description:
  Mitsui's Mission is to 'Build brighter futures, everywhere.' We contribute to resolving social issues through our business activities, which leads to the sustainable growth of the Company and the creation of social value. The core of Mitsui’s growth strategy is building a sustainable and competitive business portfolio through investments for growth in familiar and adjacent areas, middle game initiatives to improve competitiveness and profitability, asset recycling based on ROIC and business value, and optimal allocation of management resources including funds and human capital platforms like Bloom and Value Creation Palette. We are constantly transforming our wide-ranging global business portfolio by creating new businesses, growing them into core businesses, and then extending them into new domains.

researcher_notes:
  Estimated investment size per company and formal fund sizes are not explicitly stated on the website. The overall portfolio book value is approximately 10 trillion JPY, which we use as a proxy for total assets under management. Investment thresholds for project examination start from 5 billion JPY but do not specify ticket sizes per company. No formal distinct fund names were found; therefore, the default fund naming rule was used.
