NTT MATERIALITY 2023

Materiality

Materiality is determined for the three themes for achieving the sustainable society that NTT is envisioning based on the GRI materiality standards and processes.

Materiality Selection Process

Material issues (materiality) are selected using the following steps based on the GRI materiality standards and processes.

  1. Identifying material issues

    Using evaluation organizations like third party institutions, ISO 26000 and GRI Standards, global trends, internal workshops, and materiality at other companies as a guide, we identify material issues through comprehensive review of new problems related to sustainability, in order to discuss and select important issues that the NTT Group should address on a global scale.

  2. Setting priorities

    NTT assesses the priorities to be addressed based on their impact on two aspects, "Growth as a company" and "Solving social issues." To achieve management that simultaneously helps resolve social issues and achieve business growth, NTT assesses priorities by incorporating the opinions of outside experts.

  3. Confirming validity & approval

    NTT also incorporates the opinions of third parties from a global perspective, which are then deliberated by the Sustainability Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

    These are reviewed regularly (once per year) and revised when necessary.
