Environmental Record

In 1992 the Mitsubishi Corporation Fund for Europe and Africa (MCFEA) was established. A UK registered charity, this fund was created to help promote environmental conservation, education, research into the environment, and poverty alleviation. On April 7, 2008, the Mitsubishi Corporation announced a program that would provide £230,000 pounds in new grants.

On November 6, 2006, the Mitsubishi Corporation approved over a half million dollars in new grants including $400,000 to the O Boticário Foundation for Nature Protection and $150,000 to Sustainable South Bronx. The O Boticário Foundation for Nature Protection provides support for a massive project to protect parts of the Atlantic Forest which provides water for more than four million people. The Sustainable South Bronx program links environmental clean-up and restoration in the community to the career development and economic needs of local people.

In March 1998 the Mitsubishi Corporation received the quarterly Greenwash Award. It was awarded to them for their efforts to portray its businesses, which are some of the most destructive on earth, as environmentally friendly. Through the use of public relations the corporation tried to convince the world that their subsidiaries facility off the coast of Mexico was environmentally benign. The facility is a salt evaporation factory and is in a lagoon that also holds the last pristine Grey Whale calving ground.
