Mitsui & Co is a trading company with a portfolio that includes petrochemicals and polymers, speciality chemicals and plastics, fertilizers and inorganics. Its main businesses include sales, manufacture, export/import, international trade and services.
The company intends to focus on three policies: allocating business resources more dynamically; promoting strategic exits and asset recycling; and accelerating the development and deployment of human resources (HR) within the group. It will seek to create new growth models that leverage its business engineering capabilities, promote consumer businesses, and develop biomass ethanol, emission credits and other new energy and environment businesses.
In chemicals, Mitsui intends to continue to trade on a global scale, while maintaining and strengthening its position. It plans to invest selectively, with a focus on strengthening its trading capabilities in the upstream and midstream sectors, and organising groups of specialists in specific areas in the downstream sector.
Mitsui has 44,166 employees with headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, and revenues of Yen5,535bn in fiscal year to March 2009.

Strategy & Financial Highlights
Mitsui & Co will focus on its medium-term management outlook plan which is based on the management of its strategic business portfolio to create value that meets the needs of its customers and society. In developing this financial and business vision the company says that it has “consciously focused on the qualitative elements necessary to create a Mitsui of higher value” over the next three to five years, rather than taking a purely quantitative approach based on the current environment.
