Green Procurement Guidelines

[Green Procurement Guidelines]
NTT Communications first put in place its Green Purchasing Guidelines in 1999. These Guidelines were revised to conform to the NTT Group Energy Efficiency Guidelines Initiative in 2010. In addition to incorporating a Green of ICT approach into the Company's own ICT efforts to promote energy efficiency, the name of the Guidelines was amended to the Green Procurement Guidelines. NTT Communications has supplemented its supplier selection criteria with specific features that include its own environmental conservation initiatives as well as environmental conservation concerns in the procurement of products by applying these Guidelines.
The Company is working with suppliers to raise the quality of environmental conservation activities through green procurement initiatives. In this manner, NTT Communications is endeavoring to contribute further to society.
