Hitachi Rail’s Environment, Social, Governance and Sustainability strategy and road map guides us to our ambitions as a sustainability leader. It provides a framework for decision making and goal setting that keeps us on track to become a Climate Change Innovator.
Environment, Social, Governance and Sustainability
A Material ESG Strategy
Materiality analysis is the method companies use to understand which topics are of most concern to stakeholders and how they impact the business model.
At Hitachi Rail, we engage nearly 2,000 internal and external stakeholders to analyse environmental, social, and economic material aspects and related impacts, and identify the most relevant material topics to be included in our strategy and reporting.
As a result, we have set four strategic priorities.
Occupational Health and Safety
We guarantee, through the creation of safe and healthy working environments, the psycho-physical health of all personnel and all those people who access offices, maintenance centres and production centres.
Ethics, Integrity and Transparency
We act in compliance with the regulations in force in the individual countries in which the Organisation carries out its activities, implementing controls to prevent and monitor corruption in all its forms and to ensure ethical and transparent business conduct.
Customer Focus
We develop products and services according to criteria of honesty, fairness, transparency, and collaboration to maintain a solid relationship with customers based open dialogue.
Reduction of Emissions and Mitigation of Climate Change
We effectively manage the potential environmental impacts of Hitachi Rail's activities and contributing to the overall reduction of atmospheric emissions.
In today’s world, faced with climate emergency, the pursuit of sustainability isn't just a choice – it's a responsibility.
Giuseppe Marino
Group CEO, Hitachi Rail
Impact and Targets
We are becoming a Climate Change Innovator. Our 2024 mid-term roadmap sets ambitious environmental targets and establishes new performance measurements and transparent disclosures to drive our day-to-day activities.
