TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) today announced that from July 15 to mid-October, the MOL Group held the "BLUE ACTION for ALL Campaign," in which the entire group worked together as one team to conduct various social contribution activities in Japan and overseas.
Starting with MOL's Car Carrier Tour event on July 15 (Note 1), Japan's Marine Day holiday, more than 40 group companies in 15 countries and a total of more than 1,000 employees participated in the event, with activities ranging from cleanup efforts at beaches, rivers, and communities, environmental conservation programs, educational events for the next generation, and community food drives.
Participating employees commented, "The cleanup activities strengthened my awareness of environmental conservation" and "Participating with the local community really made me feel like I was contributing to society."
During the campaign, an online event called "Thinking about Social Contribution" was held for MOL group company executives and employees, providing an opportunity to rediscover the significance of the MOL Group's social contributions. (Note 2)
The MOL Group named our social contribution "BLUE ACTION for ALL," reflecting the "BLUE ACTION MOL" initiative, which aims to realize a sustainable society, and combining it with "ALL" to express the group's commitment to respect all environments and life on Earth and to promote activities that contribute to society through concerted group-wide efforts.
The MOL Group, which develops various social infrastructure businesses centered on the shipping business, has set "Marine environment," "Next-Generation Human Resources Development," and "Addressing Local Community Challenges" as priority areas for MOL group's social contribution activities, and will continue to work together as a group to engage in activities that address various issues facing society.
