Throughout June 2023, as part of our work towards inclusivity, we have been sharing a number of 'Inclusive Glossary' posts on our internal comms channel. This initiative is designed to help raise awareness and understanding of some of the terms and acronyms we may hear associated with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. This is in addition to a number of other activities throughout the month in relation to DEI and Inclusivity that showcase actions taken to raise awareness. #DEI #Pride2023
Today is World Environment Day 2023 and the focus this year is #beatplasticpollution. Every year around 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced and studies estimate that there is already 75 to 199 million tonnes of plastic in oceans across the globe. At Hitachi Rail, we are contributing to #beatplasticpollution across the globe. We're focussing on the environmental design of our products. For example, we've introduced the use of more sustainable construction materials for installing the Cross River Rail Projects ETCS rail signalling system in Brisbane, Australia. TufDuct is a material made from 100% post-consumer plastic waste and approximately 27m of TufDuct cable troughs were installed for the project. Any waste from the installation could be reused or fully recycled. Innovative sustainable mobility is at the heart of our business and we believe that we have an obligation to inspire and build a better and more sustainable future for cities and customers across the globe.
At Hitachi, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are the source of our innovation and growth. Hitachi has a place for everyone and we embrace diversity in all its forms. We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community not just during Pride Month, but every month, and promote an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, regardless of personal differences. Only through difference can we create better ideas and drive innovation which contributes to society 🌈🤍 Find out more about our diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives here: https://bit.ly/3Y9xJIr #PrideMonth #Pride #DEI #InclusionMatters
