Close Up. Fighting global warming

Q
What steps is the NTT Group taking to fight global warming?
A
We strive to reduce CO2 emissions from the following two perspectives:

The NTT Group strives to mitigate global warming both by reducing CO2 emissions generated by its business operations and by providing products and services that help reduce the CO2 emissions of society as a whole. Where business activities are concerned, the Group is implementing data center energy conservation strategies, promoting energy conservation in its offices and logistical operations, and promoting renewable energy use.

At the NTT Group, we consider preventing global warming to be the most significant environmental challenge facing the world today, and are addressing this issue in a variety of ways based on the two strategies of reducing CO2 emissions generated by our business operations, and providing services that help to reduce the CO2 emissions of society as a whole.

As one such activity, we launched our Green NTT initiative in May 2008 to promote the use of solar and other renewable energy sources in our operations. Under this initiative we aim to reduce Group CO2 emissions generated by energy consumption through equipping the communications facilities, data centers, and office buildings of NTT laboratories and Group companies with a total of 5 MW of solar energy capacity by fiscal 2013.

In connection with this plan, we have established NTT-Green LLP as a limited liability partnership dedicated to promoting the adoption of solar power systems in Group companies. We also plan to use our operational experience to promote the adoption of renewable energy technologies outside the Group.
