Hitachi Rail Transforms ESG Reporting with RitaONE

As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting became increasingly vital, Hitachi Rail encountered major obstacles: data fragmentation across sources, inconsistent information management, and rising administrative pressure from multiple frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ).

The dynamic regulatory landscape made it difficult to stay compliant, while the lack of standardized, automated validation exposed the company to the risk of inaccurate disclosures and potential reputational harm.

Hitachi Digital Services implemented RitaONE – a robust, subscription-based SaaS platform purpose-built for ESG data collection and intelligent reporting.

• The AI-powered platform uses microservice architecture, ensuring top-notch scalability and reliability. Its development utilized cloud-native components, automated pipelines, and strong data security practices.
• RitaONE’s intuitive interface allows seamless integration with the systems in which Hitachi Rail is already collecting some of the data required, such as their Health and Safety system, and their Energy Management System (EMS).
• The Agentic AI functionality simplifies data collection and validation, helping eliminate errors and reduce manual workload.
• The platform streamlines compliance management and continuously updates to align with evolving ESG regulations, providing customized KPI tracking and multi-framework reporting capabilities.

• Hitachi Rail now benefits from a unified and scalable SaaS ESG platform that streamlines reporting processes and improves data reliability.
• Enabled the organization to address compliance requirements across multiple international frameworks while reducing administrative overhead.
• Automated validation and real-time monitoring ensure accuracy, while flexible pricing and scalability make RitaONE accessible for organizations of any size and ESG maturity.
• Hitachi Rail gains deeper visibility into ESG performance across its operations and is well-positioned to adapt to future regulatory changes.
