MUFG has positioned the three years starting from fiscal 2024 as the "Period of vigorously pursuing and producing growth." In our Medium-term Business Plan for this period, we have established the three pillars: “Expand & Refine Growth Strategies,” “Drive Social & Environmental Progress,” and “Accelerate Transformation & Innovation,” and are promoting various initiatives.
Recognizing that pursuing social value along with economic value is the key to enhancing corporate value, we have identified ten priority issues based on the three core themes of "Sustainable Society,” “Vibrant Society,” and “Resilient Society." We have also established specific targets as KPIs to address these issues and are strongly promoting efforts to resolve them.
Approaching the resolution of issues facing stakeholders is, in a sense, the essence of business. In addition to directly addressing social issues, MUFG can also contribute to resolving them by supporting customers' businesses as a financial institution. Together with our customers, we aim to synergistically enhance the value of our customers and MUFG by connecting social value and economic value.
At the same time, to address social issues that are difficult to deal with through our core businesses, we have put in place a framework that utilizes a portion of our net business profits to give back to society. This includes undertaking activities that contribute to society, such as donations and volunteer work.
As a global financial institution, we try to make the most of the size and strength of our group and the passion of our employees by being conscious of global social issues, while preserving the rich culture we have cultivated in Japan. We also aim to create ecosystems and platforms that provide solutions to social issues by strengthening ties with stakeholders and empathizing with each other for future generations, society, and the planet.
As MUFG, we will actively contribute to society by carrying out activities that make stories that our employees can be proud of and to be passed on to the world.

Five Priority Areas and Our Underlying Thoughts and Values
MUFG is committed to addressing a wide range of social issues through our social contribution activities and contributing to realizea sustainable society. We aim to fulfill our purpose of being “Committed to empowering a brighter future" and enhancing corporate value through these activities.
Based on this philosophy, as a framework for our social contribution activities, we have established five priority areas: Development of the Next Generation and Support for Children, Environmental Conservation, Financial and Economic Education, Preservation and Succession of Culture, and Disaster Relief among other support which are closely aligned with our business strategy of 10 priority issues.
