NEC named to the “Morningstar Japan ex-REIT Gender Diversity Tilt Index” in the highest classification for the third consecutive year

NEC’s gender diversity efforts have been highly recognized, and for the third consecutive year, the company has been named to the “Morningstar Japan ex-REIT Gender Diversity Tilt Index” in the highest classification, the Gender Equality Score Group (Group 1).

The index is compiled by Morningstar, Inc., a leading independent investment research firm in the United States, utilizing evaluations from Equileap, a Netherlands-based data provider, to determine the companies included in the index. Equileap researches 6,000 companies around the world using a unique and comprehensive Gender Equality Scorecard™ with 19 criteria, including the gender balance of the workforce, senior management, and board of directors, as well as the pay gap, parental leave, and sexual harassment. NEC is included in all six of the Japanese equity indexes adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) (*), including this index since it was first established in 2023.

NEC became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact in 2005, which was founded on the basic principles of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and seeks to minimize the burdens that business activities may have on society. NEC aims to contribute to the creation of value for society through its business, and to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) launched by the United Nations. Over the course of NEC's Mid-term Management Plan 2025, in order to promote sustainable growth, the company endeavors to achieve continuous inclusion in ESG indexes by advancing initiatives for materiality, which are priority management themes from an ESG perspective. NEC’s latest ESG initiatives are reported in the NEC ESG Databook 2025.

NEC also aims to create the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential. Based on the NEC Way, a common set of values that form the basis for how the entire NEC Group conducts itself, NEC contributes to achieving the SDGs.
