Build reliable information and communications infrastructure
NEC’s Seven CSR Initiatives
Include everyone in
the digital society
NEC is working to promote quality
workplaces that respect diversity, and to
cultivate human resources on a global
basis. Programs to maintain the health and
safety of employees are ongoing. NEC also
encourages employees to participate in
local volunteer activities to promote greater
consideration of the relationship with
society and sensitivity to social needs.
NEC must strengthen risk management
and compliance practices to ensure that
business management is always sound
from the standpoint of society. To this end,
we will develop more secure internal systems
and procedures across the NEC Group,
and strengthen supply chain initiatives.
NEC considers customer value from a
social perspective and seeks to work with
customers to find solutions to social
issues. Accomplishing this goal requires
strong customer relationships built on
trust. NEC is continually focused on
building customer trust through initiatives
targeting increased customer satisfaction
(CS), quality and security.
NEC aims to solve various social issues, including addressing climate change and environmental preservation, establishing a safe and secure society,
and including everyone in the digital society. Highly reliable information and communications infrastructure is essential to achieving this goal.
NEC seeks to apply innovation to develop highly reliable information and communications infrastructure to support “an information society
friendly to humans and the earth.”
Human activities are now recognized
worldwide as a cause of climate change in
the form of global warming. The significant
link between economic activities and CO2
emissions has become a particularly serious
social issue.
NEC is not only reducing internal CO2
emissions, but also working to supply
IT-driven solutions that help to lower CO2
emissions across society. Efforts are also
directed at preserving ecosystems and
biodiversity, as well as promoting recycling
and conservation of resources.
The digital society will highlight economic
and digital divides that prevent some people
from deriving benefits from its realization of
convenient, affluent lifestyles.
Through the application of information
and network technologies, NEC will remain
a good corporate citizen by helping to
ensure that the benefits of the digital
society enhance the lives of all people
irrespective of their circumstances,
including seniors, people with disabilities
and citizens of developing nations.

Strengthen risk
management and
enforce compliance

Address climate
change and environmental
preservation
Global society faces various safety and
security issues, including addressing natural
disasters, responding to burgeoning healthcare
and medical needs, enhancing information
security and ensuring human security.
By harnessing cutting-edge IT and
network solutions, NEC aims to help
establish a society where people can lead
safer and more secure lives.
