The effects of climate change are becoming more severe and are recognized as social challenges that must be addressed globally, as demonstrated by the Paris Agreement and the SDGs. The process of chemical production releases significant amounts of greenhouse gases, which are the primary cause of climate change. The physical risks posed by climate change and the transition to a low-carbon society have the potential to negatively impact the Group's business results and financial position. Consequently, the Mitsui Chemicals Group regards its response to climate change as a matter of material importance.
