year, and a renewal audit every three years, and have earned ISO14001 certification for our environmental management system. Based on the results of internal and external communications, internal audits, and external audits, we take corrective actions to promote continuous improvement.


MOL Environment Database

We have introduced the MOL Environment Database for consolidated subsidiaries in Japan and overseas. We use Eco Track, a SaaS-type environmental management information service, to collect environmental impact data (Fuel consumption, electricity, paper, waste, etc.) from each company once a year.

Number of target companies 40 in Japan 31 overseas
