Creating a sustainable world through innovation
Hitachi's global vision is to contribute to society through the development of superior, original technology and products. Our corporate and social responsibility (CSR) activities are at the heart of this vision.
On 17th and 18th March, Hitachi was one of the lead sponsors of the Business in the Community (BITC) Responsible Business Convention 2011. This video features Sir Stephen Gomersall, Group Chairman for Europe and Stephen Howard, Chief Executive for BITC.

Rapidly decreasing numbers of men of working age, and an aging population, mean that European businesses and economies face the possibility of a decreasing recruitment pool in the future. This represents a huge social issue for Europe.
As part of the Enterprise 2020 initiative from CSR Europe, Hitachi is working with Vodafone, Randstad, SAP, Evonik Industries and BASF in a collaborative venture to tackle the effects of demographic change in Europe.
