NEC has an unchanging corporate philosophy: “NEC strives through ’C&C’ to help advance
societies worldwide toward deepened mutual understanding and the fulfillment of human
potential.” Based on this, we have formulated the NEC Group Vision 2017, which expresses
our aspirations as follows: “To be a leading global company leveraging the power of innovation
to realize an information society friendly to humans and the earth.”
NEC must contribute to society and grow its businesses globally. The most important CSR
themes in information and communications technology, NEC’s core business domain, are
eliminating the digital divide and addressing global warming and other environmental issues.
In 2017, I hope that NEC will have won recognition for helping to solve these two issues in a
major way.
Modern society has various drawbacks, not the least of which is the fact that many convenient
services unless they can access and use information and communications devices. We want to
help develop technologies that revolve around people, not the other way around—and are easy
for anyone to use. NEC has strengths that differ from those of home appliance manufacturers
in that it supplies not only information terminals, but also networks and services over them. By
capitalizing on these sorts of strengths, we aim to help build a society where everybody can
reliably and securely access information when needed and freely communicate over networks,
using any kind of terminal.
In terms of the environment, as IT and networking equipment consume more and more power,
reducing this power consumption has become a major issue in the fight against global warming.
NEC offers environmental management solutions based on energy-efficient semiconductors,
power control software and other advances. We have also decided to start volume production of
lithium-ion batteries for automobiles through a joint venture with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Besides
supplying IT equipment with low CO2 emissions as mentioned earlier, we aim to help reduce
society’s entire CO2 footprint by reducing CO2 emissions from our own production activities and
by providing solutions that encourage our business clients to change the way they work mainly
by adopting paperless procedures and reducing unnecessary transportation.
Creating an “information society friendly to humans and the earth” is our mission and will
open up major business opportunities that will fully leverage our capacity to innovate.
