Since FY2023, when we started publishing the Integrated Report, we have adopted a motif of a butterfly for the front cover. This is because we thought it is indispensable to keep"growth and departure from the status quo"in order to realize Mitsubishi Kakoki Group's Management Vision for 2050.
In addition, beginning with the FY2024 Integrated Report, we are using a newly commissioned artwork by an artist from the Shougaisha Jiritsu Suishin Kikou Association (operated by Paralym Art), which we have been supporting as a partner since April 2024.

Value Creation Story of the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group
Leveraging the technologies we have nurtured since our founding as one of our greatest strengths, we achieved the medium-term management plan.

In the second stage of our"Evolution and Transformation,"we are dedicating ourselves to the green transformation (GX) business and working as a united group to

Toshikazu Tanaka
Representative Director, President and CEO
Strategy by Business
Looking back on the history of Mitsubishi Kakoki and how it has created value
Our company was founded in 1935. At that time, the state-of-the-art chemical machinery that was so vital for Japanese society was being imported from Europe and the United States. Our company was launched out of a desire to manufacture the machinery here in Japan.
During the war, importing goods into Japan became difficult, so we began developing oil purifiers. We delivered our first oil purifier in 1940. Our oil purifiers then came to be used not only in Japan but overseas as well, and we have continued manufacturing oil purifiers to this very day, commanding the top market share for these devices.
In the post-war recovery period, as Japan struggled with energy shortages, we constructed energy-related plants such as gas purification plants. In the period of rapid economic growth, we built numerous chemical plants and other facilities to meet strong demand. At the time, pollution was a major problem facing society. Our flue gas desulfurization technologies and factory wastewater and sewage treatment technologies were used to produce cleaner air and water. We dedicated ourselves to environmental conservation and achieved great results.
Since our company was founded, we have carefully cultivated our core technologies for "separating solids, liquids, and gases."We have kept a close eye on the dramatically changing social environment and developed and launched new
products that use our core technologies to meet society's needs. We have maintained this business model throughout our 90-year history.
The business we do supports society's infrastructure, and much of it also assists with environmental measures, so our business activities themselves contribute to the SDGs. We also happen to have a long history of practicing CSV (Creating Shared Value) management, which sees social issues as business opportunities.
Strengthening Value Creation and Foundations to Support Value Creation
In 2035, we will be celebrating the 100-year anniversary of our company. In preparation for that, in 2021 we formulated the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group's Management Vision for 2050.
Corporate Data
In formulating this vision, we placed the employees who will be responsible for the management of the next generation in a central position in order to lay out the path for long-term development with an eye toward 2035 and 2050 as its final year of achievement. As part of the formulation process, we administered a questionnaire to all employees. We foresaw five social issues as being social issues in 2050: CO2 emissions and climate change, circulation of resources, water and food, natural disasters, and labor shortage.
What can we do to address these issues? Through discussions, we identified four strategic business fields:"business for realizing a recycling society,""clean energy business,""business of saving labor and energy,"and"business of

developing next-generation technologies."In these new business fields, we can develop new applications and provide greater added value using the technologies we have nurtured through our long history.
By combining our existing businesses with a business based primarily on these new business fields, we aim to double net sales from the 2021 level by 2035 to 100.0 billion yen and achieve an operating profit ratio of 7 to 8%. The plan's
Foundation to rapid economic growth period
ambitious vision is to reach our targets by generating half of our net sales from these new business fields and by pursuing our existing businesses.

We see them as important benchmarks in growing and achieving our ideal state for 2050.

sales growth during the new medium-term management plan period. This has been an unprecedented success, so I think that the medium-term management plan is one deserving of recognition.
Value Creation Story of the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group
Having completed the previous medium-term management plan and looking back on it now, we can see that we have achieved tremendous growth as we feel a sense of accomplishment by achieving the targets we predicted would be hard to reach. I believe that part of this is because of our efforts to transform our corporate climate, which we spent a large amount of time on.
We established the Committee for the Promotion

