(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
- More efficient use of electricity
- Transition to energy-efficient equipment
- Leveraging IoT for more efficient use of electricity in consideration of the environment
- Shifting electricity for cellular base stations to renewable energy*1
