At the NTT Group, we regularly quantify the environmental impacts of our various business activities, and are striving to reduce them by establishing concrete numerical targets for preventing global warming, reducing waste, and reducing the consumption of paper resources based on the NTT Group Principal Activity Plan Targets.
Of the 3.6 million tons of CO2 emissions generated by the NTT Group in fiscal 2008, 3.53 million tons (approximately 98%) was derived from business operation-related electricity consumption.
Of the 782,000 tons of waste generated, 735,000 tons (approximately 94%) was recycled, and the remainder was incinerated, resulting in a reduction of 16,000 tons to leave 31,000 tons of final disposal waste.
Each year, the NTT Group issues approximately 112.97 million telephone directories throughout Japan, which translates into 65,000 tons of paper, equivalent to approximately 0.2% of the total amount of paper used in Japan. Of those 65,000 tons, 21,000 tons are from virgin pulp.
