Editorial Policy

NEC aims to transform itself into a “Social Value Innovator” that uses ICT to support the infrastructure necessary for people to lead enriched lives. Accordingly, NEC considers communication with stakeholders, which provides the starting point for this transformation, to be a crucial responsibility.

NEC views the disclosure of CSR-related information through its website and PDF documents as important communication that is essential for earning the trust of all stakeholders, including shareholders and other investors, suppliers, local communities and employees.

NEC discloses CSR-related information by presenting relevant activities and achievements according to its seven priority initiatives.

The seven priority initiatives have been selected with emphasis on the results of stakeholder engagement from both standpoints of “Stakeholder Interests and Social Concerns” and “NEC’s Perspective.” The initiatives comprise four “Initiatives for Solving Issues Faced by Society and Addressing People’s Needs through Business Activities” and three “Initiatives for Internal Management in Support of Business Activities.”

Scope of Report

The content solely relates to NEC Corporation in certain sections, but also includes subsidiary companies in other sections. For information covering a specific set of NEC and subsidiary companies, the scope of such information has been explicitly defined in each relevant section. In disclosures of CSR-related information, “NEC” refers to NEC Corporation and its subsidiary companies, unless noted otherwise.

Disclosure Format

CSR Website

Harnessing various website features, NEC regularly discloses the latest information on its CSR activities via its CSR website, which is utilized as an interactive communication tool. Furthermore, It emphasizes detailed coverage of information to ensure conformance with international reporting initiatives such as GRI, while addressing the needs of CSR professionals such as SRI research institutes, the news media, universities and NPOs/NGOs.
Furthermore, NEC includes details of CSR activity achievements every fiscal year in its CSR Activity Report. Please use this as the traditional CSR Annual report.

Annual Report 2013 explains NEC’s management strategies from both financial and non-financial perspectives, with the view to promoting the sustainable growth of NEC and society as a whole. From fiscal 2013, NEC has published an annual report that integrates the traditional annual report format centered on financial reporting with non-financial information highlights (the former CSR Report Digest).
