NTT Group, for the first time in Japan as a telecommunications carrier, disclosed all Scope 3 Categories
NTT Group started to calculate and disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all 15 Scope 3 categories, the first telecommunications carrier in Japan to do so.
In recent years, businesses are increasingly expected to disclose indirect GHG emissions generated over their whole value chain (Scope 3) in addition to emissions generated directly from fuel use etc. (Scope 1) and emissions generated indirectly in conjunction with electrical and other energy use etc. (Scope 2).
From our fiscal 2014 report, in addition to scope 1 and 2, the NTT Group started to calculate and disclose GHG emissions from all 15 Scope 3 categories. We based our calculations on the Ministry of the Environment's Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 2.1).
The NTT Group, through environmental impact assessment of ICT services, has accumulated essential data in scope 3 calculation, such as the environmental impact per communication line 1 contract.
Particularly for Categories 1, 2 and 11 for which emissions quantities are large, we have been promoting the introduction of energy-saving devices based on our Guidelines for Green Procurement, and pursuing initiatives aimed at encouraging the use of energy-saving devices by our customers.
The NTT Group continue the calculation and disclosure of the GHG emissions of the entire value chain including the scope 3, and contribute to reduce the environmental impact across society by utilization of ICT as well as to bring a change in various fields.

*1We have excluded Category 8 (upstream leased assets) from calculation because the fuel and electricity used by leased assets is included in Scope 1 and 2 calculations.
*2We have excluded Category 9 (downstream transportation and distribution) from calculation because these emissions are almost entirely from our own transportation and use in our own facilities (included in Scope 1 and 2) or from outsourced transportation (included in Category 4).
*3We have excluded Category 10 (processing of sold products) from calculation because our main businesses involve no processing of intermediate products.
