TOKYO, July 16, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - NEC Corporation has released its "NEC CSR Report 2010," which discloses the practices carried out in pursuit of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. This report consists of the Web based "NEC Annual CSR Report 2010," and the "NEC CSR Digest 2010" publication that highlights seven CSR themes. http://www.nec.co.jp/csr/en/
NEC's CSR aims to realize "an information society friendly to humans and the earth," as described in the NEC Group Vision 2017, by collaborating with stakeholders to help solve issues facing both society and the planet through business practices that maintain the highest levels of compliance.
This report focuses particularly on NEC's activities supporting two of its seven CSR themes, "Include Everyone in the Digital Society" and "Address Climate Change and Environmental Preservation."
Primary NEC CSR Report 2010 content
- NEC formulates the Mid-Term Growth Plan "V2012 - Beyond boundaries, Toward our Vision." Under V2012, NEC aims to solve social issues by focusing on three business fields, "Cloud Business (C&C Cloud)," "Global Business," and "New Business (including environmental and energy business)." In line with this, NEC recently formulated medium-term objectives for CSR activities spanning fiscal 2010 to 2012.
- Include Everyone in the Digital Society
In Argentina's San Juan Province, due to the lack of a network linking schools with one another, or with the San Juan Ministry of Education, school administration has become insufficient and the quality of education has deteriorated. In order to resolve these issues, NEC Argentina introduced a cloud computing general education system that enhances the efficiency of school administration and the quality of education.
NEC's "Include Everyone in the Digital Society" theme also features the creation of businesses to help foster digital inclusion in emerging and developing countries. For this purpose, NEC has also promoted internal awareness activities and human resource development with the help of the United Nations Development Programme and a range of qualified experts.
- Address Climate Change and Environmental Preservation
The new "NEC Group Environmental Management Action Plan 2017/2030" was formulated based on three key points for achievement between fiscal 2017 and 2030; "Low Carbon," "Ecosystem and Biodiversity Preservation," and "Resource Recycling and Conservation." Through the provision of solutions that are friendly to the earth, including cloud computing based information management systems, energy efficient offices, lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and smart grid/power storage, NEC aims to help reduce CO2 emissions (*2) by 15 million tons in fiscal 2017 and 50 million tons in fiscal 2030.
