We take the Group's 150th anniversary, which we celebrated in 2021, as an opportunity to make the donations and provide ongoing support, with the aim of supporting organizations addressing social issues proactively, towards achieving our Corporate Philosophy, "For People, Society and the Earth."
We selected recipients of the donations from among organizations engaged in activities consistent with our Corporate Philosophy to solve social issues, with a particular focus on those that support children, students, or refugees, while also considering their relationships with us, among other factors.

• International Volunteer University Student Association
  Under the vision of "a society to live together," this organization plans and implements volunteer activities for solving social issues, with the leading role played by approximately 2,500 students from 80 universities across Japan as its members.
   
• Katariba (Approved Specified Non-Profit Organization)This organization engages in activities to deliver various educational opportunities to children with the aim of creating a society where "No matter what environment they grew up in, they should be able to develop their motivation and creativity to make their own future."

• Japan Association for Refugees (JAR)
  This organization supports refugees who have fled to Japan from conflicts, human rights abuses, or other forms of persecution, so that they can live in a new land with a sense of security, aiming to build an inclusive society.
   
• Nonprofit Corporation WELgee
  This organization co-creates shared value for Japanese society and those refugees who have fled to Japan, aiming for a society where refugees and Japanese can build a future together, regardless of their circumstances.
  We also use and collaborate with one of the organization's activities, a career program that accompanies the training, recruiting, and retention of refugee talents.

Based on the Corporate Philosophy of "For People, Society and the Earth", the Mitsubishi Materials Group has adopted Our Vision of "Circulating resources for a sustainable future" and Our Mission of "Create a sustainable future (a prosperous, recycling-oriented and decarbonized society)," and has established "We will contribute to the development of each region and build a harmonious relationship of mutual prosperity with local communities" as a rule we must observe in our Code of Conduct.

Based on the recognition that social contribution activities following the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake that occurred in March 2011 should be implemented not as a one-time event but on a permanent basis, we have established a program for all new graduates to participate in community service activities as part of their new employee training since the fiscal year ended March 2012.
From the beginning of their employment with us, we expect them to think about their relationship with society and raise their awareness of corporate social responsibility as a member of our Group.

Our business sites and Group companies manage emergency food, drinking water, and other supplies for use in the event of an earthquake or other emergency. We donate emergency food, drinking water, and other supplies that are due for renewal to facilities and organizations in need.

As children and young people are in a weak social position and their rights are susceptible to exploitation, they require particular protection and consideration, and their support across society as a whole is important in ensuring the same rights as adults are acknowledged so they can expand their future potential and growth in a healthy manner.
In the Mitsubishi Materials Group, we respect the human rights of all people, and respect the rights of children, including not allowing child labor or any forms of forced labor.
The Company supports its employees in their roles as parents and care-givers to children, and has established a workplace environment that helps employees balance their work and child-rearing responsibilities.
The Group also provides support through donations and social contribution activities at its business sites so that children and young people can grow by fully developing their innate abilities.

At Mantoverde Mine, grounded in trust and collaboration built with local communities, initiatives are being advanced to promote employment, skills development, and investment in the regional economy. In addition, a range of measures is being implemented to address local needs, including the supply of desalinated water and environmental education.

Mantoverde Mine prioritizes engagement with local communities through job creation, skills development, economic contributions, and active stakeholder engagement. Of its 1,201 employees, 528 (44%) are from the Atacama region, and one of its 14 senior managers is also from the local area. Despite geographic constraints due to its remote location, the mine provides employment opportunities through on-site accommodations.

For skills development, the mine supports training initiatives, including the “Learning for Development” program, with 350 participants completing courses totaling 1,078 hours of vocational training across different trades. Participants included residents of Flamenco, businesswomen from Chañaral and members of the Portofino Fishermen’s Union.

Spending on suppliers from the Atacama region totaled $32.6 million, representing 6% of overall procurement (2023: $48.8 million). Additionally, the mine invested $375,000 in local organizations and projects, including economic development support for six fishing unions and continued backing of the FORCOM project, which provides technical training to public high school students in Chañaral.

As a major initiative in this arid region, Mantoverde Mine signed an agreement with the local government and a water supplier, committing the mine to delivering desalinated water to the communities of Flamenco and Las Piscinas. The mine’s infrastructure responsibilities have been completed, and the project now awaits the required connection works by the water company and the regional government.

In 2024, Mantoverde Mine donated $375,000 to local organizations and projects. This included technical training to public high school students in Chañaral through the FORCOM project and economic development support for six local fishers’ unions as part of commitments associated with the desalination plant permit.

As part of the environmental permit application process for the Mantoverde Optimized Project, Chile’s Environmental Evaluation Service (SEA) required implementation of online public consultations, enabling stakeholders to submit questions and concerns. During the public participation period, 60 questions were posted from stakeholders, including questions related to biodiversity. All questions were answered in writing and made available online to ensure transparency and build trust.

Through these initiatives, our company and its partners aim to foster sustainable relationships with local communities and create social value.
