Environmental Metrics and Targets

In November 2021, the NTT Group restructured its existing CSR Charter, which lays out the basic policy for CSR activities including environmental activities, and established the NTT Group Global Sustainability Charter. Based on this charter, the NTT Group will promote various initiatives to support our commitment towards a sustainable society. The IOWN concept will support these initiatives enabled by high ethical standards and cutting-edge technologies and innovation. The NTT Group will promote corporate and economic growth and, at the same time, will contribute to resolving social issues to realize a sustainable society.

Ensuring the coexistence of nature and humanity

The NTT Group is committed to achieving a new level of prosperity where humanity can coexist and preserve nature for generations to come.

To achieve this, we will set targets and implement activities based on the following three areas of focus:

Challenges

Moving toward a
