At NEC, we consider CSR* initiatives to be inseparable from corporate activities. We aim to ensure the sustainable development of society and the NEC Group by implementing The NEC Way.
It is crucial that companies recognize that their existence is premised on society, and at the same time is part and parcel of the global environment that is precious to all forms of life on the earth. NEC seeks to realize "an information society friendly to humans and the earth," as set forth in the NEC Group Vision 2017 based on its Corporate Philosophy. To this end, in the course of daily operations, every employee will rigorously adhere to corporate ethics and compliance standards, practice the NEC Group Core Values (what we value and base our behavior on), and help solve issues faced by customers and society.
Our important responsibilities also include ensuring full accountability through the active disclosure of information on the results of our CSR initiatives and related issues, and communicating with stakeholders to improve our corporate activities and build trust.
NEC considers CSR-driven management to be management based on the foregoing approaches.
* CSR = Corporate Social Responsibility
In fiscal 2010, we formulated the NEC Group Management Policy, which sets forth basic approaches and rules that must be shared by the NEC Group, with the aim of establishing Group-wide and Global consolidated management foundations.
The entire NEC Group will share and implement The NEC Way and the NEC Group Management Policy, as the foundations for promoting CSR management. The NEC Group Management Policy contains rules for implementing The NEC Way in the course of executing actual business operations.
NEC is strengthening risk management and compliance within its own organization as well as at Group companies and suppliers, to ensure that NEC products or services, employee actions or other factors do not result in incidents or wrongdoing that cause problems for customers or other stakeholders.
NEC seeks to solve issues that affect customers and society through innovation in its business activities and through social contribution programs undertaken as a good corporate citizen.
NEC actively discloses everyday activities to stakeholders and society at large in publications such as the CSR Report to fulfill its accountability to them by explaining such activities. Furthermore, by continuously implementing PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) management cycles to improve CSR-related initiatives based on feedback from society, NEC aims to build relationships of trust with stakeholders, which will help to enhance its corporate value.
For the purpose of conducting CSR activities, NEC has selected seven priority themes that are important to its business strategies from the standpoints of "Stakeholder Interests and Social Concerns" and "NEC’s Perspective."
Chaired by the executive with responsibility for CSR, this committee has as its principal members the president, senior executive vice president, the heads of each Business Unit (BU) and the executives responsible for NEC Corporation corporate staff divisions. Meeting as a rule twice a year, it is a forum for discussions on important matters relating to the promotion of CSR-driven management.
This committee has as its principal members the executives responsible for NEC Corporation corporate staff divisions. Meeting as a rule every month, it is a forum for studying and discussing key matters relating to the promotion of risk management and compliance across the NEC Group.
Important matters discussed by both of these committees are reported to the Executive Committee and to the Board of Directors.
The Internal Control Division, the Export Control Division, the CSR Promotion Division and the Environmental Management Division are responsible for the promotion and coordination of CSR across the entire NEC Group. The CSR Promotion Division promotes CSR-driven management through close cooperation with each divisional CSR function together with related divisions, departments and offices responsible for business planning, corporate communications, business systems, human resources, business support, materials procurement and other areas.
Managers responsible for CSR promotion (focused mainly on risk management and enforcement of compliance) have been put in place at all Business Units of NEC Corporation and NEC Group companies.
