With the rise of AI and other technological advancements, as well as increasing environmental burdens and a shrinking workforce, the social environment is undergoing dynamic changes.
The Hitachi Group recognizes these shifts in the business environment and tackles social challenges as a digital-centric enterprise by combining its strengths in mission-critical IT/OT integration with advanced AI technologies.
As a member supporting the Hitachi Group's Social Innovation Business, the Hitachi Systems Group promotes sustainability management and provides one-stop services from system development to operation, maintenance, and construction. By combining domain knowledge cultivated at customer sites with IT and OT, we contribute to enhancing customers corporate value through DX services that enable frontline workers operational reforms through collaborative implementation and managed services that realize secure and safe digital environments for customers. As a company supporting diverse customer operations through IT, it is essential that every employee acts with high ethical standards and a sense of responsibility and continuously grows. Therefore, we conduct business activities under the Hitachi Group Corporate Ethics and Code of Conduct. Furthermore, with "Safety and Health Take Precedence Over All Else" as our fundamental guiding principle, we aim to remain a corporate group trusted by our customers and society. We have established the human capital strategy "SMILE∞2.0," centered on two pillars: "Growth Opportunities" that support employees' autonomous development and "Safety and Security" that ensures a workplace environment maintaining physical and mental health. We strive to harmonize both pillars, aiming for the growth of both individuals and the company. In an ever-changing world, we respect the infinite potential and humanity within people, contributing to the realization of a truly affluent society as stated in our corporate philosophy.
