As companies are required to make proactive efforts to realize a sustainable society, disclosure of non-financial information, as typified by environmental and social data, is becoming increasingly important as corporate ESG evaluation indicators. In addition, stakeholders use ESG information disclosed by companies to evaluate their prospects for achieving sustainable growth.


MOL Group established the “MOL Group Human Capital Vision” covering its human capital policy, and set forth three basic principles for the policy: “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion,” “Mutually Empowered,” and “Highly Engaged.” To fulfill and develop these three basic principles, it is important to grasp social data in the human resources area appropriately. MOL will continually pursue its human resources policies by utilizing the data.

MOL selects the following as important items for third-party certification:
