In fiscal 2006, the NTT Group established a CSR Committee charged with overseeing groupwide CSR activities, and brought the NTT Group Global Environmental Protection Promotion Committee, which drives group environmental protection activities, under the CSR Committee's jurisdiction.

The Global Environmental Protection Promotion Committee oversees the Greenhouse Gases Reduction Subcommittee and Waste Disposal and Recycling Subcommittee, directs groupwide projects implemented as occasion demands, formulates basic policies, manages targets and addresses any issues that emerge.

With the addition of the conservation of biodiversity as a basic policy to the NTT Group Global Environmental Charter, we established a new Biodiversity Working Group in fiscal 2011.