of Organizational Climate Reform in 2014, and this committee has engaged in countless activities already. In the past, our company's climate was one that prioritized closely guarding our current position over taking on new challenges. Our corporate culture was not very conducive to the bottom-up sharing of ideas, and divisions were very inward-looking, with few people being interested in the work being done by other divisions.
We knew that we needed to change this first, so we created opportunities for dialogue, such as "workplace meetings."We implemented multiple measures for creating a more frank and open corporate climate-a climate that revitalized communication, in which people did not blame others, and in which people felt safe reporting failures.
One concrete example would be the"Sanzuke
and the head office. Many of the employees who were transferred to the head office had been working in the Kawasaki Works since they were hired, so there were a good number who expressed hesitation about the move.
Growth Strategies to Realize the Management Vision
Strategy by Business
However, the head office was relocated near JR Kawasaki Station to provide greater mobility, which shortened commuting times and changed the daily lives of employees, leading to a change in their perspectives and mentalities. Consolidating sites increased interaction between divisions, which eliminated the sense of awkwardness and standoffishness between them. This new organizational structure came to be seen as normal. I think that this was one of the factors behind the change in our corporate climate.

We live in an age of increasing political, economic, and geopolitical uncertainty, facing issues such as US tariffs and the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East. To maintain sustainable growth in the midst of this environment, it is important that we prepare for every eventuality. We see these changes in the business environment as being positive ones. The heightened interest in the environment, in particular, presents major business opportunities, and there is a movement of further fleshing out our four strategic business fields.
The previous medium-term management plan (FY2022-FY2024) was positioned as a period of building the foundations of our efforts to realize our
management vision. We worked to establish a new

Orders from Nippon Steel Corporation of large hydrogen production equipment for the demonstration of hydrogen reduction-based steelmaking were particularly large contributors, and our orders received reached new records in the second year of the medium-term management plan. We also received orders from JFE Steel Corporation for seven HyGeia-A compact on-site hydrogen generators. The hydrogen generated with the HyGeia-A is used to convert CO2 in exhaust from steelmaking blast furnaces into methane. These units were supplied for use in demonstration equipment that performs carbon recycling by using

I also think we started to show signs of change with the opening of the head office in 2021. Prior to that, we had three sites in the Kawasaki area, and every day people would travel to and from between them as needed. We consolidated that in two sites: Kawasaki Works, where our company was founded,
However, we have recently begun stepping up our efforts to increase Mitsubishi Kakoki's brand value, including improvements related to recruiting, IR, employee motivation, and employee engagement.

In the fiscal year ended March 2025, orders received were 64.9 billion yen, net sales were 59.2 billion yen, and the operating profit ratio was 9.6%.

We also built up a large order backlog, so there is high potential for
We recently announced our new medium-term management plan (FY2025-FY2027). We established a green transformation (GX) business, positioned the plan period as"3 years for a leap forward"toward realizing the management vision, and set numerical targets of 90.0 billion yen in net sales, an operating profit ratio of 9% or higher, an ROE of 12% or higher, and a PBR of above 1. These targets are the highest we have ever set.
As measures to accomplish this, we have defined four key points: the evolution of our business portfolio, the establishment of management conscious of cost of capital and stock prices, stronger human and technical capital, and improvements in the transparency of corporate governance.
Corporate Data
With respect to the"evolution of our business portfolio,"we brought together the strategic fields

