Environmental: Sustainability: Hitachi
- ️Hitachi, Ltd.
Hitachi defines itself by the contribution we make in tackling society’s challenges. This starts with addressing our environmental impact on the world around us – working to decarbonize our entire business and more.
We also create a positive impact on the world. Accelerating progress towards net zero shapes our entire commercial business. Seeking out partnerships and driving innovation, we’re committed to accelerating a sustainable future for all.
We are acting across three priority areas to improve our environmental impact:
We are working to become carbon neutral across our operating sites by 2030, and throughout our value chain by 2050.
Adopting circular business practices, we are improving our resource and water use by 50% in our own operations by 2050.
We are defining our impact on biodiversity and nature, and taking steps to better understand how we can operate in line with planetary boundaries.
Carbon reduction roadmap for Hitachi operations
As a global business with a portfolio and partnership network that spans multiple industries and geographies, Hitachi’s environmental impact extends far beyond our operating sites. We are collaborating with our supply partners to monitor and track progress on reducing emissions throughout our value chain.
We are also committed to supporting the wider societal change needed to help ensure a more sustainable future. As a responsible business, we collaborate with and contribute to a wide range of external initiatives. From being a Global Alliance Member of the Earthshot Prize to a signatory to the Business for Nature initiative, we contribute to societal change beyond our business.

Transforming our environmental impact requires rethinking the way in which we produce, consume and process the planet's resources.
We are adopting circular approaches to business that allow us to reduce waste, optimize how we use precious natural resources and become more water-efficient. This is both in our own operations and throughout our global value chain.
How we’re putting circularity to work across our business
Hitachi is committed to minimizing the difference between positive and negative impacts on nature as part of our long-term environmental targets.
Roadmap to minimize nature-related impacts
We work closely to find new synergies, redefine business models and forge change
Finding new solutions at speed relies on collaboration with diverse perspectives from our colleagues, our various businesses and crucially from our partners.
