Value Creation Stories

The MOL Group's value creation is based on the Group Corporate Mission ("From the blue oceans, we sustain people's lives and ensure a prosperous future"), which incorporates the following value creation story.

Source of Value Creation

MOL marked its 140th anniversary in 2024.

By bearing responsibility for marine transportation,

which is essential for resource-limited Japan,
we provide social value as infrastructure that
supports people's lives and receive rewards for them.
The pride we have in this business started
by our forebears has remained unchanged,

even as our business scope and scale has expanded globally.

In conducting our business, all Group employees globally, who hold such pride, uphold the Values and Code of Conduct (MOL CHARTS), which serves as the basis for our decision-making and consolidates and enhances the MOL Group's collective strengths. The Group's various strengths and capitals, including diverse human resources (human capital); advanced maritime, technical, and project management capabilities (intellectual capital); and strong partnerships with customers and society (social and relational capital) that we have cultivated in this way, represent our source of value creation.

Strategy/Actions

The Group's corporate management plan BLUE ACTION 2035 focuses on Three Core Strategies of the Portfolio Strategy, Regional Strategy, an Environmental Strategy, together with the Five Sustainability Issues (Materiality), representing important issues we must address to achieve sustainable development together with society. By addressing the opportunities and risks these bring across the Group, we will not only improve short-term profitability but also ensure sustainable corporate development.

Shipping Business: In the shipping business, we will strategically　capture high profits during favorable market　conditions, underpinned by stable earnings from　long-term contracts. We are also building a　decarbonized supply chain business model and　leading the industry as a first mover in order to be　chosen as the green partner of choice to realize a 　decarbonized society and establish a competitive advantage in new markets.

Shipping
strengths

Non-Shipping Business: In the non-shipping business, such as offshore　businesses, offshore wind power, cruises, and real property, we will leverage MOL's strengths, including network and project management know-how cultivated in the shipping business to date, to capture diverse stakeholder needs and opportunities, such as decarbonization and people's well-being and lifestyles, and aim to ensure stable earnings.

In carrying out the above, we will establish a more global business driving force and optimize our business mix to transform our business portfolio into one that can maintain profitability even during shipping market　downturns. By utilizing our initiatives for Sustainability Issues as a driver of business growth, we will also improve profitability, lower our medium- to long-term cost of capital, and increase our growth potential as a Company.

Created Value

Through this strategy, we aim to create economic value and make our source of value creation stronger and more resilient and at the same time create social value as the MOL Group's mission and responsibility to society, establishing a virtuous cycle of value creation. By　providing the value we create in this way to all stakeholders, we will increase our corporate value and realize the MOL Group Vision as a social infrastructure company that is growing globally beyond the shipping business.
