Climate

The global path toward limiting global warming, as envisioned by the Paris Agreement, is a critical challenge for our planet, governments, and businesses. To actively support this drive, we have defined and validated ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets to set our net-zero trajectory. We have aligned our internal climate goals and product strategies with a critical threshold: preventing global warming from exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

We recognize the risks of climate change and are determined to mitigate them, aligning our efforts with UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and the Paris Agreement. 

Hitachi Energy is contributing to grid resilience and digital transformation, recognizing that a robust, flexible energy infrastructure is essential to withstand climate shocks and ensure energy security. This includes:

• Innovating grid technologies that can adapt to variable renewable energy sources
• Enhancing system reliability through digital solutions and predictive maintenance
• Collaborating with stakeholders to co-create climate-resilient energy systems

These efforts support both mitigation and adaptation goals, helping communities and industries prepare for and respond to climate-related disruptions. 

Moreover, our portfolio is designed to advance a world ready for a carbon-neutral future where electricity will be the backbone of the energy system. 

This contributes significantly to the Hitachi Group target of 100 million metric tons of avoided emissions per year under their Environmental Action Plan for 2024 (FY22–FY24), helping our customers to reduce their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. 

We remain dedicated to continuous improvement, innovation, and collaboration to maintain our performance aligned with these goals.
