Create real, sustainable change with MUFG

With MUFG, you'll join a passionate group of people who work together to create real change—in banking and beyond. At every step, we're committed to giving back to the people and places we serve.

Going green begins in our own backyard, and we're committed to making a positive impact on the environment with resource conservation initiatives that help fulfill our global public commitment to reach a target of net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our own operations by 2030. 

Sustainable Business

Looking at our core business, we have committed to achieve net zero GHG emissions in everything we finance globally by 2050 and have set specific interim 2030 targets in a growing number of industry sectors with the aim of supporting our clients’ efforts to transition to a decarbonized economy. 

In 2024, MUFG raised its global sustainable finance target to ¥100 trillion by 2030. We have been a consistent worldwide leader in project finance for renewable energy, often besting our industry’s annual rankings and taking the cumulative number one spot over the past 10 years in volume of lending for clean energy technologies like solar, wind, battery storage, geothermal, hydrogen, and biomass.   

Through its Environmental and Social Policy Framework, participation in voluntary initiatives that promote best practices in sustainable business, and public reporting of progress, MUFG addresses issues of climate change, biodiversity, and human rights.

Community Engagement

MUFG aims to create opportunity and prosperity in the communities in which we live and work through philanthropic investments, volunteering, and charitable donations. 

We support community outreach efforts by providing paid time off to volunteer, sponsoring volunteer opportunities, and by matching qualified donations to eligible organizations to support the causes that they care about.

Corporate Challenge 

Colleagues in Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago and New York laced up their running shoes and participated in the annual Corporate Challenge, the world’s largest corporate running event. A portion of the race proceeds were donated to local organizations in these cities, including the Central Park Conservancy, whose mission is to restore, manage and enhance Central Park.

Disaster Relief MUFG team of employees

Disaster Relief

MUFG has been actively involved in supporting communities affected by natural disasters. In Florida, we assisted two local elementary schools that were severely damaged by the 2024 storms. The grant enabled the schools to purchase essential items like furniture, rugs, and classroom supplies, ensuring a safe and engaging learning environment for returning students and teachers.

Commitment to Creating Opportunities and Prosperity

As a partner, employer, and neighbor, we are committed to building a strong future where everyone can thrive. We believe that social investments are an active demonstration of our values. Strengthening ties to the communities where we live and work—backed by a commitment to building trust among community partners, clients, and colleagues—is at the core of what we do.
