NTT's Vision of a Sustainable Society

For a sustainable society, we need to consider current and future issues that will challenge us. These challenges include global and local social problems, environmental obligations, future epidemics and natural disasters, equitable economic prosperity, human rights issues, and technology's power for good or harm. People can interpret an event or reality very differently depending on their perspective. The constant and increasing flow of information in today's world, combined with many diverse values and beliefs, can result in multiple points of view based on the same facts. Because of this, many ideas, perceptions, and values that seem contradictory exist simultaneously. However, to create a more harmonious society, these ideas need to coexist in a paraconsistent manner. In other words, accepting that contradictory views can be true and are accommodated in a nondiscriminatory way.

This approach will lead to a clearer recognition and a greater understanding of potentially conflicting ideas and values. Only in this way can we together take the right actions to help create a better society with more acceptance, prosperity and a long-term sustainable future for all. To help realize this harmonious society, the NTT Group has developed our Sustainability Charter based on the concept of moving towards the "Self as We." In other words, moving from standalone individuals or isolated groups and towards more diverse cultures and communities that are highly connected. This approach is based on enabling our connection to all things, including other people, goods, nature, and technology. We will maximize society's wellbeing and achieve a more sustainable future when we create these positive connections. By connecting through a common thread of shared ethics and values, we create a better world to achieve equitable economic prosperity for all cultures in communities, nations, and society. In addition, since nature is an altruistic and giving entity that we are part of, we believe it is necessary to reduce our burden on nature to remain in a harmonious society.
