About Hitachi
ENVIRONMENTAL VISION Hitachi will resolve environmental issues and achieve both a higher quality of life and a sustainable society through its Social Innovation Business in collaborative creation with its stakeholders.
Hitachi’s Commitment to Environmental Sustainability In addition to our commitment to Social Innovation, Hitachi also recognizes our obligation to environmental sustainability. The world’s population, currently at 7.3 billion, is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. At the same time, worldwide economic growth continues to contribute to global warming, induced by multiple causes such as growing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use as well as deforestation. Growing demands are depleting energy, water, mineral reserves and other natural resources, while ecosystem destruction and other environmental issues are also worsening. Hitachi believes that we can contribute to solve these environmental issues and to realize a sustainable society where humankind can thrive by employing our company’s resources and experience, as a company engaged in the Social Innovation Business. Our Environmental Vision aims that through our Social Innovation Business in cooperation with stakeholders, Hitachi will solve environmental problems and realize both improved quality of life and sustainable society. To achieve this goal, we are targeting to reduce our value chain’s CO2 emissions by 80%, improve water use efficiency by 50% and minimize our impact on ecosystems by 2050.

Social Innovation in Action To fulfill on Hitachi’s Social Innovation Business, Hitachi has a number of use cases in key industries such as automotive, public safety and healthcare that illustrate the company’s commitment to be an innovation partner for the IoT era.
PUBLIC SAFETY
The data-driven ways your city keeps you safe Times are getting tougher for criminals, thanks to technological advancements in public safety. Public spaces today are protected by surveillance systems, from security cameras to gunshot detectors, which form a digitized infrastructure that makes it easier to detect and prevent crimes, or catch offenders faster when crimes occur. However, for most public safety and security organizations, it can be difficult to manage and extract insight from all the resulting data and video streams – human operators often can’t keep up. Hitachi has developed a comprehensive portfolio of public safety and security solutions to address these challenges, helping private enterprises, law enforcement, and governments agencies to keep their workplaces, communities and assets safer and make them smarter and more efficient.

IoT
The IoT revolution is underway. We’re made for IoT. You’ve heard about the Internet of Things (IoT) – the network of physical objects embedded with electronics, software and sensors that enable the collection and sharing of connected data.

As one of the few companies specializing in both OT and IT, Hitachi is uniquely poised to drive Social Innovation solutions to deliver smarter, safer and healthier societies.

ENERGY
The next-generation grid that will keep power on during blackouts Power outages cost the U.S. economy between $104 and $164 billion each year. Understandably, communities and businesses are seeking new localized strategies to prepare for shocks to their energy supply. Motivated by the outsized impact of power disruptions on families and communities, Hitachi Social Innovation Business is developing local solutions. Hitachi has become a leader in the use of microgrids to enhance the energy resilience of local communities. Working closely with 12 New York communities, Hitachi is helping to identify critical facilities, plan the development of on-site energy generation and design a microgrid that will allow these facilities to stay powered when regional grids go down. As other states and countries look to replicate the success of early adopters like New York, the power grid may finally be the beacon of hope we’ve been waiting for.

TRANSPORTATION
Rail projects are driving mass transit in the U.S. What to do when your city’s mass transit cars are past their prime? You call Hitachi. Hitachi Rail USA, Inc. opened a Metrorail manufacturing facility in Miami- Dade County in 2016. The facility will manufacture 136 rail cars needed to replace the county’s aging Metrorail fleet. The new metro system will be equipped with low energy consumption capabilities and Wi-Fi connections for passengers. The rail cars will also include sensors to alert operators to maintenance issues, which will reduce downtime. The first cars will be completed by the end of 2016. In addition to the Miami-Dade project, Hitachi is also building rail cars for Honolulu, Hawaii in its Pittsburg, California manufacturing facility. When the system begins operations in 2018, it will be the first driverless rail transit system in the U.S.
