4. Contributing to the Global Environment
with the Power of Technology- Realizing a Carbon-neutral, Recycling-oriented Society -
Contribute to mitigating climate change, promoting a circular economy and
the adoption of renewable energy by utilizing cutting-edge technologies to pass
on a sustainable global environment to the next generation.
Sustainable development goals
SDGs value creation
(1)Contribute to the mitigation of climate change through
technology and business
As countermeasures to mitigate climate change, we promote the use of renewable energy and energy conservation through ICT to reduce CO
Main businesses
- Switch electricity used in business activities, including by base stations, to electricity from virtually renewable energy*1
- Utilize AI, IoT and other technologies to improve power use efficiency (develop next-generation batteries, etc.)
- Utilize IoT to improve power use efficiency and promote environmental awareness
- Implement initiatives aimed at achieving carbon neutrality

*3
Considering ways to contribute to the expansion of new renewable energy sources, in addition to the use of conventional renewable energy sources.
(2)Promote a recycling-based society (circular economy)
Promote the controlled use of resources, in addition to recycling and reuse.
Main businesses
- Promote paperless operations through the spread and use of IoT
- Promote recycling (mobile phone recycling, etc.)
- Reduce water resource use and waste in business activities
- Implement initiatives to conserve biodiversity
