Environmental protection activities/Environmental vision: THE GREEN VISION 2020

The NTT Group's new vision for the environment up to fiscal 2021

The NTT Group has endeavored to protect the environment through the three priority activities of mitigating global warming, reducing waste, and reducing paper consumption. In November 2010, we added the conservation of biodiversity to these priorities, and drew up THE GREEN VISION 2020 as a new vision to guide our efforts for the environment up to fiscal 2021. Going forward, all group members will work as one to achieve the goals of this new vision.

All employees of the NTT Group are working as one to contribute to the sustainable development of society through achieving the goals of our new vision for the environment.

THE GREEN VISION 2020

The NTT Group will continue to leverage ICT and the combined talents of its workforce to contribute to the sustainable development of society. We intend to focus our efforts for the environment up to 2020 particularly on the three themes of creating a low carbon society, implementing closed loop recycling, and conserving biodiversity, and will drive those efforts through the three approaches of "Green of ICT", "Green by ICT", and "Green with Team NTT".

Key environmental tasks have been identified with a specific action introduced for each of them

THE GREEN VISION 2020

The NTT Group's three themes for the environment

The three themes of our new vision for the environment specify the environmental issues on which we feel that we should put greatest priority, and set concrete targets. For example, where the theme of creating a low carbon society is concerned, we aim to reduce the CO2 emissions of domestic group companies and to reduce the CO2 emissions of society as a whole through the provision of ICT services. Similarly for the themes of implementing closed loop recycling and conserving biodiversity, we have set specific policies and quantitative targets, and aim to contribute to the sustainable development of society through achieving them.

Implementing three approaches

In THE GREEN VISION 2020, the NTT Group proposes the three approaches of "Green of ICT", "Green by ICT", and "Green with Team NTT". "Green of ICT" refers to efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of our own business activities. "Green by ICT" refers to our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions across society through providing ICT services. "Green with Team NTT" refers to efforts by group employees and their families to work with local communities to help protect the environment.
