Establishment of NTT Group Global Sustainability Charter
- Towards a Sustainable Society -
Tokyo, Japan - November 10, 2021 - NTT Corporation (NTT) officially announced the restructuring of its existing CSR Charter and has 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.
1. Background
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.
2. Vision of a sustainable society
To help realize this harmonious society, the NTT Group has developed our Sustainability Charter based on the concept of moving towards "Self as We." In other words, moving from standalone individuals or isolated groups and towards 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.
