NTT Communications is promoting a broad range of activities that help to prevent global warming, including energy saving of ICT equipment that accounts for 90% of the total CO2 emissions of our business activities, as well as equipment each employee uses every day both in the office and at home.

A stable power supply for communications equipment and air-conditioning systems for communications equipment rooms is essential to providing high quality communications services. At NTT Communications, we replaced our previous less-efficient power supply equipment to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, which is 2-5% more efficient. Regarding air-conditioning systems, we introduced MACSV, a system around 17% more efficient than the previous one. Additionally, we will undertake further efforts to scale down our energy-consumption profile through original measures to prevent global warming (see pages 18-19)--Recognized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government as an excellent example of efforts in this area--and, in turn, continuously restrict our CO2 emissions.

Following on from efforts carried out in the previous year, NTT Communications conducted a series of measures aimed at preventing global warming as part of wider national projects. Such measures included:

• -Office air-conditioning systems were set to 28C over the summer and employees were encouraged to compensate by dressing lightly ("Cool Biz"campaign).
• -We participated in the activities of "Team Minus 6%,"a national project in which participating companies pledge to reduce their greenhouse gas output by 6%.
• -We promoted the "2Up, 3 Down"rule: Employees were encouraged to walk up two flights of stairs and down three rather than take the elevator.
• -We reduced the number of operating elevators at set time periods throughout the day.

At NTT Communications Hibiya Building, the "Cool Biz"campaign promoted from July to September 2005 resulted in a 124t reduction in CO2 emissions. This is equivalent to the annual CO2 absorption level of approximately 8,850 cedar trees. Additionally, customers visiting NTT Communications premises were informed of our guidelines on lighter clothing by means of posters and brochures.

Furthermore, employees are actively encouraged to pursue measures at home to help stem global warming.

The core CPU in computers operates on a direct current (DC) power supply. In conventional systems, a complex method is commonly used: alternating current power (AC), which is provided by the power supplier, is converted by UPS to direct current power (DC), and reverted to AC before being sent to servers and routers. NTT Communications is working to promote a DC power supply system that causes less converting loss. In the course of this effort, we are proposing our housing service clients to adopt DC equipment as a way to reduce total costs resulting from less power consumption.
