NEC Corp

NEC's environmental policies and goals regarding climate change are discussed and formulated by the Environmental Management Promotion Committee, which is made up of the environmental promotion managers from each business unit. The Corporate Officer in charge of the Environment confirms the council's proposals and reports them to the Business Strategy Committee, an organization that is further up the organizational hierarchy and the one that provides approval at the corporate level. Risks related to climate change are also shared at the Environmental Management Promotion Committee. The Corporate Officer in charge of the Environment confirms those risks that could have a significant impact on businesses and, as necessary, reports to the Risk Control & Compliance Committee in accordance with the risk management process. In particular, climate risks and opportunities that could significantly affect businesses are also reported to the Board of Directors, as necessary. The Board of Directors deliberates on such reports and gives instructions on relevant measures, thereby providing supervision that ensures that NEC advances appropriate climate change countermeasures. [...] In fiscal 2023, participation in TCP was reported to the Business Strategy Committee and the Board of Directors, and the President approved the revision of the 2030 targets in conjunction with moving the target for net zero emissions up to 2040 from 2050. The new target is now shared by the entire Group through the revision of NEC Eco Action Plan 2025.
