NEC’s Corporate Social Responsibility
NEC believes that enhancing its profitability through sound business activities while enforcing corporate
ethics and observance of laws is the fundamental tenet of management. We also believe that NEC
should remain actively engaged in the solution of various issues faced by society while protecting the
Earth’s environment. Our aim is to help resolve these issues through business activities.
Extending CSR Promotion Activities to Business Partners
At NEC, we strive to fulfill our social responsibilities through daily business activities. Furthermore, we
believe that ties with business partners are indispensable to promoting this. Accordingly, NEC has
been undertaking cooperative activities with business partners across its supply chain while fostering
mutual understanding.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006 To extend our CSR promotion activities, we formulated the Supply-chain
CSR Guidelines for our business partners.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 We surveyed 20 of our Japanese and overseas business partners to
analyze the status of CSR activities in our supply chain.
In the years ahead, we plan to involve more business partners and use the results as a basis for
continuing to increase cooperation in CSR activities from a long-term perspective.
Development of Rechargeable Batteries that Contribute to the Prevention
of Global Warming
In this era of climate change, electric
vehicles (EV), which emit almost no green-
house gases are expected to help pre-
vent global warming. The lithium-ion
batteries developed by NEC Lamilion
Energy, Ltd. provide high power and a
large capacity with rapid charging capa-
bility, and are thus suitable as a power
source for EVs. In recognition of this
breakthrough, NEC Lamilion Energy, The
Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorpo-
rated and Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. were
NEC’s business activities are based on various relationships with
shareholders and other investors, customers, business partners,
communities, employees and others.
NEC aims to achieve sustainable growth with society by fulfilling its
corporate social responsibilities (CSR) as a good corporate citizen and
enhancing its corporate value.
