Raising human rights awareness
The NTT Group respects human rights, and is committed throughout
its organization to resolving human rights issues and eliminating
discrimination as a critical element in building an open
and flourishing society.
To this end, we encourage employees to regard human rights
as a personal issue, and work to deepen their understanding
and awareness so as to perform their day-to-day business activities
in a way that respects human rights. We provide a broad
range of human rights education and training focused on such
issues as discrimination, people with disabilities, foreign residents
in Japan, the elderly, sexual harassment, and power harassment,
as well as trends in human rights in Japan and abroad.
Other activities to boost human rights awareness include soliciting
slogans and ideas for posters on rights awareness themes
from employees and their families, and compiling them into calendars
for office use.
Initiatives
CSR education for employees through in-house training and leaflets
"What is CSR?" is an easy-to-understand leaflet about CSR
for employees. As employee participation is essential for CSR,
this leaflet provides an opportunity for each of us to think
about how we can fulfill our CSR obligations through business,
environmental conservation, and social contribution activities.
In fiscal 2005, the leaflet was used in the CSR training program
for all 2,700 employees of NTT Corporation and also
handed out to some 20,000 employees of 16 NTT Group companies.