of the management vision-realizing a recycling society, clean energy, saving labor and energy, and developing next-generation technologies-to create a new reporting segment, the GX business segment.
Until now, our engineering business and industrial machinery business were siloed, and each business division conducted their sales activities separately. In 2024, we established our Sales Division, and since then we have taken a unified Mitsubishi Kakoki group approach to our customers. The GX business is not siloed, but instead has a sales structure that spans both the engineering business and industrial machinery business.
For example, the technologies we have long used to manufacture hydrogen can also be applied to new applications, like methanation or hydrogen reduction-based steelmaking in the steelmaking field. The approach used by our GX business is one of applying technologies in all kinds of areas, developing new applications, and contributing to the creation of a carbon neutral society. There is no focus on parent company or subsidiary, or on direct division or indirect division. We are all working together, sharing the same values and working toward the same ambitious targets.
We will focus particularly on the"business for
realizing a sustainable recycling society,"which includes effective use of biogas and CO2 capture, and"hydrogen-based clean energy business,"which includes leveraging hydrogen, as fields for quick wins. By investing 3.0 billion yen in R&D, we are aiming to create 23.0 billion yen in net sales in the GX segment during the new medium-term management plan period, and we are actively promoting business operations to turn GX business into a core business that accounts for over half of our net sales by 2035, the 100th anniversary of our company's establishment.
At the same time, we have positioned the engineering business and the industrial machinery business, which are our fundamental businesses, as mature businesses in which we will leverage differentiation and competitiveness to improve profitability. In addition, we have adopted ROIC as a profitability indicator and we are reviewing and rebuilding our low profitability businesses. Even for businesses we have been engaged in for many years, if profit levels are low, at some point we must reassess them. We set standards and, every six months, use them as filters to make decisions and reallocate resources.
The percentage of our workforce that is made up of women is steadily rising, but women in our company primarily work in indirect divisions. We plan to increase the number of women active in our direct divisions, such as our industrial machinery business and engineering business, and eventually have them take on management positions.
We aim to improve our employee engagement score by three points or higher compared to the previous medium-term management plan. But quantitative improvements are not the only thing that is important. It is also important that the people who work here live rich daily lives. We will provide even more opportunities for face-to-face discussions with employees, such as town hall meetings.
Through this, we hope to provide them with a solid understanding of the new medium-term management plan and to deepen communications in order to foster a rich corporate climate and build our workplace environments together.
Of the four key measures of the new medium-term management plan, I believe that "improvements in the transparency of corporate governance"is especially important. There are countless examples that show that no matter how good a company's business results may be, a single scandal can cause the tables to turn completely.
Value Creation Story of the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group
We must fulfill our governance functions by ensuring that each internal control system, such as our Board of Directors, operates effectively and by performing monitoring.
Growth Strategies to Realize the Management Vision
During the previous medium-term management plan period, we increased the number of External Director positions by one to bring in even more outside perspectives. Furthermore, we increased the number of women on the Board of Directors, which numbers 11 people in total, from one to three, creating a system with a greater focus on balance and diversity.
Strategy by Business
Solid governance and the rich daily lives of our employees are the foundation for sustainable growth
With respect to the"establishment of management conscious of cost of capital and stock prices,"we will further intensify our IR and SR activities, promote more accurate assessments of our company, and raise expectations for our growth.

We are currently prioritizing growth investment as we work toward the 2035 targets we have set as benchmarks in the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group's Management Vision for 2050. We will increase shareholder return while keeping a close eye on the balance of investment and financial soundness. We have set a payout ratio target of 40% for the final fiscal year of the plan, with a DOE of 3.5% as a minimum dividend level.
To create"stronger human and technical capital," we will reinforce our human resource portfolio management and our development of human resources who contribute to the promotion of the GX business. To promote employee diversity, we have set a target of having 20% or higher of employees be women, and we are actively hiring women and appointing them to management positions.
We are currently carrying out construction work in
preparation for the restructuring of our head office and the Kawasaki Works. This work is progressing steadily, and we expect to finish it in February 2027. The site is an important one. It is the soul of our company, the place where we have been developing and manufacturing our diverse products since our company's foundation in 1935.
This new construction will not simply consist of the rebuilding of an aging facility. Instead, we see the new facility as becoming the heart of our corporate group, a place where we carry out R&D focused primarily on the GX business field, appointed with substantial equipment, where we can create exceptional new technologies.
The factory experimentation building will be our site for developing existing and new technologies. It will combine multi-purpose experimentation and research fields for co-creation and synergy with external institutions. The office and research building will use distinctive designs for spaces that promote diverse workstyles and support voluntary, autonomous, self-motivated activities, the building's
cafeteria, meeting rooms, and other facilities. Our

goal is to create a place where employees can relax and where they can engage in rich communication that produces diverse new ideas.
I joined our company roughly 40 years ago, during a period when it was really struggling, and there have been a lot of twists and turns as we have come to where we are today. Even in the context of that background, I feel that these next few years will be our company's greatest period of transformation. In today's society, if you stop for even a moment, you could be left far behind.
Corporate Data
Starting from zero requires a lot of courage. That is why the most important thing in this society is the endurance to keep pushing forward without stopping.
We are putting our words into practice. The ambitious targets we have set in the new medium-term management plan, which we launched this fiscal year, are based on this. I am confident that we will continue to grow, and this year will be the first year of that dramatic growth. We invite you to look forward to our future endeavors.

