Mitsubishi Corporation is actively engaged in climate action, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As part of this long-term strategy, the company has committed to halving its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by FY2030, using FY2020 levels as a baseline. This ambitious target involves portfolio replacement, primarily through the divestment of thermal power assets. Additionally, Mitsubishi aims for a 100% non-fossil power generation portfolio by 2050. The company also has a near-term intensity target to reduce its emissions per total assets by 25% by 2030, compared to the year ended March 2017.
