Sustainability Report 2015 Highlights

Humanity today is buffeted by dramatic change.
We must tackle deep-reaching issues that
impact our society on a global scale: energy andenvironmental problems, water-related issues,
population explosions, increasing poverty, andthe graying of societies. Companies are called
upon to work with diverse stakeholders to findthe solutions our society needs. Technologicalinnovation built on advanced IT is coming toplay an ever-greater role in addressingthese issues.
Since its foundation, Hitachi has aspired inits business activities to fulfill its mission: tocontribute to society through the development ofsuperior, original technology and products. Today
we remain committed to this mission. By
integrating the infrastructural and information
technologies we have created during our years ofexperience, we provide new solutions in areas liketransportation and energy systems and watersupply systems using our desalination technology.
These areas represent our Social Innovation
Business, through which we seek to contribute tosolutions to the global issues we all face.
Collaborative Creation with Our Customers
The social issues that we seek to address
through our Social Innovation Business are
growing more complex all the time, and there
are considerable differences in the needs of ourcustomers and of societies in various countries
and regions. To accurately and swiftly grasp thenature of the problems facing our customers
and these societies, we must position ourselvesclose to the customers and consider the needed
solutions together with them. Hitachi believes
that this “collaborative creation” is a key way toapproach the issues. As our Social Innovation
Business expands worldwide, to advancecollaborative creation we must foster mutual
trust with national and regional governments,

local communities, academic societies,
nongovernmental organizations, and otherstakeholders and address their respective
needs surely and reliably.
At Hitachi, we are working to promote
diversity from perspectives including gender,
nationality, and values—all the aspects of each
person’s individuality. We are also striving tosecure the human resources prepared to shineon the global stage. In these ways we seek
to foster global leaders who can drive ourinnovation into the future. We furthermore strive
to share the principles of “Basics and Ethics,”
the foundation of our corporate philosophy, withall our stakeholders. This goes beyond
dedication to corporate ethics, such ascompliance with laws and international social
standards, to encompass our business activities
that aim to enhance our value as a company.
In addition to raising our economic value
as a company, we work together with ourcustomers to create things of true value tosociety. In this way we pursue a safer, moresecure, more comfortable society for people
around the world.

Providing Stable, Sustainable Powerto Meet Rising Electricity Demand
Electricity is a vital lifeline supporting people’s
existence around the world, and demand is on
the rise, particularly in emerging countries withgrowing populations. If electricity supplies areinterrupted, transportation, medical, and otherservices provided by social infrastructure cease
to function. Stable supply relies on power
generation as well as transmission anddistribution systems that bring electricity to allusers. Renewables such as wind and solar canhelp prevent climate change, but supply stability
remains a concern with these sources.

Integrated Generation/Transmission and Distribution Systems
for a More Stable Electricity Supply

To provide a stable supply of electricity while reducing the environmental load, we must promote renewables while building
grid infrastructure that matches usage conditions in each market. With deep experience and technical prowess in the energy
field, Hitachi provides total energy solutions covering all facets of customers’ needs.

Energy Storage Solutions for a More Stable
Electricity Supply

USA

The United States boasts world-leading wind and solar generation capacity byadvancing energy market liberalization. But this has led to concern about
instability in electricity supply when changing weather causes fluctuations in
power output. Energy storage systems are taking the stage as a means ofaddressing this. Hitachi has developed a container-type energy storage systemthat could help stabilize electricity grids by absorbing supply fluctuations.
Containing about 1,600 Li-ion power cells capable of 8,000 charge cycles, thehigh-capacity energy storage system has a 10-year useful life and can be
deployed in multiple units to supply as much power as needed.

Applying IT in Wide-Area Grid Stability
Solution to Prevent Blackout

USA

Lightning strikes on power lines and other accidents can cause instantaneousvoltage drops, leading to power swings that cause fluctuations in voltage orcurrent and leading at times to major blackouts. For more stable grids,
improvements in electricity quality need to be achieved by constant monitoring
and control of electric flow during transmission. Together with the US
Department of Energy’s Bonneville Power Administration, Hitachi has launcheda demonstration project for a grid stabilization system. By constantly gathering
data on grid conditions and using IT to analyze it, the system helps to prevent
power grid overload and blackouts.

As populations increasingly concentrate inurban areas, transport infrastructure provision
is falling behind, especially in developing
economies. This leads to road congestion,
traffic accidents, and environmental problems
like air pollution. In the developed world, too,demographic and industrial shifts are stressing
the existing transport infrastructure beyond its
capacity to cope.

Pursuing Robust Security Against
Increasing Threats
Our businesses and daily lives are supported
by social infrastructure including medical care,lifeline utilities, and transportation networks. By
networking this infrastructure, we makeservices even more convenient. But threats tosocial infrastructure are growing more diverse,
from natural disasters to cyber attacks. When adisaster or incident affects urban areas, which
rely heavily on infrastructure, services can grind
to a halt and impact wider society. We must
respond swiftly to these threats and ensure
continuity of vital services.

Addressing Diverse Threats in Adaptive, Responsive,
and Cooperative Ways

Security measures cannot impede social infrastructure’s usability or comfort. The goal is a robust, flexible society where we areprotected from threats before they appear. Hitachi pursues solutions that are Adaptive to address diversifying threats;
Responsive to minimize recovery time; and Cooperative to bring multiple responders together.

Keeping Major Facilities Both Convenientand Secure Against Diversified Threats

JAPAN“Defense in Depth” to Protect Against
Rising Cyber Attack ThreatsJAPANThe growing variety of threats to event spaces, sport stadiums, and otherlarge-scale facilities include flooding from severe rainstorms, blackouts, andtransportation system stoppages. There is a rising global need for antiterrorism
measures, but enhancing security without impacting user convenience requires
sophisticated technology.
Hitachi develops security technologies that improve both safety andconvenience in three areas: personal authentication, explosives detection, andsuspicious person tracking. By connecting these technologies with IT, we candesign systems that let ordinary users through unimpeded while detecting
dangerous substances and tracking where their carriers go in real time.

Social infrastructure control systems are increasingly being connected tocyberspace, opening them up to the risk of cyber attack. If an attack
interrupts the services this infrastructure provides, damage could spread
rapidly and affect much of society.
To minimize damage to social infrastructure and bring it back online assoon as possible, Hitachi takes a “defense in depth” approach, enhancing
security with several defensive layers ready to function in turn. Greaterlevels of security are needed as social infrastructure needs rise globally,and Hitachi is helping to standardize the security field to put more robust
foundations in place.
