NEC takes pride in sponsoring a variety of sporting events and cultural programs that reach across borders to forge international friendships and promote mutual understanding throughout the world, including the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour

Through its business activities in the United States, NEC contributes to the local economic base, employs more than 4,000 people nationwide, promotes local procurement, and provides a wide range of leading-edge, cost-effective products to the U.S. marketplace.

Support of nonprofit organizations takes many forms including grants, sponsorship of community events, memberships, tuition reimbursement at colleges and universities for employees, employee volunteer efforts, and charitable proceeds of corporate promotional events.

A key component of NEC's corporate citizenship activities is the engagement of our employees in the communities in which we live and do business. Since 1999, NEC has conducted its worldwide volunteer program, "NEC Make a Difference Day." One of NEC's most valuable resources is its employees. Through 'NEC Make a Difference Day', the expertise, enthusiasm, and time of our employees around the world is mobilized to improve our communities. In the end, NEC, its employees, and its communities benefit.
