Overview of the NTT Group's Environmental Impacts

Quantitatively tracking the environmental impacts of business activities at regular intervals
NTT Group business activities resulted in 3.776 million tons of CO2 emissions, and 32,000 tons of final disposal waste in fiscal 2007

The NTT Group quantitatively tracks the environmental impacts of its various business activities at regular intervals, and is striving to reduce its impact on the environment by establishing concrete numerical targets for preventing global warming, and reducing waste and consumption of paper based on the NTT Group Principal Activity Plan Targets.
Of the 3.776 million tons of CO2 emissions generated by the NTT Group in fiscal 2007, 3.7 million tons (approximately 98%) was derived from business operation-related electricity consumption. Of the 679,000 tons of waste generated, 635,000 tons (approximately 94%) was recycled, and the remainder was incinerated, resulting in a reduction of 11,000 tons to leave 32,000 tons of final disposal waste.
Each year, the NTT Group issues approximately 119.51 million telephone directories throughout Japan, which translates into 73,000 tons of paper, or approximately 0.2% of the total amount of paper used in Japan. Of those 73,000 tons, 23,000 tons are from virgin pulp.
