The Company received its first Corporate SER in 2019. The Company is a potential constituent of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standardethics.eu\/\">SE<\/a> Global Railway Manufacturers Index due to be published by end June <br \/>\n2024.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitachirail.com\/\">Hitachi, Ltd.<\/a> is a multinational company engaged in a variety of industries, from digital systems to the railway industry via electronic devices, communications and energy solutions. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standardethics.eu\/\">Standard Ethics<\/a> methodology, the company is committed to keeping track with a progressive alignment to international ESG indications. It has standard extra-financial reporting, human rights policies and relies on a Code of Conduct, which offers clear formal references to supranational sustainability guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>As things stand, the E (Environment) area of the ESG acronym appears to be adequately addressed. If the current \u2018Strong\u2019 (EE) rating is to be maintained, however, greater focus will also be needed in the S and G segments. Further effectiveness in the area of gender equality, for instance, would be welcome: the targets set by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitachirail.com\/\">Hitachi<\/a> for achieving gender balance appear to be low, and there is a large gender disparity in the 12-member Board with only two of the members being of the least represented gender.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box\">\n<p><strong>More Like This<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalrailwayreview.com\/news\/167545\/grant-accessibility\/\">Grant propels business to new heights with pioneering accessibility work<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalrailwayreview.com\/news\/167287\/cn-milton\/\">CN: The Milton Logistics Hub is critical to North American supply chains<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalrailwayreview.com\/news\/167510\/innovator-bristol\/\">Innovators selected for Bristol train station trials<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standard Ethics has upgraded Hitachi\u2019s Corporate Standard Ethics Rating (SER) to \u201cEE\u201d 1 from the previous \u201cEE-\u201c.
