Conference Supporters Message

The NTT DATA Group operates in over 70 countries and regions, with approximately 200,000 employees collaborating as a team. In 2025, we evolved our shared values, “Our Way,” and adopted the mission: “Accelerate client success and positively impact society through responsible innovation.” We also refreshed our “Values” by incorporating feedback from employees worldwide.
Our technological environment is changing significantly, including the expansion of data center operations and technological innovations, such as generative AI. In light of these changes, we revised our sustainability management materiality by gathering input from employees worldwide, unifying it under three pillars: “Planet Positive,” “Prosperity Positive,” and “People Positive.” Furthermore, starting in June 2025, David Costa, the Chief Sustainability Business Officer (CSBO) for overseas subsidiaries, was appointed as the overall sustainability leader to accelerate our projects.
In recent years, sustainability-related businesses have achieved remarkable growth and are becoming key growth drivers for our group. With overseas sales exceeding 60% of total sales, and over 75% of employees being foreign nationals, our business has evolved globally.
At this Sustainability Conference, diverse and advanced projects, such as co-creation examples addressing regional challenges in Japan, overseas projects reusing surplus heat from data centers and improving digital accessibility, and technologies enhancing the sustainability of cities themselves, can be applied to numerous social issues. I recognize that the sustainability business is expanding strongly throughout the entire group.
I sincerely appreciate all the group employees for their dedication and passion.
Together, we can have a greater impact on the world.

NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS adopted this new name last July. As we advance to a new stage as a company, our role in solving societal challenges has grown significantly. Under our corporate philosophy of “Creating communication that unlocks the potential of people and the world,” just as “hamachi becomes buri and hisha becomes ryuoh” in our TV commercial, we will collaborate with our business partners to tackle challenges from local communities to the global stage.

The Sustainability Conference is an excellent opportunity to share outstanding projects within the NTT Group on a global scale. It allows us to reconsider our role in the world and our responsibility to bridge the present with the future we should strive for. It’s a wonderful opportunity full of insights and inspiration.

Last year, NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS won the Grand Prize for “Morikachi” for the first time in eight years. This year, we have nominated 2 projects: a system that detects unreported road construction to help prevent gas pipe accidents efficiently, and an autonomous bus system designed to address route reductions caused by driver shortages.
Ensuring stable infrastructure and mobility is a major challenge for residents, regardless of whether they live in cities or rural areas. These projects aim to maintain regional sustainability by leveraging cutting-edge technology.

Let's advance digital transformation that surprises and inspires, and together create a sustainable and well-being future.

The NTT Group Sustainability Conference provides a valuable opportunity to gather diverse case studies from Japan and overseas, foster sustainability awareness, share best practices, and promote broader adoption. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all those involved for your considerable efforts toward the 13th Conference.

The MVP last year was awarded to the NTT EAST Group project “A circular society via fully-local energy.” This project leveraged local resources to enhance regional sustainability through local energy production and consumption. We are delighted that our efforts have been recognized.

The NTT EAST Group has submitted four entries this year. Each aligns with our purpose of “Co-create a Regional Recycling-Oriented Society” and contributes to environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Through this conference, we aim to deepen our insights. We also hope that all employees embrace sustainability as their responsibility, collaborate with colleagues and local communities, and take on challenges in realizing a sustainable, circular society.

This is the 13th year of this conference, and I believe it offers an opportunity for NTT Group employees worldwide to co-create a sustainable future through diverse projects that contribute to societal sustainability.

The pace of environmental change continues to accelerate. To keep evolving and growing alongside local communities and our customers in this era of profound transformation, NTT WEST pursues its corporate slogan, “Tomorrow—with you, with ICT,” and its purpose, “A future where all people are happy and prosperous.” We are tackling various challenges faced by regions to realize a sustainable society.

The four projects nominated by NTT WEST are: “Organic Resource Circulation in Food-Related Businesses,” “Realizing Remote Production through IOWN,” “Achieving Sustainable Tourism Destination Management Using Data,” and “Creating Social Value Centered on QUINTBRIDGE.” Each of these represents an ambitious challenge that contributes to societal sustainability.

The NTT Group will continue to work with local communities and customers to foster empathy and resonance. We will also challenge ourselves in creating new values to realize a sustainable society.