In order to realize the management vision, we will enhance strategic investment and secure a foothold for creating new business as the first step toward evolution and transformation.
Policy of the Medium-Term Management Plan
(April 2022 to March 2025)
In summary, we achieved the business goals (e.g., net sales and operating profit ratio) and financial goals (e.g., ROE and payout ratio) set for the final fiscal year.
In the fiscal year ended March 2024, the amount of orders received reached a record high, largely due to an order for large hydrogen production equipment for the demonstration of hydrogen reduction-based steelmaking.
We made steady progress in restructuring of the existing businesses and improvement in profitability, promotion of group management, and improvement in corporate value.
On the other hand, we had to carry over the creation of new business, and the implementation of a strategy and measures to maximize the effects of plant restructuring into the new medium-term management plan.
Value Creation Story of the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group
In the fiscal year ended March 2025, the final fiscal year of the previous medium-term management plan, all key numerical targets were achieved, including orders received, net sales, operating profit ratio, ROE, and payout ratio. Under the previous medium-term management plan, we positioned the period as preparation phase toward the realization of the management vision, centered on the two key points of the establishment of a new business portfolio and the establishment of a management base. We were able to make steady progress with necessary measures such as adopting ROIC as a business evaluation indicator and shifting to management emphasizing capital efficiency, and executing our first M&A in our 90-year history. However, we were not able to make as much progress as expected in bringing new products to market through new development and deepening existing products, and their commercialization, and this leaves us with a number of challenges to overcome.
Previous medium-term plan's key point 1: Establishment of a new business portfolio
Outcome 1: Orders steadily received for hydrogen generators for the use of hydrogen and demonstration
Creation of new business
Outcome 2: Promotion of technology development for CO2 capture and carbon recycling in progress
We did not make as much progress Challenge: as we expected in product launch and

Achievement of all business-related indicator targets in the final fiscal year
During the first two years of the previous medium-term management plan, although orders received and operating profit ratio achieved the plan, net sales fell short of the plan. This was mainly due to the fact that sales did not grow as planned because the construction work for which orders were received did not progress as planned, partly due to the external environment. However, we were able to exceed the plan for all figures in the final fiscal year.
Several large projects for which orders were received in the fiscal years ended March 2023 and 2024 have contributed significantly to the increase in net sales in the fiscal year ended March 2025.

During the period of the previous medium-term management plan, ROE and dividend per share exceeded the plan for all three years. The payout ratio was lower than initially planned in the fiscal years ended March 2023 and 2024, partly due to a large increase in net profit due to the posting of extraordinary profit mainly from the sale of strategically-held shares. However, in the fiscal year ended March 2025, our company exceeded its initial plan by implementing the enhanced shareholder return set forth in the new medium-term management plan ahead of schedule.

Ke Points of the New Medium-Term Management Plan
There are four key points of the new medium-term management plan: evolution of our business portfolio, establishment of management conscious of cost of capital and stock prices, stronger human and technical capital, and improvements in the transparency of corporate governance.

The green transformation (GX) business is positioned as a growing business, and we will allocate resources adequately to it to accelerate product development and business expansion. We will also evolve our business portfolio by strengthening our GX business, promoting digital transformation (DX), and considering M&As to expand our business. In addition, we will implement measures that contribute to the enhancement of corporate value in order to stabilize the management base.

Looking back on our previous medium-term management plan from a financial perspective
Financial policies and measures supporting the new medium-term management plan
Specifically, in our cash allocation, we expect to secure a cumulative total of 26.0 billion yen from operating cash flow over the three-year period, to procure 5.0 billion yen in funds, and to sell off 1.8 billion yen of idle assets and strategically-held shares. Together with the 10.8 billion yen in cash reserves at the beginning of the period, this amounts to a total of 43.6 billion yen in capital. We will allocate 6.0 billion yen of this to shareholder return, 12.6 billion yen to business maintenance and expansion, and 15.0 billion yen to new plant-related spending.

