Operational management of environmental impacts

Using a plan, do, check, act (PDCA) approach, our operational environmental targets, im-pacts, and improvement activities   are rooted in ISO 14001.  

Environmental risks and opportunities assessments   within our business sites are aligned with our wider HSE risk and opportunity approach.  

In addition to top-level targets and high-impact sustainability commitments under our sustainability strategy, the targets are supported by underpinning KPIs that are driven by our operations. In 2024, we set our environmental targets for our operations involving the following environmental impacts, following an extensive exercise across Hitachi Energy operations, where sites in the scope of each KPI have provided their own site-level targets, which are consolidated into Hitachi Energy targets. These targets establish the foundation for how Hitachi Energy will measure environmental performance across our operations for years to come, aligned with the approach of Hitachi Group.
