Social Contributions

Basic stance on social contributions

Business activities are only made possible by having a healthy global environment and sustainable social development.
In order to strategically contribute to society, the Hitachi Construction Machinery Group created the “Hitachi Construction Machinery Group Social Contribution Policy” in FY2006. In order to pursue sustainability initiatives as a global group, we revised the Social Contribution Policy in April 2022. Under this policy, the Hitachi Construction Machinery Group is deeply aware of the fact that we are part of society, and in addition to participating in the resolution of social issues through business activities we also undertake initiatives to achieve an even better society through social contribution activities.

Ensure a prosperous land and society for the future. We contribute toward realizing a safe and sustainable society.

Realizing Hitachi Construction Machinery Group’s vision, as stated above, is our mission. As a company engaged in the construction and mining industries, which are essential businesses supporting social infrastructure and creating comfortable living environments, we aim to help solve diverse social and environmental issues in order to create a better future through synergistic effects between machinery and humans.

In a rapidly changing world, we expend our efforts in activities based on our identified materiality themes to meet challenges and demands from society with the goal of building healthier communities. Through collaboration with various stakeholders and by being innovative and creative in our solutions, we will contribute to community development in order to meet these challenges and the various issues that surround us on this planet.

Combating climate change is critical, not only for society but also our business. There is also an urgent need to transform into a regenerative society that leads to the reduction of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions.
Ultimately, all employees of the Hitachi Construction Machinery Group will continue to collaborate locally and globally to deliver social and environmental value to society, sharing the common value of “Kenkijin Spirit”.

To achieve these, we are focusing on the following priority areas:

1. Combating Climate Change
2. Transforming to Regenerative Economy
3. Delivering Innovative Solutions for Supporting Community
