Basic Policy

We use our sustainability website and the ESG Databook (PDF) as stakeholder communication tools, disclosing sustainability initiatives and their results as viewed from an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) perspective. In addition, in the NEC Integrated Report, we present a comprehensive picture of our financial and non-financial initiatives(ESG/future financial) from the perspective of management for sustainability, with a focus on initiatives for addressing materiality.

Scope of This Report

This publication focuses on initiatives during fiscal 2024 (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024), but also covers certain events and activities outside that period.

In this report, “NEC” and “the NEC Group” refer to NEC Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates in and outside Japan, and “the Company” refers to NEC Corporation.

Disclosure Format

NEC Sustainability Website and NEC ESG Databook

NEC regularly discloses the latest information on its sustainability activities via its sustainability website.
Furthermore, it emphasizes detailed coverage of information to ensure conformance with international reporting initiatives such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), while addressing the needs of sustainability professionals such as ESG research institutions, news media, universities, and NPOs/NGOs.

The NEC ESG Databook posted on the sustainability website is published each year as a PDF. Our sustainability initiatives were compiled and published in the Sustainability Report between 2018 and 2023. However, from 2023 onward, the report has been renamed as the NEC ESG Databook . This publication presents our ESG goals, results and future plans and initiatives in more detail, and the content is easier to navigate.

Reference Guidelines

With the aim of conforming with international reporting initiatives, NEC reports on its sustainability activities using the following guidelines as references.
In addition, the report was created with reference to the four thematic areas of the ISSB and SSBJ exposure drafts. Note that risk management also includes opportunity generation, and therefore appears as “risk management (including opportunity generation).”
