The recognition highlights Hitachi Rail’s commitment to sustainable operations, ethical governance and responsible supply chain management.
Hitachi Rail has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, placing the company among the top one per cent of businesses assessed globally over the past 12 months.
The award is the highest level of recognition presented by EcoVadis and acknowledges organisations demonstrating strong performance in environmental management, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
The achievement reflects the continued development of Hitachi Rail’s sustainability management system and its efforts to strengthen responsible business practices across its global operations.
The company said the recognition also highlights its commitment to greater transparency throughout its supply chain by working closely with suppliers and business partners to promote high sustainability standards.
Hitachi Rail continues to invest in digital rail technologies, low-carbon transport solutions and innovation that supports more sustainable mobility while helping cities and regions reduce emissions and improve connectivity.
Dr Maiya Shibasaki, Chief Sustainability Officer at Hitachi Rail, said: “Sustainability is not an ambition alongside business – it is increasingly integrated into how business creates value.”
She added: “Achieving EcoVadis Platinum reflects the progress we are making in embedding sustainability into the way we operate, make decisions, and manage risk.”
The company said the recognition reinforces its ambition to create long-term value through responsible operations while supporting the transition towards more environmentally sustainable transport systems.
