Environmental Management System

The MOL Group views environmental issues as an important management topic, and it has established its environmental management system with the president & CEO as the chief executive officer. The Sustainability Committee, a subordinate under the Executive Committee, serves as the main deliberative body on environmental initiatives (Chairperson; Chief Financial Officer, Vice Chairperson; Chief Sustainability Officer). The Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of environmental initiatives by holding discussions on sustainability, such as overall strategies for sustainability management, including the environment and analysis of the external environment, and making decisions on particularly important matters discussed by the Sustainability Committee.
Our group's environmental management system, "MOL EMS21" has acquired ISO 14001 certification, and uses the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) cycle to promote continuous improvement. "MOL EMS21" defines the roles, authorities, and responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer (President) and the person responsible for environmental management (the chairperson of Sustainability Committee), and defines methods to comply with laws, regulations, and requirements in ISO14001 standards, and so on.
We will enhance the transparency of various environmental data to stakeholders inside and outside the company, through timely and appropriate disclosure, build trustworthy relationships, and improve environmental awareness through participation in and support of various environmental conservation activities including environmental education.
Aiming to achieve net 0 emissions across the entire Group by 2050, as set forth in the new MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.1 formulated in June 2021, we collaborate with the Corporate Planning Division and the Headquarters of Technological & Digital Transformation to implement a variety of strategies, including the introduction of clean alternative fuels, the introduction of more energy-efficient technologies, deeper efficient navigation, and the development of low-carbon businesses, in order to promote environmental initiatives.

Environmental Audit

Under MOL EMS21, which has been in operation since 2001, the division in charge of the environment conducts internal audits every year, and all offices and divisions within the scope of ISO 14001 certification are subject to the audits. (※) If any significant issues are found as a result of the audits, we implement measures for improvement, along with the division in charge of the environment, and confirm the effectiveness of the measures in the next year's audit, thereby striving for continuous improvement. The audit results are reported to the Environment & Sustainability Committee, which confirms that this system is functioning effectively.

In addition, to confirm the appropriateness of the environmental management system, DNV Business Assurance Japan K.K., an external third-party auditing organization, has been conducting regular audits once a year and renewal audits once every three years since 2003, and we maintain ISO 14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management systems.
