At MUFG, we believe that the pursuit of social value as well as economic value is the key to increasing corporate value, and we are working to resolve social issues based on the purpose of "Committed to empowering a brighter future" We have selected 10 priority issues based on 3 axes: Sustainable Society. Vibrant Society & Resilient Society.
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
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.
Focusing on these five priority areas, MUFG's six group companies work together to implement selected activities based on the following thoughts and values.
- Carrying out activities that embody MUFG’s Purpose of being “Committed to empowering a brighter future.”
- Resolving the 10-priority environmental and social issues.
- Contributing to the creation of sustainable mechanisms and frameworks for resolving issues.
- Taking advantage of our wide range of connections with communities and people in order to carry out activities.
- Expanding employee empathy through participation in social contribution activities.
