CSR Management
Approach to CSR Management
At NEC, we consider CSR initiatives to be inseparable from corporate activities. We aim to ensure the sustainable development of society and the NEC Group by implementing The NEC Way, with corporate governance as our foundation.
It is crucial that companies recognize that their existence is premised on society. Under this premise, every officer and employee rigorously adheres to compliance standards, and strives to practice the NEC Group Core Values (what we value and base our behavior on) in the course of daily operations, with the aim of realizing an "information society friendly to humans and the earth," as set forth in NEC Group Vision 2017 based on the Corporate Philosophy. In doing so, we must help to solve issues faced by customers and society.
Our important social responsibilities also include ensuring full accountability through the active disclosure of information on the results of our CSR initiatives and related issues, and communicating with stakeholders to improve our corporate activities and build relationships of trust.
Through communication with stakeholders, we must explore the fundamental issues faced by customers and society, and find insights into solving such issues. It is crucial for us to connect these insights to the launch of new businesses or use them to strengthen existing businesses. In doing so, NEC must achieve innovation and provide even greater value to customers and society at large. Creating common value between the NEC Group and society (corporate value and social value) through such a virtuous cycle is the foundation for ensuring that the NEC Group remains an essential partner to society. NEC considers CSR-driven management to be management based on the foregoing approaches.
CSR Management Basic Policies and Promotion Framework
Basic Policies
1．Strengthen risk management and enforce compliance
NEC is strengthening risk management and compliance within its own organization as well as at Group companies and suppliers, to ensure that NEC products or services, employee actions or other factors do not result in incidents or wrongdoing that cause problems for customers or other stakeholders.
2．Contribute to solving social issues through business activities
NEC seeks to solve issues that affect customers and society through innovation in its business activities and through social contribution programs undertaken as a good corporate citizen.
3．Promote communications with stakeholders
NEC actively discloses everyday activities to stakeholders and society at large in publications such as the CSR Report to fulfill its accountability to them by explaining such activities. Furthermore, by continuously implementing improvement measures through PDCA cycles based on feedback from society, NEC will build relationships of trust with stakeholders, which will help to enhance its corporate value.
Promotion Framework
CSR Promotion Committee
Chaired by the executive with responsibility for CSR, this committee has as its principal members the president, senior executive vice president, the heads of each Business Unit (BU) and the executives responsible for NEC Corporation corporate staff divisions. Meeting as a rule twice a year, it is a forum for discussions on important matters relating to the promotion of CSR-driven management.
Risk Control and Compliance Committee
This committee has as its principal members the executives responsible for NEC Corporation corporate staff divisions. Meeting as a rule every month, it is a forum for studying and discussing key matters relating to the promotion of risk management and compliance across the NEC Group.
Important matters discussed by both of these committees are reported to the Executive Committee and to the Board of Directors.
CSR Functions
The Internal Control Division, the Export Control Division, and the CSR and Environmental Management Promotion Division are responsible for the promotion and coordination of CSR across the entire NEC Group. The CSR and Environmental Management Promotion Division promotes CSR-driven management through close cooperation with each divisional CSR function together with related divisions, departments and offices responsible for business planning, corporate communications, information systems, human resources, business support, materials procurement and other areas.
Global CSR promotion framework
NEC has appointed CSR Promoters to regional management companies (regional headquarters) in five key overseas regions, namely North America, Latin America, Greater China, APAC (Asia Pacific), and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). The CSR and Environmental Management Promotion Division and the regional headquarters are working closely to promote CSR management globally.