Message from an Executive in Charge of Financial AffairsPromoting the evolution and transformation of our group leaping towards sustainable growth
Tomonari Miyamoto
Director and Managing Executive Officer
From financial management perspective, in
preparation for major investments, we are making steady progress with the sale of remaining strategically-held shares and the reduction of non-business assets. At the same time, we are shortening cash conversion cycles to help generate funds. We will be actively implementing these initiatives from the first fiscal year of the plan.
Cash allocation
(ROIC) target of 11% or higher. We will continue the ROIC-oriented management we have been carrying out so far, and perform tree analysis, set KPIs and monitor them to improve ROIC for each business.
Value Creation Story of the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group
Through this, we will increase capital efficiency as a whole.
Turning to shareholder return, our target during the final fiscal year of the plan is a payout ratio of 40%, and our dividend policy newly sets a minimum dividend on equity ratio (DOE) of 3.5%. We will improve our dividend levels, of course, for reinforcing and enhancing our shareholder return, but we will also stay conscious of its effect to curb increases in equity and contribute to ROE increase, and work on it as part of our capital efficiency improvement measures.

Results of shareholder return and plan for the new medium-term plan period
In FY2024, we brought our previous three-year medium-term management plan to a close. We far surpassed our performance targets of 57.0 billion yen in orders received, 55.0 billion yen in net sales, operating profit ratio of 5.0% or higher, and ROE of 7.0% or higher.
In FY2023, with the acquisition of a large-scale order for hydrogen production equipment, we reached a record high of 93.8 billion yen in orders received. In FY2024 as well, we maintained a high level of orders, with 64.9 billion yen in orders received. As a result of this, our current order backlog as of the end of the period has accumulated to 103.7 billion yen. Net sales were
In our new three-year medium-term management plan (FY2025-FY2027), named Evolution and Transformation 2.0, we have set the following performance targets for the final fiscal year of the plan: 90.0 billion yen in net sales, operating profit ratio of 9% or higher, and ROE of 12% or higher. To serve as a partner to customers'efforts toward decarbonization, we aim to expand our green transformation (GX) business mostly in the areas of realizing a recycling society and clean energy. Of our mentioned target of 90.0 billion yen in net sales, we have set a target of 23.0 billion yen in net sales in the GX business, which has been made into its own new segment.

Results
Strategy by Business
*The company carried out a three-for-one stock split of its common shares effective April 1, 2025. The figures before the fiscal year ended March 2025 were calculated, reflecting the stock split for comparison purpose.
59.2 billion yen, up 23.9% year on year, operating
profit was 5.6 billion yen, up 29.1% year on year. Operating profit ratio rose over three years from 6.1% (FY2021) to 9.6%, and ROE rose from 9.7% to 13.4%. ROE was affected by the sale of strategically-held shares, but we achieved a certain level of results by reinforcing our profitability and improving our capital efficiency. With respect to our financial standing, we have maintained an equity ratio of over 50% and a healthy balance sheet.
Turning to cash inflow during the previous medium-term management plan period, the cumulative total of operating cash flow over the three-year period was only 1.3 billion yen due to the impact of an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable resulting from the shortening of payment terms. However, we secured
8.2 billion yen through the sale of idle assets and strategically-held shares, the transfer of businesses, and other activities, so together with the 11.2 billion yen in cash reserves at the beginning of the period, that has left us with 20.7 billion yen in capital. For cash outflow, we recorded 4.8 billion yen in strategic investment, 2.4 billion yen in shareholder return, 2.6 billion yen in business maintenance and expansion, and 0.2 billion yen in other cash outflow, leaving 10.8 billion yen in cash reserves at the end of the period. Of these, we had initially planned for 4.0 billion yen in strategic investment, but the actual investment amount exceeded that.
Overall, our grounded efforts produced solid
results over the three years of the previous medium-term management plan.
Our net sales CAGR (compound average growth
rate) during the previous medium-term management plan period was 9.2%, and we envision a growth rate of CAGR 15.0% during the new plan period, aiming to achieve a very aggressive rate of growth. As I mentioned earlier, our recent order backlog as of the end of the previous fiscal year has accumulated to 103.7 billion yen. We will use this to drive sales growth through the second year of the new medium-term management plan (FY2025 and FY2026), but we must bring in new orders to contribute to sales growth in FY2027. With regard to market environments, we anticipate a growth in demand for semiconductor-related business and new shipbuilding, and decarbonization efforts are continuing, so further growth in orders can be expected.
Meanwhile, for profitability and capital efficiency, although we are laying the groundwork for future growth through growth investments centered on the GX business and investments in the restructuring of Kawasaki Works, our targets are set to maintain current levels.
The period covered by the new medium-term management plan is positioned as the"three years for a leap forward,"and we will utilize financial leverage, such as financing using interest-bearing debt, secure and invest over twice as much business capital as during the previous medium-term management plan, and accelerate our growth. With regard to the D/E ratio, we will pursue its soundness and strive to optimize capital efficiency with a target equity ratio of roughly 50%.
Management that is conscious of stock price and capital efficiency
Our Price Book-value Ratio (PBR) used to be below 1 for a long time, but with our disclosure of financial results for FY2024 and the announcement of the new medium-term management plan on May 15, 2025, our stock price began rising. As of the end of June, our PBR had risen to roughly 1.2, surpassing the new medium-term management plan target of
1. We believe this is due not only to the contents of the FY2024 financial results and the significant increase in year-end dividend, but also factors such as our clearly setting out our intended path to sustainable growth focusing on the GX business, which has been separated into its own new reporting segment, and our announcement of a policy of further reinforcing shareholder return in the new medium-term management plan. These have been positively received by the stock market.
We will continue to steadily make progress in the growth strategies set forth in the new medium-term management plan while also reinforcing our IR and SR activities to foster greater recognition and penetration within the stock market of our business and its future potential.
With regard to improving capital efficiency, for the final fiscal year of the new medium-term management plan, we have set an ROE target of 12% or higher and a return on invested capital

