Hitachi’s history with Mexico dates to 1938, when Hitachi sold motors in Mexico. In 1959, Hitachi established a Mexican Representative Office. Since the 1950s, Hitachi has sold a variety of generating units for hydro and thermal utility power stations, as well as industrial equipment for oil and gas, steelmaking and other industrial sectors. Beginning in the 1980s, Hitachi sold televisions to Mexican consumers, making Hitachi a well-known brand in the Mexico market.

Today, Hitachi focuses on manufacturing, and supplying and managing the corresponding logistics for the automotive industry. In addition, Hitachi has operations producing industrial materials, information technology and healthcare equipment.

Looking ahead, Hitachi aims to be actively engaged in the Social Innovation Business in Mexico. By addressing social challenges through a combination of IT and OT, and delivering superior products and services, Hitachi hopes to contribute to a safer and more prosperous future.

Hitachi’s obligation to the environment is as important as Hitachi’s commitment to social innovation. The world’s population, currently at 7.6 billion, is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050¹. At the same time, worldwide economic growth – led by emerging countries – has contributed to global warming, caused by a rise in CO₂ emissions from growing fossil fuel use. The depletion of energy, water, mineral reserves and other resources due to increased demand, as well as ecosystem destruction and other environment problems are also worsening.

Hitachi believes that to solve these environmental problems and to realize a sustainable society where humankind can thrive, we must help to reduce the burden of human activity on the environment. As a company engaged in the Social Innovation Business, we aim to achieve a sustainable society by employing our company’s resources to reduce the burden of human activity on the environment. Here are two examples of Hitachi’s commitment in Mexico:

To better define the kind of society that Hitachi envisions from a long-term perspective, we created an Environmental Vision. Our Environmental Vision envisions a low-carbon society; a resource efficient society; a harmonized society with nature. To achieve such a sustainable society, we established a set of long-term environmental targets called Hitachi Environmental Innovation 2050 and an Environmental Action Plan that sets targets for every three years.

Hitachi’s purpose as a company is to solve global issues through our Social Innovation Business, which is aimed at creating a safer, more convenient and more comfortable lifestyle for people around the world and a more sustainable future. In its role as a leader in promoting global sustainability, the Hitachi Group is committed to being a good corporate citizen.

Through its global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, Hitachi is engaged in tackling global challenges such as poverty, inequality in education, the spread of disease, resource and energy issues and population concentration in cities.
