Message from our CEO
CEO and President of NEC APAC

Our people across APAC have shown that sustainability begins from within: rethinking how we use resources, reducing e-waste, and mindfully creating opportunities to give back to society. These efforts inspire and remind us that the future we envision is not created by leadership alone, but by the collective efforts of everyone internally.
Let's drive forward with passion and purpose, and Create What's Ahead together.”

Beyond technology, our teams also embrace upcycling and conscious consumption, from reusing items to giving apparel a second life—proving that small, mindful actions can create lasting environmental value.

Resource Circulation
At NEC APAC, employees are encouraged to reduce waste and extend the life of everyday items.
