subsidiary Tamachi Building Co., Ltd. manages and operates five office buildings
of its own, located near JR Tamachi station. In keeping with the spirit of
MHI’s environmental policies and guidelines for Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR), Tamachi Building is working to protect the environment and support education
in a way that leverages the company’s business operations. Last fall,
it hosted a special event in Tokyo for 30 local nursery school children. The
children harvested sweet potatoes and learned about the environment while visiting
a garden located atop a building owned by the company. In the future, the company
will continue to cultivate a strong awareness of CSR among its employees while
actively seeking to contribute to the local community through programs like
this one. |

Mitsubishi
Corporation (MC) has donated solar power generation systems to Ethiopia’s
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MOARD) and the
installation of these systems has now been completed at locations
in two local farming villages. The systems are expected to boost
agricultural production by generating electricity for training
centers where farmers can learn modern agricultural techniques
and by enabling the refrigeration of medicines for livestock.
By promoting the spread of solar power, MC also hopes to help
preserve the environment and curb CO2 emissions, thereby paving
the way to sustainable development.
