MUFG recognized in 2018 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index

Tokyo, January 23, 2018 --- Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) is pleased to announce that it was recently chosen as a member of the 2018 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the second consecutive year.

The index measures gender equality across internal company statistics, employee policies, external community support and engagement, and gender-conscious product offerings. Those included on this year's index scored at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure practices and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies.

The 2018 reference is the first sector-neutral index which saw the doubling of global companies of more than 100 included to the member list.

Investors increasingly rely on ESG*, a company's environmental, social, and governance practices to evaluate its reputation, value, and performance. Membership on the index validates MUFG's strong commitment to gender equality and its fitness as an investment choice.

MUFG will continue to improve our corporate environment so that employees can fully utilize their capabilities.

(*)ESG is an abbreviation for Environment, Social, Governance, and today there is a growing understanding around the world that a perspective encompassing these three areas is essential for long-term corporate growth.
