Information about Hitachi Group’s CSR activities is available in two formats: Hitachi Group Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2009 Digest (booklet, PDF) and Hitachi Group Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2009 (PDF). Hitachi Group Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2009 Digest focuses on reporting areas of CSR activity that address especially important issues relevant to the Hitachi Group.
In response to requests from stakeholders who are especially interested in the environmental field, we will publish a new booklet, Hitachi Group Environmental Sustainability Report, from 2009, providing detailed environmental transparency and information (the 2009 report is scheduled to be published at the end of July 2009). In addition to the online publication of Hitachi Group Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2009 Digest and Hitachi Group Environmental Sustainability Report 2009, we will report further details and the latest information on CSR activities and environmental activities through our Web site.
