Mitsui Chemicals announced that it has again been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), a global benchmark for measuring environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments. Having first been added to the DJSI Asia Pacific in 2018, Mitsui Chemicals has now managed to maintain its listing here for a six consecutive year following the index’s annual review for 2023.

The DJSI Asia Pacific covers approximately 600 major companies in the Asia–Pacific region, with 156 companies – including 75 Japanese companies – having been selected in 2023.

On top of its inclusion here, Mitsui Chemicals has been selected as part of the FTSE4Good Index Series and the MSCI ESG Leaders Indexes, both of which are global investment indices similar to the DJSI.

Recognizing that the chemical industry shoulders the foundations of society and innovation – and as such has a major responsibility to work toward a sustainable society – the Mitsui Chemicals Group is actively endeavoring to employ ESG criteria within its management and strategies.
