Standard Ethics<\/a> has upgraded Hitachi\u2019s<\/a> Corporate Standard Ethics Rating (SER) to \u201cEE\u201d 1 from the previous \u201cEE-\u201c. The Company received its first Corporate SER in 2019. The Company is a potential constituent of the new SE<\/a> Global Railway Manufacturers Index due to be published by end June
\n2024.<\/p>\n

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 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

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 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
