Compliance Message from Noriyuki Shimizu, Group President of Global Strategic Planning & Marketing Group (GSG)

Mitsubishi Electric group is facing an emergency due to a series of quality and compliance issues that occurred last year. We believe that fiscal (FY) 22 will be an important year for us to regain the trust of the society and become an essential company for our society once again. I would like you to keep in mind the "Always Act with Integrity" in your daily work, and it is essential to create a safe and comfortable work environment in order to foster a corporate culture that can do the right thing. With the aim of “being able to speak up, tolerate failure, and create a culture of working together to solve problems,”

GSG will promote the following 3 initiatives in FY 22.

1. Activating positive and interactive communication and expanding it to the entire group,
2. Creating an environment in which we can focus on essential work by eliminating excessive work that has become a mere formality.
3. Trusting each other and sharing information widely and easily.

First, I would like you to promote communication reform, and try to make greetings, one-on-one meetings, small talk and consultation.  In addition, I would like to ask you to review your work style and consider whether you really need the work that you have been doing in the same way over the past years, and whether you really need the meetings that you have been doing regularly, in order to eliminate excessive work that has become a mere formality and create an environment where you can focus on essential work. We believe that these efforts will ultimately lead to thorough ethical compliance and build relationships of trust with all stakeholders.

Now is the time for us to come together and make our company even better.
