As a global company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is engaged in the
manufacturing of a wide range of products across the world. For production in countries other
than Japan, we also carry out business operations in accordance with our basic environmental
policy: "The MHI Group shall undertake all aspects of its business activities with the
understanding that it is an integral member of society and will strive to reduce its burden on the
environment, contributing to the development of a sustainable society." Our major overseas
production bases have been certified with ISO 14001, the international standard on environmental
management and practice production activities with care for the environment under the laws and
regulations of the respective countries. Established in 1988 as a joint venture with Mahajak Group
Co., Ltd. in Thailand, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - Mahajak Air Conditioners Co., Ltd. (MACO)
was one of the first overseas production bases which took the initiative in such efforts. This report
introduces its activities.
