Green Guidelines

In the provision of telecommunication services, NTT West owns numerous telecommunications facilities and buildings for housing these facilities.
Furthermore, we procure many materials from the outside to build our telecommunications facilities. It can be assumed that there is an environmental load due to the construction, possession, operation, and dismantling of buildings, as well as business activities including research and development.
Thus, NTT Group stipulated the 窶廨reen Guidelines窶 to reduce this environmental load.
In the Green Guidelines, 窶廨uidelines for Green Procurement 窶 regarding telecommunications facilities, 窶廨reen Design Guidelines for Buildings窶 regarding the planning, design, management and dismantling of buildings, "NTT Group Energy-saving Performance Guidelines" regarding the development and procurement of ICT devices used in the company such as routers and servers, and 窶廨reen R&D Guidelines窶 regarding research and development were established to promote the reduction of environmental load generated from the services that we provide.

What is Eco ICT Logo?

Eco ICT LogoThe Eco ICT Logo is a symbol mark that is designated by the ICT Ecology Guideline Council. Telecommunications services providers can display the "Eco ICT Logo" according to the result of appropriate self-assessment of their actions, such as those to reduce CO2 emission, as a means to disclose to the public that they are carrying out appropriate activities.
NTT is a participant in the efforts pertaining to the Eco ICT Logo.

Checklist for Self-assessment of Efforts

Environmental Audit

To ensure compliance with regulations related to the applicable environmental laws, we conducted environmental audits within each organization in the form of self-checks to promote business activities that are friendly to the global environment.
In the audit result for FY 2019, there were no cases that were subject to administrative disciplinary actions or penalty charges due to violation of environment-related laws.

Self-check
Each relevant section conducts an annual self-check on compliance with the environmental laws, progress of the implementation management programs, and the degree of establishment of environmental protection activities.

Environmental Education and Environmental Communication

The NTT West Group plans various types of internal seminars and training and provides proactive training sessions on the environment as listed below so individual employees can voluntarily become aware of environmental protection and implement efforts toward reducing their environmental load during daily business activities.

Environmental Protection Trainings
We conduct trainings yearly for every member working at the NTT West Group to cultivate their awareness toward the importance of environmental measures and environmental protection activities. In FY2019, we conducted web-based environmental protection trainings for about 46,792 staff.
Environmental Self-check Seminars
NTT West Group holds environmental self-check seminars for the personnel who are in charge of conducting self-checks at each section.
Being a part of the overall environmental education, the seminars are designed not only to enable participants to learn the skills for performing self-check, but also to familiarize them with the relevant environmental laws and related social trends as well as enhance their awareness toward activities for protecting the environment. In FY2019, 164 employees participated in the seminars.
Since FY2006, the seminars have been held in the form of distant training to help ease the burden on the environment.
eco Certification
We promote the acquisition of the eco certification to enhance the knowledge of each employee toward environmental issues. 46 staff obtained the certification in FY2019, bringing the cumulative total number of certified employees to 2,280.
Website for NTT Group Employees
By posting internal publicity documents related to environmental conservation as well as the efforts and best practices of each section, the site has helped to promote exchange of information between sections, enhance the efficiency of implementing environmental measures by each section, and heighten employees窶 awareness toward environmental conservation.
Relevant SDGs:
  • Responsible Consumption and Production
