NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation relocated its
head office to Bunkyo-ku (Iidabashi First Tower) in Tokyo 2010.
in October, deploying on that occasion EmpoweredOffice
(a revolutionary information and communication
technology-based Office Ionnovation solution heretofore
partially applied to the Shinagawa head office) to all floors.
To maximize energy saving, resource saving (paperless operations), and space
saving at the new head office location, the office environment was thoroughly
redesigned to incorporate various efficiency-promoting innovations. Furthermore,
great consideration was given to radical cost reform through work style innovations,
as well as the creation of systems for energy saving and improved business
continuity.
However, owing to the impact of the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake and
nuclear power plant accident, we believe that reforms from an even wider viewpoint
are needed with regard to energy demand and business continuity. To this end, the
Company, which had thus far been working on EmpoweredOffice (Office Ionnovation)
solutions and environment and energy-saving solutions as part of efforts to address
the issues of global warming and energy conservation, will be increasingly
contributing on energy demand (energy saving designs) through cloud service
operations.

fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Through such activities, we will further create
information provision and communication opportunities as we grow our capabilities as

Conversion of all head office floors to EmpoweredOffice
When power usage grows large and enters
the “Caution”zone, the displayed graphic
changes to a scene depicting a withered forest that looks desolate and barren.
The Company
’
s head office was relocated from Shinagawa to Iidabashi in October 2010. At that
time, the following measures were implemented as part of the conversion of all floors to the
EmpoweredOffice design.
•
Promotion of awareness toward paperless operations (working without the use of paper) through
the reduction of document storage in archives and cabinets
•
Reduction of number of multifunction printers and shredders
•
Promotion of teleconferencing through the installation of additional videoconferencing system
terminals
•
Reduction of time losses through the use of stand-up meetings
•
Reduction of power consumption of PC terminals through promotion of thin clients
•
Introduction of energy-saving air conditioning for switch rooms
A 22% reduction of future power consumption (second half of 2009/second half of 2010 comparison,
excluding air conditioning) was aimed for through the above measures.
Moreover, we installed digital signage on all floors, displaying power usage amounts in
real time to promote awareness of energy conservation among employees.
Collaboration work using non-printed electronic documents
Thorough company-wide transmission and notification through office signage
Management of quality at customer work sites done at in-house center
7. Regulatory Compliance Status, Internal Audits,
and Environmental Accounting
8
Regulatory Compliance Status
Regulatory compliance is of paramount importance for management, and thus we have been
promoting the development of an internal system for corporate ethics along with related
educational activities.
As part of these activities, on the occasion of the relocation of our head office in FY2010, we
conducted a thorough review of our energy usage in greater detail than ever before.
With respect to waste management, we carried out in a planned manner manifest
management, administrative reporting, and on-site checks of waste disposal companies,
among other things.
As a result of the above-mentioned and other activities, there were no incidents or accidents
of significant impact on the environment around our various facilities, nor violations of
environmental laws, nor cases of administrative guidance.
Internal Audits
In FY2010, we conducted internal audits of thirteen sites between July 21, 2010 and
February 4, 2011, with the following results. The results of these internal audits were
reported to the General Manager for Environmental Management, and improvements and
other modifications were made to our management systems as needed.

The figure reported in the periodic report specified under the Revised Energy Conservation Law based on actual results for FY2010 is listed. Moreover, the figure (in parentheses) that factors in power consumption for air conditioning following the head office’s relocation in October 2010 to reflect the switch from city gas to electricity is also provided for reference purposes.
*2: NEC Environmental Awareness Survey
In order to build a sustainable society that is in harmony with nature and raise the environmental awareness of each and every employee, the NEC Group has been conducting an environmental awareness survey of all employees once a year, and the FY2010 survey indicated that almost 100% of NEC Group employees belong to the high environmental awareness category (Eco Excellence).

Activities
We launched the in-house retail of bakery goods produced by Workshop Yamadori, a facility in
Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, that supports people with disabilities (twice a month starting in February
2011).
On the occasion of the relocation of our head office and the resulting centralization of previously
scattered offices, we donated excess disaster contingency stockpiles to the local Minato-ku
Shibaura-Konan Regional City Office. The donated emergency food supplies were displayed at
an exhibit of disaster relief goods held by the Minato-ku Shibaura-Konan Regional City Office on
Disaster Prevention Day, and residents who visited the exhibit had the opportunity to taste them.
Moreover, some of the donated items were sent to the city of Iwaki in Fukushima Prefecture,
which suffered greatly from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and thus were of actual use.
On the occasion of the relocation of the head office, we streamlined all our office floors and
donated the excess furniture, etc., to welfare facilities in Shinagawa Ward, where the old head
office was located.

*1 The scope was expanded from FY2009 to cover all offices and include the electricity consumption (air conditioning included) of sales offices and other workplaces for which data was not previously collected.
Following the relocation of the head office in October 2010, the energy source for air conditioning was changed from city gas to electricity. Therefore, electricity consumption in FY2010 marked a year-on-year increase, but as the city gas usage of the head office until then was calculated as included in the electricity consumption (air conditioning portion estimate), the total electricity usage amount declined.
*2 City gas consumption (values in parentheses) was calculated as part of electricity consumption (air conditioning portion estimate) and thus are reference values.
*3 The amount of generated industrial waste is on a decreasing trend along with the amount of on-site work execution amount.
*4 The amount of generated general waste increased slightly as the result of archive sorting work accompanying the relocation of the head office.
*5 The recycling rate in FY2009 rose above the usual level owing to a larger amount of debris during that year.
