Under our Purpose of “Committed to empowering a brighter future.” MUFG has identified 10 priority issues, including responses to the aging population & low birthrate, along with climate change measures & environmental protection, as we work to resolve social issues and achieve a sustainable society through financial services and business activities.
At the same time, to address social issues that are difficult to deal with our core businesses, we have put in place a framework that utilizes approximately 1%(note1) of net business profits to give back to society, and we are undertaking various social contribution activities, including donations and volunteer work.
As a global financial institution, we try to make the most of the size and strength of our group and the passion of our employees by being conscious of global social issues, while preserving the rich culture we have cultivated in Japan. We also aim to create ecosystems and platforms that provide solutions to social issues by strengthening ties with stakeholders and empathizing with each other for future generations, society, and the planet.
As MUFG, we will actively contribute to society by carrying out activities that make stories that our employees can be proud of and to be passed on to the world.
