Towards Sustainable Societies—Mid-term Management Plan 2024

Approach & Policy

Strategy & Target

In accordance with Hitachi’s Mission to “contribute to society through the development of superior, original technology and products,” we pursue our Social Innovation Business leveraging core strengths in IT (Information Technology) × OT (Operational Technology) × Products, and Lumada*1 to help build sustainable societies.
To respond to the increasingly complex global issues of recent years, it is essential that we conduct management from a long-term perspective and maximize Hitachi’s diverse management resources to achieve further evolution in our Social Innovation Business.
Hitachi has responded by imagining the future—what the earth, society, and people will look like and what Hitachi will act like in 2050. Based on the future, in April 2022, we back-casted to formulate the Mid-term Management Plan 2024 which clarified what Hitachi should do now and what Hitachi should achieve over the medium- to long term.

*1 Lumada: Solutions, services, and technologies that leverage Hitachi’s digital technology and are offered to customers to accelerate the digitization of customers’ businesses.

Vision Targets of the Mid-term Management Plan 2024

With the three growth drivers of Digital, Green and Innovation, the Mid-term Management Plan 2024 aims to achieve global growth.
The environment is reaching limits on a global scale as the thresholds of several of the nine planetary boundaries have already been crossed. Also, wellbeing (physical, mental, and social) is a growing global issue, therefore it is significant that we focus both on planetary boundaries and wellbeing.
Hitachi aims to resolve the increasingly complex social issues through its business, while respecting planetary boundaries and realizing wellbeing for all individuals. We will further evolve our Social Innovation Business and contribute to solving social issues.

Contributing to the SDGs

Approach & Policy

Hitachi’s Social Innovation Business aims to create sustainable societies by solving global social and environmental issues as defined by the SDGs, and we consider the business to be a source of sustainable growth for us. We strive to create social, environmental, and economic value through our Social Innovation Business, reduce negative social and environmental impacts and seek a deeper understanding of business risks arising from social and environmental changes to ensure business continuity and greater resilience.
Based on our Mid-term Management Plan 2024, we examined the relationship between the opportunities and risks associated with the SDGs and our businesses to identify 13 goals as Hitachi priority SDGs issues: five goals through which we make particularly significant impacts through our key businesses and eight goals through which we particularly contribute in the course of our corporate activities.
Through our active involvement across a broad range of business fields, we believe we can contribute extensively to the achievement of SDGs beyond the 13 goals identified, and we will strive to contribute to the achievement of all 17 SDGs.
