Hitachi Energy’s commitment to ethics and integrity is not just about compliance – it’s about fostering a culture where every decision reflects the company’s values and contributes to long-term trust of our stakeholders and sustainability of our business operations. It is our code of honesty, fairness, and accountability, and serves as a universal framework for decision-making across the organization.
As one of our strategic imperatives, integrity encompasses leadership, responsibility, and accountability within our daily professional life. Hitachi Energy is committed to ensuring that employees, business partners, and suppliers always meet the highest ethical and legal standards wherever they operate.
Our Corporate Regulations provide specific guidelines for the practical application of the code in day-to-day activities, covering:
- Anti-bribery and anti-corruption
- Substance-based due diligence
- Donations and sponsorships
- Gifts, entertainment, and expenses
- Conflict of interest
- Antitrust
- Intellectual property
- Digital and data privacy
In line with this, our Supplier Code of Ethics and Business Conduct sets standards for companies and individuals operating in our supply chain.
In January 2023, Hitachi Energy obtained ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System certification. This standard is now implemented in 12 countries and 162 sites, with 42 percent of Hitachi Energy sites currently certified.
