Structure for Promoting and
Managing Sustainability
Sustainability Promotion Structure
The NTT Communications Group established the Sustainability Management Committee as a deliberating body to examine measures to address apparent and potential ESG-related social issues and to promote and manage sustainability activities. Chaired by the executive vice president in charge of CSR, the committee consists of the heads of each organization (executive officers, etc.) and the presidents of each Group company. Under the committee, we have set up the Environmental Protection Subcommittee. The Sustainability Management Committee will also collaborate with other committees, including the Compliance Committee, Business Risk Management Committee, Human Rights Committee, and Security Committee. Matters reported to and discussed by the Sustainability Management Committee, including information related to social or environmental risk, are shared with the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors compiles this information and recommendations from the Board of Corporate Auditors and oversees the necessary governance to appropriately promote sustainability activities.
Under this structure and governance by the Board of Directors, the Sustainability Management Committee will continue to promote and manage initiatives based on the Sustainability Policy.

Promoting Management
To effectively engage in sustainability activities, we designate KPIs that serve as targets for the Priority Activities for each fiscal year. We verify, evaluate, and review the level of achievement regarding each KPI as a reference point when setting the indicators for the next fiscal year. The Sustainability Management Committee implements these processes, which include reviewing the KPIs for each fiscal year as well as reconsidering the Sustainability Policy and priority issues. The Sustainability Management Committee monitors the status of activities in the four Priority Areas of society, the environment, human resources, and governance and related risks and opportunities in a timely manner and in cooperation with each organization responsible for the main initiatives. We share the evaluation results for initiatives based on the KPIs, related risks and opportunities, the latest social trends, examples of model initiatives by other companies, and external evaluations and follow the PDCA cycle to pursue sustainability management and promote our initiatives for effectively realizing a sustainable future.
