The company receives four A-List recognitions in CDP's programs
TOKYO, January 12, 2017 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that the CDP, a global disclosure system for companies and cities to manage their environmental impacts, has presented Mitsubishi Electric with top "A List" rankings for climate- and water-management practices in its supply chain program.
The A-List recognitions in both categories are based on questionnaires sent to suppliers in the supply chains of CDP member companies.
