Mitsubishi Electric Europe, B.V. (French Branch) provides financial and material support to organizations that exist to improve the lives of those in need. This includes E.L.A., a European association of parents and patients who unite against genetic muscular dystrophy, a disease that gradually paralyzes vital functions. Another is Fondation pour l'Enfance, which is dedicated to the improvement of child protection in France and other countries through specific training and actions, and whose president is Mrs. Giscard d' Estaing, wife of the former French president.

Mitsubishi Electric participated in special ceremonies in December, 2007, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Fondation pour l'Enfance, which included conferences hosted by journalists to outline pressing issues related to child protection and care. Employees pitched in to organize a special operation called the "Kuma-chan Christmas," where employees purchased a bear character toy named Kuma-chan for the symbolic price of 5 euros, after which the company donated 15 euros to the Foundation for each Kuma-chan sold. Upon sales of 150 Kuma-chan dolls, the company donated a total of 3,000 euros to the Foundation for Christmas.

People with the ability to enchant our lives with music deserve encouragement, support and musical career opportunities. That's why Mitsubishi Electric has formed a unique association with INTRADA, an independent production label whose main objective is to discover young talented musicians and give a boost to their careers. Mitsubishi Electric sponsors production of one CD a year by a promising young musical artist and organizes a prestigious concert that brings together appreciators of great music and talented individuals.

(French Branch) fosters the volunteer spirit of its employees by awarding a special "Mr ECO" trophy to the employee who suggests the best idea for positive action on behalf of the environment. Other departments are involved in not only environmental related initiatives, but others, as well. In 2007 the Visual Information Systems department funded Plongeurs du Monde, an association that contributes to the protection of the natural undersea world. In 2006 the Automotive department supported 10 trips to Canada for the G.A.I.F. theater company (Groupement des Aphasiques d'lle de France), an association that helps victims of aphasia (or aphemia), which is a loss of the ability to produce and/or comprehend language due to injury to brain areas specialized for these functions.

Mitsubishi Electric Europe, B.V. (German Branch), located in Ratingen (near Dsseldorf), supports the Helen Keller School for children with disabilities by providing funding for a "Sozial Mobil" (social mobile) van for transporting pupils to school facilities and special outings.

Mitsubishi Electric has provided support for the German civil defense organization THW (German Federal Agency for Technical Relief) by sponsoring an advertisement that helps underwrite costs of this important THW publication. The German Branch has also provided sponsorship for a publication distributed throughout Germany that highlights the special relationship between Japanese companies and the city of Dsseldorf, a business metropolis on the Rhine that's known as Japan's economic nerve center in Europe.

Mitsubishi Electric German Branch has made donations to the Technical Academy in Aachen, Germany, to help support a regular exchange of students between the Academy and the Polytechnic University of St. Petersburg, Russia. In 2005 a group of about 20 students from each country participated in the exchange, which included special workshops and a culture program designed to improve cooperation between the schools and understanding between the cultures.

At the beginning of each year the city of Ratingen organizes the "New Year's Run," where citizens and companies based in the city are invited to participate. The German Branch traditionally takes a key sponsorship role in the event and fields its own team, too.
