The Hitachi Chemical Group's Concept of CSR

As a "Technologically Innovative Company", the Hitachi Chemical Group considers the essentiality of our CSR as "contributing to society through the development of superior technologies and products."

Compliance with law and conducting ethical business are a minimum responsibility as a member of society. Each employee in Hitachi Chemical Group acts with integrity.

On that basis, we provide superior technologies, products and services to contribute sustainable development of society and to be a company truly trusted by our stakeholders.

The Hitachi Chemical Group has had the Fundamental Philosophy pronouncing "We contribute to society through the development of superior, original technologies and products" on the basis of Hitachi's founding principles of "Harmony", "Sincerity" and "Pioneering Spirit".
