NEC Netsesai Receives 'Special Theme Award (GX Recognition)' at METI's Partnership Building Awards

NEC Netsesai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President, CEO, and CENO: Michio Ohno) has received the 'Special Theme Award (GX Recognition)' under the 'Partnership Building Awards' at the symposium hosted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) on Friday, June 12, 2026.

Award Ceremony Scene

The 'Partnership Building Awards' recognize initiatives that contribute to the broader adoption of METI's 'Partnership Building Declaration' (note) and foster a collaborative environment across entire supply chains. The 'Special Theme Award (GX Recognition)' is specifically granted to companies implementing advanced and highly effective activities that support decarbonization across the entire supply chain.

Given the significant proportion of CO₂ emissions (Scope3) within its supply chain, our company has positioned decarbonization through collaboration with partners as a key strategic priority, actively enhancing sustainability across the entire supply chain. This award reflects high recognition of these efforts.

Key Initiatives Recognized

〇 Top-Down Leadership and Commitment

Establishment and communication of top-level commitments toward achieving sustainability

〇 Partner-Centric Support

Support for CO₂ emission calculations through workshops, individual consultation sessions, and provision of a simplified CO₂ calculation tool; distribution of Q&A materials, explanatory documents, and videos that minimize technical jargon; and sharing success stories from partners of similar scale

〇 Integration with Partner Evaluation Systems

Incorporation of sustainability metrics into partner evaluation frameworks and operation of recognition programs

These initiatives have helped partners develop a concrete understanding that 'we can also take action' regarding CO₂ emission visibility, created an accessible environment for participation, and contributed to raising the overall level of decarbonization across the supply chain.

Moving forward, our company will continue its own decarbonization efforts while promoting sustainable procurement activities across the entire supply chain, striving to realize an inclusive and sustainable society created through communication.
