Basic Ideas and Visions

Corporate management in harmony with the global environment plays an important role in the sustainable development of society and companies. In addition to reducing resource and energy consumption as well as the environmental impact associated with business activities, the Hitachi High-Tech Group aims to achieve sustainable consumption and production through the provision of environmentally-conscious products and services as well as initiatives throughout the value chain.

Action Targets

1. Realize a decarbonized society

To reduce CO2 emissions from energy consumption associated with our business activities, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality at its sites by systematically investing in environmental equipment that has a meaningful impact on reducing CO2 emissions and by actively promoting the use of renewable energy. We will also endeavor to reduce CO2 throughout the value chain, including Scope 3 (CO2 emissions from sites other than our own) emissions and our customers’ contribution to CO2 reduction.

2. Realize a recycling oriented society

Hitachi High-Tech strives to effectively use water, conserve resources, and reduce waste in its business activities. Specifically, we will reduce the amount of water used in factories and use fewer resources in the manufacture of products through the adoption of environmentally conscious design (eco-design) in products. In addition, with the aim of realizing a circular economy, we will work to develop and provide customers with solutions that contribute to resource recycling.

3. Realize a society in harmony with nature

In order to reduce the negative impact of business activities on natural capital, we will work to reduce the negative impact of chemical substance emissions, and aim to realize a rich future for both people and nature. We will work on biodiversity conservation activities such as forest conservation activities that will increase the positive impact.
