Organization for Implementation

The NTT Group regards the promotion of sustainability as an important management issue, and items of particular importance, such as creating environmental targets for the entire Group, are decided based on discussions held with directors. Under the governance structure overseen by the Directors, we have established a Sustainability Committee (chaired by the President and Chief Executive Officer) directly reporting to the Board. This committee is responsible for managing the policy direction and progress of sustainability initiatives across the entire Group. Policies related to sustainability (the Charter and creating and abolishing accompanying policies, particularly deciding critical indicators) will be decided by the Board of Directors via the Sustainability Committee. In addition, the Sustainability Committee includes the Corporate Ethics Committee, Human Rights Committee, and Green Innovation Committee to handle the individual topics relevant to each sub-committee. Furthermore, Group Sustainability Committee meetings (with senior executive vice presidents and others from major Group companies) are held to share common challenges and successful examples from each Group company, as well as to monitor progress on sustainability implementation with respect to PDCA cycles and further promoting a sense of unity throughout the Group.

Sustainability Committee

From fiscal 2024 to the first half of fiscal 2025, we held one Sustainability Committee meeting and one Group Sustainability Committee meeting. We reviewed some of our indicators aimed at increasing the effectiveness of activities conducted under our Sustainability Charter and discussed the situation surrounding sustainability both in Japan and overseas in recent years. In addition, the status of sustainability initiatives is reported to the Board of Directors.
