Environmental Management

In order to minimize the environmental impact of NTT Group business operations, we monitor and analyze the types and amounts of resources and energy consumed by various processes and resulting environmental impacts.

At the NTT Group, we regularly quantify the environmental impacts of our various business activities, and are striving to reduce them by establishing concrete numerical targets for mitigating global warming, reducing waste, and reducing the consumption of paper resources based on the NTT Group Principal Activity Plan Targets.

Of the 4.02 million tons of CO₂ emissions generated by the NTT Group in fiscal 2009, 3.95 million tons (approximately 98%) were derived from business operation-related electricity consumption.

Of the 828,000 tons of waste generated, 794,000 tons (approximately 96%) were recycled, and the remainder was incinerated, resulting in a reduction of 13,000 tons to leave 20,000 tons of final disposal waste.

Each year, the NTT Group issues 105.51 million telephone directories throughout Japan, which translates into 60,000 tons of paper, equivalent to approximately 0.2% of the total amount of paper used in Japan. Of those 60,000 tons, 17,000 tons are from virgin pulp.
