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.
