The NTT Group has a framework to prevent risks and to minimize the impact of any risks that do emerge.
Functioning as they do in a rapidly changing business climate marked by increasingly fierce competition in the fields of information and communications, NTT Group companies face a wide variety of business risks.
We make efforts to anticipate and prevent potential risks at hand and minimize the impact should they emerge. As part of these efforts, we have prepared a standard manual for distribution to all Group companies to ensure a unified approach to risk management. Each Group company also prepares its own manual or other mechanisms tailored to its specific business activities and environment to manage and mitigate business risks.

Action plan to counter novel influenza
With the spread of H5N1 bird flu and occurrence of human infections in recent years, there is growing concern about the huge impact that a worldwide pandemic caused by a novel strain of influenza would have on human health and society as a whole. To address this risk, in April 2009 NTT drew up an NTT Group Novel Influenza Countermeasures Action Plan that it distributed to all Group companies. The plan details concrete countermeasures for each pandemic phase both to prevent infection and to help keep society functioning through ensuring the continuity of vital services and operations.
