Promotion of DX to Connect Society with the Future

Our Approach

Our goal is to facilitate DX that will lead customers to create new businesses and bolster their competitiveness and to realize a Smart World through the utilization of ICT. By accumulating a broad array of data and reusing it to improve existing formats and develop and introduce new systems, technologies, and services, we will resolve a number of the issues facing society and create better ICT environments.
We will contribute to addressing social challenges by promoting DX in collaboration among Group companies and with our partners to address the issues faced by clients developing global business, various industries, and society as a whole. The NTT Communications Group will also provide solutions for promoting DX to connect society with the future, such as realizing a world in which every worker can choose an optimal workstyle and demonstrate their talents.

ICT Transformation

Our Approach

As the IoT society evolves, economic and social damage caused by emergency telecommunication breakdowns is becoming incalculably severe. As we are entrusted with managing networks and vital data associated with the globalization of many companies, we are absolutely required to fulfill our responsibility to maintain network connections at all times.
As a corporate group that provides global telecommunications services by utilizing the network technologies and maintenance systems that underpin advanced ICT societies, we focus on the Three Disaster Policy Fundamentals to put into place a communication environment that allows for the confident use of networks even in the event of a disaster or other emergencies. Through the consistent strengthening of ICT infrastructure equipment to prevent telecommunication breakdowns in the event of emergency, we will maintain the network as vital infrastructure, resolve customer security issues as a security advisor for the “new normal” era, and provide advanced services that integrate Group technologies such as local 5G and edge computing to realize flexible and optimal network environments for our customers.
As an ICT services provider, we are responsible for ensuring the confidentiality, secure retention, and management of information we receive from customers. We believe that fulfilling this responsibility is essential for realizing advanced, safe, secure, and sustainable living environments and economic and social activities.
Furthermore, we are working to provide advanced and robust information and cyber security. We have established a set of security regulations necessary for the NTT Communications Group as a whole to meet public expectations, and we apply them to the ongoing monitoring and operation of the ICT systems and networks entrusted to us by customers to ensure they are robust while enhancing their vulnerability response to unknown threats.

Promotion of Corporate Citizenship

Our Approach

Guided by our Social Action Principles, the NTT Communications Group promotes activities for realizing a prosperous society by designating six pillars of social contribution: Preservation of the Natural Environment, Social Welfare, Promotion of Education and Culture, Regional Development and Exchange, International Exchange, and Promotion of Sports. Companies are increasingly expected to play a role through their social contribution activities to support the development of diverse communities grouped by region, generation, and so forth. In addition to community development, we intend to actively participate as a corporate citizen by also developing community engagement activities with an understanding of the SDGs as well as ways to achieve their targets. These efforts will have a significant effect on expanding a sustainability mindset throughout the Group and encourage each company to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society as a member of the NTT Communications Group.
