Sustainability

At Hitachi, we believe that a more sustainable society can only be achieved by making continued contributions toward the upliftment of the deprived and betterment of the society as a whole. Hitachi brings this concept to life through its global community activities and contributions. Hitachi pioneers the way by providing both financial and volunteer support to non-profit organizations who work towards improving the lives of people and the communities through their programs and social contributions.
