Hitachi Energy is deeply committed to upholding all internationally recognized human rights across our operations and throughout our value chain.
Our commitment is grounded in key global standards, including the International Bill of Human Rights, the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) eight core conventions, and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Through our human rights framework and supporting programs, we affirm our dedication to principles such as non-discrimination, and the elimination of child labor, forced labor, and modern slavery.
We actively promote safe and healthy working conditions, protect against retaliation, and uphold the rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining. These values are not only embedded in our policies, they are integral to how we operate and engage with our people, partners, and communities.
