Editorial notes
The NTT Group published its first Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
report in fiscal 2005 to foster a broad understanding of the ongoing social,
environmental, and economic activities of the NTT Group as a whole.
In fiscal 2006, we established the NTT Group CSR Charter to serve as the
basic principles for our CSR activities. This report is therefore issued for
the purpose of disclosing information regarding ideas and activities based
on the NTT Group CSR Charter, and promoting CSR activities by communicating
with our stakeholders. We would much appreciate receiving your
feedback on this report, and we invite you to use the inserted questionnaire,
e-mail, or our online surveys. Your views will help us continue to improve
the CSR activities and reporting of the NTT Group.
This report is published in printed booklet and website versions. As part of our efforts to reduce paper consumption, we reduced the number of pages in the printed booklet to present a comprehensive but concise overview of the NTT Group's CSR activities. The website version carries full reports and provides more detailed information on many of these activities.
To improve our CSR activities and future publications, we would greatly appreciate your thoughts and comments. Please take time to fill out the questionnaire. (To the questionnaire)

Applying accessibility and universal design principles to our website's design
We have made every effort to apply accessibility and universal design principles to the design of the NTT Group CSR Report 2006 website to ensure that it is easy for all people, including senior citizens and people with disabilities, to view and navigate.
Easy adjustment of text size
We have provided a set of buttons in the top right-hand corner for enlarging or reducing text size (excluding certain pages). The "Larger" and "Smaller" buttons each provide a choice of three sizes. Using these buttons in combination with Web browser controls for text size provides an even wider range of size. For example, pressing the Larger button after setting browser text size to the "Largest" setting will further enlarge text size.
- This function works only when JavaScript is enabled. Note that the buttons will not be displayed if JavaScript is disabled.
Support for voice browsers
For users of voice browsers, we have equipped this report with skip links to specific locations within each page and other voice browser navigation mechanisms for informing the user of current location, remaining amount of text and so forth.
Care in use of color
We have followed universal design principles to ensure that graphs, diagrams and other elements are as easy as possible for all people to view and understand.
