NTT's approach to corporate citizenship

The NTT Group believes strongly in the concept of corporate citizenship, and is committed to working alongside members of the public for the betterment of society. To this end, all NTT Group company employees including temporary and contract employees, as well as partners and former NTT employees who endorse the NTT Group's CSR activities contribute to society as members of Team NTT. Since the creation of its Social Contribution Committee in 1992, the NTT Group has been actively promoting citizenship activities, and continues to work to fulfill NTT's responsibilities in this area by providing support to Team NTT members who undertake citizenship activities in various fields.

The NTT Group's support system for employee volunteer activities

We support volunteer activities in a number of ways, in the belief that they not only contribute to the betterment of society, but also broaden the viewpoints of our employees and nurture consideration for others through promoting interest and involvement in society.
Our policy for the support of volunteers contributing to the resolution of societal issues focuses on three basic steps: (1) cultivation of a volunteer mindset through holding introductory courses and providing information on volunteer activities; (2) provision of opportunities for volunteer work through posting information on openings for volunteers on NTT's intranet and providing hands-on experience programs such as sign language classes; and (3) support for volunteers by introducing volunteer leave and other support programs and creating a company environment that facilitates volunteer work.

1.Volunteer gift program		This program provides goods from the volunteer's company to facilities etc. where the volunteer has been active over a long period of time.
2. Matching gift program		Under this program, NTT Group companies support employees' fund-raising and charity activities by matching donations made by employees.

Team NTT citizenship activities

Each year, NTT Group companies conduct "Operation Clean Environment" litter cleanup events with local community residents throughout Japan. In fiscal 2007, 66,075 volunteers made up of NTT employees and their families participated in litter clearance activities to clean and protect local environments. Group companies also contributed to local communities through participating in local events, and opening their doors to tours for children and workplace experience programs.
