Measures against Climate Change- Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emission
The key factors that contributed to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission by NTT West Group are electric power consumption, vehicle use and the use of gas and fuels, among which a large part comes from power consumption.
In FY 2018, power consumption has been reduced by approximately 17 million kWh compared to FY 2017.
Reduction of Environmental Load- Reduction of Paper Use
At NTT West Group, paper is used for telephone directories, invoices, office paper and telegraphs.
The total amount of paper used in FY 2018 was 12,000t, which included 9,600t for telephone directories, 1,000t for invoices, 1,200t for office paper and 200t for telegraphs.
We have been minimizing the use of paper by implementing thorough efforts such as holding paperless meetings and establishing a system for paper used within the company. At the same time, we are also getting cooperation from our customers to reduce paper use such as by imposing a charge on paper bills.

Wastes include those from dismantled telecommunications facilities, civil engineering projects, construction projects and office work.
The final waste disposal rate for FY 2018 was 0.63%*, and we achieved zero emissions for seven consecutive years since FY 2012.
