NTT Communications Environmental Strategy Guidelines
In conjunction with Environmental Statement, we are establishing wide-ranging guidelines with regard to our environmental activities. By constantly adhering to these guidelines we will demonstrably fulfill our responsibilities in respect of diverse environmental issues.
Promoting Global Environmental Management
The NTT Communications Group has placed the utmost importance on advancing its environment strategy in unison with overseas bases. Accordingly, the Group has taken steps to put in place a global-scale environmental management platform since fiscal 2009.
In fiscal 2012, the Group appointed environmental management officers at each of its operating bases in a bid to further enhance and develop its global environmental management structure. From fiscal 2013, energies will be channeled toward convening a global environmental management meeting as a part of efforts to share those initiatives undertaken to reduce environmental load in each country throughout the Group as a whole. At the same time, the Group will pursue and promote a bottom-up approach with respect to environmental management activities.
