Basic Concept of Social Contribution Activities

One of the MOL Group's sustainability issues (materiality) is "Human & Community-Contributing to the growth and development of people and communities," and we strive to coexist with everyone involved with the Group and promote the sustainable development and promotion of local communities. As part of that effort, we have established policies and priority fields for social contribution activities, and implement these activities with concerted effort throughout the group.

MOL Group Policy on Social Contribution Activities

Under the Corporate Mission of "From the blue oceans, we sustain people's lives and ensure a prosperous future," one of the group's codes of conduct is to take the initiative in addressing issues faced by society and to act responsibly.
We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and the achievement of UN-designated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as increasing corporate value by earnestly engaging in social contribution activities beyond the scope of our business in addition to social contributions through our core business to address various issues facing society.

In terms of specific activities, we have set "Marine Environment," "Next-generation Human Resources Development," and "Addressing Local Community Challenges" as priority areas, and develop activities suited to each country and region in which we are involved in our business, developing the strengths of our group. In addition, we strive to promote and improve the group's social contribution activities by disclosing the details of our activities and communicating with society.

Priority Areas

As a group engaged in ocean shipping and offshore businesses, we believe that our mission for ourselves and for future society is to work for the conservation of the marine environment, including biodiversity. We recognize the importance of conveying the maritime industry as an essential social infrastructure that supports our daily lives. Based on this belief, the group has set "Marine Environment (Protection of marine ecosystems and prevention of marine pollution," "Next-generation Human Resources Development (Providing maritime education opportunities)," and "Addressing Local Community Challenges (Solving problems in areas where we do business and providing support to those affected by for disasters and conflicts)" as priority areas, and proactively works on these issues by deepening cooperation with related NGOs, NPOs, and other organizations, local communities, research institutions, and others. We also intend to accumulate knowledge in these fields and pass it on to the next generation.

Community cleanup activities by group employees

The MOL Group proactively conducts cleanup activities in areas where its offices are located to protect the marine environment. By working in familiar places, we aim to provide opportunities to think about environmental conservation as a personal issue, as well as to promote interaction among participants and coexistence with the local community.

Maximizing the bounty of the ocean in the employee cafeteria

It is important to revitalize seaweed beds, also known as the "cradle of the sea," by effectively consuming fish that eat up seaweed and are said to be one of the causes of the "desertification of the sea," in other words, a decrease in seaweed beds. In a move to address this issue, the employee cafeteria offers a menu of these seaweed-eating fish. Through this effort at the cafeteria, we aim to contribute to the preservation of the bountiful ocean and the reduction of CO₂ emissions. The cafeteria also features a "Table for Two" menu, which aims to support developing countries by funding food donations.
