Taking on the Challenge of
New Possibilities
Mitsubishi first appeared in history about 150 years ago. Our business started with shipping and has now
expanded into many fields through Japan’s modernization, postwar recovery, period of rapid economic growth
and globalization.
Today, the Group’s independently managed companies have inherited these
businesses and are working to realize a sustainable society in which people and nature are in
harmony.
The purpose of the Mitsubishi Public Affairs Committee is to maintain and improve
society’s trust in the Mitsubishi Group and related companies and to promote interaction among Group
companies through the Group’s PR activities.
The world is now facing a once-in-a-century period
of transformation. As the business environment surrounding the Group is also changing rapidly, PR
activities are becoming increasingly important to share information within the Group and ensure that
society understands the Group’s activities correctly.
We at the Mitsubishi Group would like to
show you how we approach the times and what we are doing to look toward the future.
