Through our main business of the supplying of IT services, Hitachi Information Systems has expanded into a business that contributes to the promotion of corporate social responsibility via our responsiveness to the Japanese version of the SOX act, the rapid restoration of information systems when damaged, and our contributions to cities hand in hand with local governments and residents.
The fisical year 2005 marked the beginning of a variety of activities in keeping with our aim of becoming a socially responsible corporation.
Main Activities During 2005
Hitachi Information Systems undertook a broad range of CSR efforts to satisfy the varied opinions and desires of our stakeholders. Here we will report the results of our 2005 activities.
