NTT Group CSR Conference

Every year since Fiscal 2014, an NTT Group CSR Conference has been held to share excellent CSR measures throughout the Group. The seventh such conference was held in February 2020. Approximately 260 employees participated, comprising CSR and environmental staff from each group company, and employees interested in CSR, resulting in a successful event.

Vice President Shimada Greeted Everyone Saying, "Let's Become a Group That Leads the Way, Starting with What We Can Do About Social Issues"

The conference began with Akira Shimada, Senior Executive Vice President and Representative Member of the Board, giving opening remarks, in which he reflected on how NTT Group initially became conscious of CSR and, after explaining that the group's vision and mission were defined in the previous year, he rallied employees, saying, "However, we must evolve further."

Touching on the 17 goals of the SDGs, he closed the address saying, "To date we have been considering solutions based on the skills and technology we have, but now we have to break away from this and become a bold group that thinks about what we can do to solve social issues, and if such a solution does not yet exist, we must create it."