Growth Strategies to Realize the Management Vision
Investment Strateg: Restructuring of the Head Office and Kawasaki WorksPurpose of the plan
Since our founding in 1935, our current head office and Kawasaki Works have served as our core manufacturing plant. However, with the facilities deteriorating and the need to build the business foundation to realize the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group's Management Vision for 2050, we decided to implement a restructuring plan.
This plan is a strategic business investment for reforming our business portfolio with the aim of developing four strategic business fields and implementing new manufacturing strategies.
Outline of the plan
The office and research building (Image)
Progress of the plan
After the announcement of this plan in August 2024, the demolition of the former No. 2 Factory began in October, and the work was completed.
Going forward, in order to construct a new office and research building and a factory experimentation building, work such as foundation work and steel frame erection will be carried out sequentially.
Work style reform project team
Since 2019, we have run a project team for reforming workstyles to improve

According to this plan, we will dismantle the buildings of the head office and Kawasaki Works, excluding SJ Factory and the hydrogen station, and rebuild factories, offices, and research facilities required for our business.
➊ The office and research building
By integrating the functions of offices and research facilities, we will strive to optimize the spaces required for these functions and ancillary facilities, such as a cafeteria
and meeting rooms.
❷ The factory experimentation building
Under the concept of an environmentally-friendly cutting-edge factory, this building, as a manufacturing hub driving energy saving, decarbonization and digital transformation (DX), will function to assemble industrial machines, such as existing centrifuges, filtering devices, and filters, and equipment compliant with environmental regulations for ships, and to
manufacture next-generation products. The factory experimentation building (Image)

As we proceed with the restructuring of the head office and Kawasaki Works, we have decided to resume the activities of this team with the aim of designing workspaces that will suit diverse work styles for the future. Activities include the following:
Conduct a survey of the current situation: Consider the optimal design and layout of the office area based on factors such as the current layout of the office area and the amount of documents stored.
Conduct a web survey: Conduct a survey on employees working at the head office and Kawasaki Works about their working conditions and satisfactionfor one week, and consider improvement measures for issues based on the results of the survey.
Conduct interviews with the President and Division Directors: Conduct interviews with senior management to ensure that the concept is aligned with management policies.
Conduct workshops: Hold group discussions among project members on our company's strengths and ideal working styles, and gather ideas that

