To promote CSR, the CSR Promotion Team, staffed by people from the CSR Division and CSR-related departments at Hitachi, Ltd., discusses and develops Group-wide CSR measures. The team focuses on specific global initiatives with CSR promotion officers at Group companies and regional headquarters outside Japan. Particularly important issues, such as determining medium- and long-term policies, are decided by the Senior Executive Committee. In-house company and Group company CSR promotion officers also meet regularly to discuss issues that need attention and to follow a common direction.
To meet our responsibilities as a global enterprise, we take on sustainable activities for the entire Group by using two tools: the materiality process and the jointly developed CSR Self-Assessment Tool, which we use for improving CSR activities Group-wide and to clarify the issues that we face as a global entity. By talking with and listening to global stakeholders, we proactively integrate global social issues within our organization to create sustainable social and management programs.
