Corporate Image Near-future Goal
Mitsubishi Motors Group Environmental Vision 2020
—“Leading the EV Era, Towards a Sustainable Future”
To achieve the Mitsubishi Motors Group Environmental Vision
2020 roadmap’s goals and targets, MMC will focus its resources
on a 3-pronged approach based on “Products & Technology,”
“Corporate Activities” and “Cooperation with Society.”
1. Products & Technology:
As well as pushing ahead with the development of EV technolo-
gies and products, MMC will seek to reduce environmental loads
throughout the entire lifecycle of its products, mainly by improv-
ing the fuel economy of internal combustion engine-powered
vehicles, and enhancing vehicle recyclability.
Looking ahead to the year 2020, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the company, MMC has formu-
lated the Mitsubishi Motors Group Environmental Vision 2020.
Under the Mitsubishi Motors Group Environmental Vision 2020, MMC’s environmental activities will be
guided by its environmental policy of “Leading the EV* era, towards a sustainable future.” In this context,
MMC is committed to the development of technology—spearheaded by EV technology—and to reducing the
environmental impact of its business activities in general. The Mitsubishi Motors Group Environmental Vision
2020 will also point the MMC Group toward working with its customers and society at large in creating a
pleasing and low-carbon society. Additionally, the Environmental Vision 2020 more fully embodies the phi-
losophy of the company’s recently announced “Drive@earth” corporate tagline.
<Mitsubishi Motors Group Environmental Vision 2020
product & technology targets for the year 2020>
• Raise the total production ratio of EVs to at least 20%
• Cut global lineup CO2 emissions by a weighted average of
50% from the 2005 level.
2. Corporate Activities:
Covering all fields of corporate activities from product planning
through development, production, sales and after-sales services,
MMC will step up its efforts to promote more widespread use of
EVs. In addition, MMC will raise the level of its environmental pro-
tection activities throughout the Mitsubishi Motors Group by setting
its own environmental standards for each field of corporate activity.

• Reduce per-vehicle CO2 emissions during production by

3. Cooperation with Society:
MMC will collaborate with governments, various industries and
other partners to help develop charging infrastructure and new
traffic systems using EVs.
While continuing to promote environmental conservation
activities implemented with local communities, the company will
also work to enhance activities such as the global expansion of
corporate citizenship activities, including tree planting programs,
and “eco-driving” support measures.
