Eco ICT Logo
The Eco ICT logo is designated by the ICT Ecology Guideline Council. Telecommunications services providers can display the "Eco ICT Logo" as a medium for broad public disclosure depending on the result of appropriate self-assessment of their actions to reduce CO2 emissions, etc., and to indicate the status of such implemented actions.
NTT is a participant in the efforts pertaining to the Eco ICT logo.
