Environmental Activities

Protecting the environment is an important activity of the entire NTT Group

As our business involves the construction and maintenance of submarine cables, we have made it our basic policy to protect the ocean environment in ways that prevent ocean pollution, that preserve the ocean environment, and that ensure appropriate measures for the disposal of waste materials. As we are now performing various on-shore operations, the philosophy has been expanded to include the conservation of resources and energy and the promotion of a more natural envitoment..

In 2001, we obtained certification for ISO14001, and we are conducting our activities based on our Environment Policy with consideration given to preserving the earth's environment in an active way. We are keenly aware of the impact to the environment as a result of our business activities.

Regarding the ISO14001Certification. (ISO for Environment)

Under the basic philosophy set under the "Earth Environment Charter for the NTT Group," we obtained ISO14001 Certification on July 25, 2001, This was awarded as a result of us reducing the impact of submarine cable construction work to the environment, and for the preservation of the Earth's environment. Since then we have renewed our Certification twice, once in 2004 and again on July 1, 2007.
