Overseas Engagements of the NEC Group
Case Examples
Environmental activities at North American subsidiary
In FY 2011, the Medium-term Environmental Plan was actively promoted focusing on the following four activity themes.
- Promotion of product compliance and eco products
- Reduction in environmental impact
- Enhancement of information transmission
- Enhancement of environmental awareness
An environmental awareness survey was conducted at NEC's North American corporations for the first time for the enhancement of environmental awareness of employees. A questionnaire survey was undertaken on comprehension of environmental terms and trends and on the power of action paying attention to the environment in business and in company life, to understand the current status of environmental awareness of employees. The survey showed that the employees had general environmental information, knowledge, and power of action, but that information was lacking on the medium- and long-term environmental plans of the NEC Group and on their own environmental technology. Points of reference to be taken into consideration in future environmental training could be identified. To further reduce the environmental impact of offices, posters on measures to reduce energy and paper, on promotion of resource recycling, and on other topics were posted more thoroughly.
REACH compliance by European subsidiaries
Under the REACH regulation, which regulates all chemicals that are manufactured in Europe or imported to Europe, if a molded article (product, etc.) contains substances of very high concern in an amount that exceeds 0.1wt%, the supplier is required to disclose this information to the receiving party. This is a binding requirement for BtoB business.
In order to ensure the efficient provision of information in compliance with REACH, a system for providing customers with this information has been established under the leadership of NEC Europe, the umbrella organization for Europe.
Activities in China
Since around 2006, environment-related regulations in China are being newly established or strengthened. In order to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations in China, NEC has established an environmental compliance audit system for NEC Group subsidiaries in China.
