Basic Policy

Aiming to be a “Social Value Innovator,” NEC Corporation considers communication with stakeholders to be a critical initiative because communication provides an opportunity for us not only to recognize our obligation to carry out our social responsibility but also to understand the fundamental issues of our customers and society. Our commitment to promoting dialogue and co-creation with stakeholders is embedded in the concept of “Orchestrating” as stated in our Purpose, “Orchestrating a brighter world.”

We use our sustainability website and sustainability reports (PDF) as tools to enable this communication, disclosing the sustainability initiatives and their results as viewed from an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) prespective. NEC’s integrated report also presents the essence of our sustainability reports, mainly with a focus on “materiality,” as well as the essence of our securities report, which discloses our financial activities.