for governments and large corporations, but also for all players, including SMEs, consumers, and civil society, to join hands and build a strong partnership. We will promote the penetration of this philosophy
Basic sustainability policy
For Mitsubishi Kakoki Kaisha, Ltd. and its group of companies (the MKK Group),"sustainability"means increasing enterprise value by maintaining and improving solid and favorable relations with all stakeholders through the realization of the motto that the MKK Group has steadfastly adhered to since its foundation: Providing high quality products and facilities based on solid technologies rooted in its manufacturing expertise and strict quality management skills.
Basic approach to sustainability
The MKK Group recognizes that the business activities of the MKK Group have an impact on the global environment and local communities and as such conducts its activities in line with the following sustainability approach: Strict observance of business ethics and full compliance with relevant laws and regulations; Improving customer satisfaction; Environmental consideration; Ensuring workplace safety; Transparent disclosure of information; and contributing to society.
Procurement policy
Our group conducts procurement activities based on the following principles.
among employees and business partners.
From Keidanren's"Handbook for Management that Respects Human Rights"
Conducting surveys on business partners based on procurement guidelines
To strengthen sustainable procurement, in April 2025, Mitsubishi Kakoki revised its procurement policy and compiled"the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group Procurement Guidelines", which set out items to be observed in procurement activities, so that our group and our business partners can work on these matters to jointly fulfill social responsibilities.
In May 2025, we explained Mitsubishi Kakoki's basic policy on sustainability and the procurement guidelines established in April of the same year with the cooperation of the suppliers cooperation association (Ryokokai), which consists of about 30 primary suppliers mainly involved in the manufacture of Mitsubishi oil purifiers. Subsequently, questionnaires were distributed to the participating companies mentioned above for the purpose of surveying the actual conditions of each company in the supply chain. After collecting the questionnaires in July, we analyzed the results of the actual conditions of each company and provided individual feedback.
Following this phase 1 survey, for the phase 2 survey on the actual conditions of business partners, selection of the target business partners is underway based on past order amounts, frequency, and other factors, and we plan to conduct the survey starting in FY2026. We will continue to periodically survey actual conditions and promote appropriate procurement activities in line with the guidelines.

Growth Strategies to Realize the Management Vision
Our group has analyzed the impact of climate change on each business in 2030 under two scenarios: a scenario in which we aim to achieve economic growth while keeping the global average temperature increase below 1.5°C in 2100 compared to pre-industrial times "( 1.5°C Scenario")*1 and a scenario in which we aim to achieve economic growth using fossil fuel as the main source of energy based on the current state and the global average temperature will increase 4.0°C in 2100 compared to pre-industrial times "( 4°C Scenario")*2.
In the 1.5°C scenario, transition risks include the augmentation of material and energy costs due to the introduction of a carbon tax, resulting in a decline in demand for less energy-efficient equipment and demand from fossil resource-related industries and products for equipment using fossil fuels. On the other hand, demand for products and technologies that meet the decarbonization needs is expected to increase further. We believe that the elemental technologies we have developed are our strengths, and that they can be applied to products and technologies related to hydrogen and the cultivation and utilization of algae in response to decarbonization. We also believe that there are significant business opportunities in this area.
In the 4°C scenario, we believe there will be opportunities to provide our group's existing products and technologies to meet the needs for resilient equipment and facilities to cope with the risk of severe natural disasters caused by climate change. However, we believe that the physical risk of flooding, sea level rise, and other factors affecting supply chains, such as suppliers and transportation networks, process delays, and reduced work efficiency due to higher average temperatures will be greater.

The management systems for quality assurance and the environment of our corporate group are managed by the Safety, Quality & Environmental Management Division, which is directly controlled by the president as a secretariat, under the leadership and commitment of the president and the senior management.
We set group-wide policies for quality and the environment and performance indicators (KPIs) for each fiscal year, and each business division sets KPIs and concrete measures in management programs, with the aim of maximizing our performance. We adopted a system in which the secretariat and quality/environment managers monitor and evaluate our business performance on a quarterly basis. Based on the evaluation results, we hold a meeting of the Quality/Environment Committee with the president serving as general manager, to share the situation with respect to annual KPIs (quality: costs for dealing with non-conformity and the customer satisfaction level: environment: sales from orders related to SDGs and technological development), information on non-conformity, the status of compliance with environment-related laws and regulations, the evaluation report on activities of quality and environment management programs, etc. as well as to deliberate how to respond to serious complaints about products or services and improve quality. Group companies, too, attend the meeting to share information and unify our measures.
Chart of processes of the quality management system (QMS)
Our company makes company-wide efforts to reduce and prevent risks through the strategy for rationalization before receiving orders and the management of serious risks based on the control of trial products and changes after receiving orders. In addition, we adopted the phase-gate process in development meetings in 2021. We carry out risk assessments and environmental impact assessments to judge whether or not to release products and evaluate them, and support the realization of the management vision.
