With the aim to efficiently and effectively promote environmental conservation efforts, NTT West Group introduced an environmental accounting system in FY 2000.

Environmental Conservation Costs

Investment for FY 2016 was 470 million yen due to an increase in the investment amount for an automatically-controlled air-conditioning system, which is part of the global environment conservation cost.
Although the cost for the disposal of PCBs as part of the pollution control cost was reduced, the expenses for FY 2016 were 6.99 billion yen due to an increase in the expenses for the dismantled telecommunications facilities as part of the resource recycling cost.
