The businesses of NTT West Group have imposed a significant load on the environment due to the sizable business scale that extends across western Japan.
For example, to enable voice calls between our customers, networks such as telephones as well as switching equipment and communication cables installed throughout western Japan are required, and business activities related to these, including logistics, works, operation, servicing and provision of products, impose a heavy load on the environment.
As illustrated in the diagram below, NTT West Group grasps and reviews the material flow and Scope 3 of greenhouse gas emission (emissions generated from the customers and supply chain as a result of NTT West Group's businesses, excluding emission directly by NTT West Group) quantitatively and periodically to help reduce long-term environmental loads.
