With the rapid spread of broadband
communications and other recent advances, communication networks
have emerged as an essential modern commodity, both in business
and for individuals. The blistering pace of progress in information
and communication technologies (ICT) is creating an increasingly
vital role for IT and networks in a wide array of activities, driving
the development of a more prosperous, comfortable, and satisfying
life for all.
Today's world is overwhelmed with a host of seemingly intractable
concerns. In Japan, an ICT-rich society confronts issues ranging
from online security to an aging demographic profile and low birth
rate. On a global scale, poverty, illness, and hunger require immediate
action in many countries.
The NTT Communications Group is committed to doing its part in relieving
these diverse social issues, drawing on its ICT resources to tackle
the daunting array of challenges facing its customers and society
at large. Our vision is to serve the business community and the
public as a global IP solutions company.
As a leading enterprise in the ICT arena, NTT Communications Corporation
is keenly aware of its responsibilities to the communities in which
it does business. Our duty is to deliver ICT services of uncompromising
quality, reliability, and consistency. In doing so, we create value
for our customers and society while playing a vital role in finding
solutions to the world's most pressing issues.
Inspired by this awareness, our company is constantly moving forward,
creating innovative business models and submitting bold proposals
to enrich modern lifestyles. We are determined to remain at the
cutting edge of this challenging field throughout the dynamic years
ahead.
NTT Communications is highly regarded for its longstanding policy
of disclosure regarding environmental issues. We have instituted
a Global Environment Charter that we follow diligently on a companywide
basis to achieve difficult objectives and report the details of
these efforts and their results in an annual Environmental Report.
Let us introduce another face of NTT Communications. The report
you are about to read is a far-reaching review of our activities
in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR), encompassing
not only our existing environmental report but also the social and
economic aspects of our operations. Through the publication of this
first CSR Report, NTT Communications aims to provide all of our
many stakeholders with a clear and comprehensive understanding of
the full range of our CSR activities.
I hope this report will serve to aid your understanding of the CSR
activities of the NTT Communications Group. We also welcome your
opinions and suggestions through surveys and questionnaires. |
