ENVIRONMENT
The Hitachi Group engages in ecosystem conservation activities, one of the action goals set to achieve our long-term Hitachi Environmental Innovation 2050 target aimed at achieving our environmental vision. The Digital Systems & Services Sector participates in three conservation activities: rural woodland conservation in Yokozawairi, Akiruno, Tokyo; forest conservation in Otani Green Space, Hachioji, Tokyo; and marine conservation in Katase Nishihama, Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture. Many employees from the Hitachi Solutions Group participate in these activities. In a beach cleanup at Katase Nishihama, participants were actively involved from the planning stage. About 40% of the approximately 200 participants on the day were from the Hitachi Solutions Group.

SOCIAL
We established an in-house community that encourages volunteer activities. We created an application to track time spent on volunteer work, and commend employees who have spent the most time on volunteer work over the year. Through community volunteer activities to aid people with economic and other needs, we take part in activities to deepen our understanding of surrounding communities and of diverse races and cultures.
