By enhancing corporate governance, the Hitachi Group is promoting speedier, more efficient management and is meeting the expectations of stakeholders as a business that merits the public’s trust.
We strive to live up to our Corporate Credo of contributing to society through the development of superior, original technology and products. We are also mindful of our vision to contribute to the solution of fundamental global issues and to pursue the realization of a better, more prosperous global society. We intend to become a truly global entity that shares its values with society by integrating CSR into management and operation strategies.
Reducing the frequency and impact of risks globally by strengthening policies and programs to meet the goals of the 2012 Mid-Term Management Plan.
Raising awareness and reinforcing compliance among Group companies worldwide during international expansion to ensure fair competition.
Since the beginning, Hitachi has applied R&D to fulfill our Corporate Credo of contributing to society through the development of superior, original technology and products. The sustainable growth of the Hitachi Group is driven by this continuous generation of innovation with R&D at its core.
The mission for our intellectual property activities is to maximize their contribution to business. While these contributions can vary from one business to another, we categorize them by differentiation and prevention, securing business freedom, and patent licensing income. We will forge ahead with our IP strategy, that is in line with a management focus on global, fusion, and environment—or more specifically, global development that fuses social infrastructure with intelligent IT and environmental systems.
To grow Hitachi’s Social Innovation Business worldwide, we must improve our brand recognition and reputation, and establish the Hitachi brand as a social innovation company. We communicate globally in many ways with stakeholders to ensure a full understanding so that we increase the value of, or minimize damage to, our brand.
