Recent advances in broadband services and ubiquitous access on a global scale are bringing
about major changes in our business environment, with exciting developments such as
the convergence of fixed with mobile networks, and of telecommunications with broadcast
media and content.
The NTT Group is addressing these changes and making steady progress towards fulfilling
the goals of its Medium-Term Management Strategy, building a rich communications environment
for individuals and communities. We are also seeking to resolve key issues faced
by a rapidly aging society with a shrinking population, such as the provision of nursing and
healthcare, disparities in employment supply and demand, crime and disaster prevention,
and energy and environmental conservation.
Another area in which we are making major efforts is enhancement of the safety and reliability
of our communications network as critical infrastructure from the perspective of business
continuity management, to ensure that it can continue to function as a vital lifeline in
the event of unexpected failures or disasters. As a corporate citizen, we are also committed
to working as one with local communities, and to continuing to contribute to society through
various community engagement activities.
To us, corporate social responsibility means making this kind of sustained commitment to
working for the betterment of society.
NTT Group companies have long been involved in various activities to fulfill their corporate
social responsibilities with respect to society, environment and economy in ways that make
use of their respective strengths. However, to enable the NTT Group as a whole to make an
even larger contribution to society, in June 2006 we established the NTT Group CSR Charter.
We will continue to work as one to enhance the corporate value of the NTT Group and
contribute to the creation of a safe, secure, and prosperous society through the group-wide
promotion of CSR activities.
We hope that this report will give you a good understanding of our citizenship endeavors.
