jointly awarded by the Minister of the Environment of Japan for the Commendation for Global Warming
Prevention Activity 2006 for their remarkable contribution to technology and product development.
Further, in April 2007, NEC established Automotive Energy Supply Corporation, a joint venture with
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., which is committed to develop forward-looking green technologies in its medium-
term environmental action plan. The new company plans to further enhance the technologies it has
developed thus far and supply rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to the automotive industry through-
out the world.
NEC Internet Safety Program
Personal computers and the Internet are highly effective means
of communication. However, problems resulting from Internet
crime have become a major social issue. By conducting the NEC
Internet Safety Program, NEC helps to eliminate the digital divide
and provide an opportunity for participants to learn firsthand how
to use the Internet safely and enjoyably. In fiscal 2007, the program
was expanded to include participants 65 years or older.
Childcare Support Program
Japan’s low birthrate and aging society, and the resulting
contraction in its labor force, have become serious social issues.
Society has high hopes for women who choose to continue
working after marriage and childbirth. At NEC, we are striving to
create a society in which women can exercise their full potential,
while realizing and balancing the joys of having children with the
development of careers and professional capabilities. In fiscal
2007, we began offering childcare support programs for our
employees and local residents. There we teach them how to
care for themselves physically and mentally so that they can
make a smooth transition back to the workplace after their
children are born.
