Mitsui Group 350th Anniversary Project: Mitsui Group × Youth Red Cross Collaboration Project
In 2023, the Mitsui Group marked the 350th anniversary since its founder, Takatoshi Mitsui, opened the Echigoya store in Nihombashi, Edo (now Tokyo) in 1673. To commemorate this milestone, the "Mitsui Group 350th Anniversary Project" will be implemented over five years from fiscal 2023 to 2027. With the key concept of "BETTER THE FUTURE FOR ALL.," the Group is engaging in various social activities that address social challenges and contribute to the future, as a means of embodying its commitment to the solution of social issues while reconfirming the purpose of the Group.
As part of this initiative, the Mitsui Chemicals Group participated in an inquiry-based learning program aimed at providing children with education for a sustainable future. This program was conducted in collaboration with an international exchange project by the Japanese Red Cross Society and the Youth Red Cross, focusing on topics such as peace education and climate change. Using our Group's BePlayer™/RePlayer™ activities as a case study of plastic resource recycling efforts, we introduced Youth Red Cross members from various countries to our approach, encouraging them to think outside the box and highlighting the importance of communication to engage and grow their communities.
The Mitsui Group 350th Anniversary Project is scheduled to continue until March 2028, and we participated with similar content in fiscal 2025.
We aspire to carry out activities that benefit as many young people as possible around the world and contribute to a sustainable future for our planet through our company’s initiatives.
