Dialogue and Co-creation with Our Stakeholders

Customers’ and society’s values are constantly changing. To supply products and services that deliver real value, NEC needs to incorporate processes for dialogue and co-creation with stakeholders into its corporate activities.

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” within the NEC Way. The following are examples of the main dialogue and co-creation initiatives that we conducted in fiscal 2024.
