Contribution to Create KAITEKI Society Based on Bio-related Technologies

Chemical Industry has contributed human society and human life through the providing various bulk or functional chemicals to the industry of agriculture, medical, mobility, information communication, etc. However, we have fallen out of balance with the global environment, and are confronted by complex problems spanning from climate change to natural resource/energy depletion and an uneven distribution of food and water.

By contributing to resolving environmental and social issues, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation (MCHC) will build a sustainable society together with stakeholders toward the realization of KAITEKI. KAITEKI means “a sustainable condition which is comfortable for people, society and the Earth, transcending time and generations.” It is an original concept of the MCHC Group that proposes a way forward in the sustainable development of society and the planet, in addition to serving as a guide for solving environmental and social issues.

Today, I would discuss with you through the introduce our some works for contribution to create KAITEKI society based on Bio-related technology, such as bio-based chemicals from sustainable resources, environmental friendly production process.
