Making an impact
on environmental challenges with
Hitachi High-Tech’s Power of Knowledge
We promote initiatives to achieve a sustainable global environment as One Hitachi,
which are driven by our environmental business activities.
Building a value chain that creates environmental value through business co-creation

Hitachi High-Tech delivers technologies that enable high-precision, high-speed understanding of phenomena at the frontlines by combining core measurement and analytical technologies, such as electron microscopes and analytical systems, with digital technologies like Lumada.

Furthermore, as a trading company within the Hitachi Group, we possess frontline capabilities, developed over many years across our global corporate network, that enable us to understand the real issues faced by society and our customers.

To bring environmental businesses that benefit society to life, it is essential to integrate the initiatives of individual companies through One Hitachi and build a value chain that generates environmental value. By combining technology with insights gained on the frontlines, Hitachi High‑Tech deepens its understanding of real‑world issues and advances environmental businesses that create meaningful impact.

Accurate understanding is the first step toward resolving issues.

Building environmental businesses grounded in a deep understanding of customer challenges
The following are examples of environmental businesses launched by leveraging Hitachi High-Tech’s technologies and frontline capabilities.
Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing Solutions
Supporting the Shift to EVs with Observation,
Measurement, and Analysis Technologies
Due to the ongoing climate change crisis, both Japan and the wider world are rapidly shifting toward electric vehicles (EVs). Hitachi High-Tech aims to contribute to a sustainable global environment by providing manufacturing facilities for safe, long-lasting batteries and quality control services to manufacturers that develop and manufacture lithium-ion batteries, thereby promoting the wider proliferation of EVs and supporting measures to combat climate change.
Solving Material Development Bottlenecks
With AI to Enhance Industrial Capabilities
and Build a Sustainable Future
Climate change, resource exhaustion, and environmental pollution are all challenges that we face today. One way to solve these challenges is to develop sustainable alternatives. Materials Informatics (MI) from our Materials Solutions Division offers solutions for the fast-paced development of materials. We are able to achieve higher levels of efficiency by using AI in processes that have traditionally relied heavily on experienced researchers, including in the areas of research, design, and simulation.
