References
Reason for Omission/Explanation

We are unable to provide the information required because the Hitachi Group has locations in as many as 68 countries and regions around the world and indices such as the ratio of the entry-level wage to the minimum wage cannot simply be compared by country or region. We ensure proper management of the pay system in accordance with the laws and regulations and the wage level of each country or region. In Japan, starting pay for new graduates—representing about half of all new graduates recruited across the Group's global operations—is roughly 20% higher than the weighted average of Japan's minimum wages.

References
Reason for Omission/Explanation

Because the Hitachi Group has locations in as many as 68 countries and regions around the world, it is extremely difficult to define local or significant locations of operation. In our railway business, for example, we built a global operations framework headquartered in London with 40% of senior management positions held by European personnel. The CEO of global operations is a London local who previously served as president of a Group company in the United Kingdom and has since become an executive officer at Hitachi, Ltd.
