NEC Awarded "Gold" CSR Rating by EcoVadis for Advanced Sustainability Performance

TOKYO, Mar 10, 2017 - (JCN Newswire) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) has been awarded a "Gold" Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rating for the third consecutive time by EcoVadis, a leading evaluator of supplier sustainability, after ranking in the top 1% of all suppliers evaluated.

EcoVadis operates the first collaborative platform for rating and monitoring supplier sustainability. The EcoVadis methodology framework assesses the CSR performance of companies covering 150 purchasing categories, 110 countries and 21 CSR criteria including "Environment," "Labor Practices & Human Rights," "Fair Business Practices" and "Sustainable Procurement." Approximately 30,000 companies use this platform, including NEC customers who refer to EcoVadis ratings when selecting their suppliers.

NEC's performance was rated particularly high in the "Environment" category, based on criteria such as "Environmental Management," "Product Stewardship" and "Energy Consumption." NEC recognizes that being granted a Gold CSR rating by EcoVadis for the third consecutive time is the result of its ongoing efforts to ensure the sustainable development of society.

As a social value innovator, NEC improves its CSR activities by engaging with stakeholders. Going forward, NEC will continue its efforts to solve challenging social issues using state-of-the-art information and communication technologies (ICT) to enable the realization of the United Nations' "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs)(1).

(1) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
SDGs consist of 17 goals on issues such as poverty, hunger, energy, climate change and peace. Efforts to attain these goals started in 2015 after they were adopted by 193 member states at the United Nations Summit held in September that year
