NTT DATA Business Solutions

Corporate Sustainability

Harnessing innovation to create lasting environmental and social value – for clients, communities, and the planet.

Realizing a sustainable future

Sustainability is integral to our corporate strategy. As an IT company, we are mindful of both the potential of digital technologies to address sustainability challenges and our responsibility to manage their impacts. We therefore take a holistic approach to sustainability by and of IT, applying our digital expertise and innovation capabilities in a targeted way.

As one NTT DATA, we are guided by the Group’s mission to accelerate client success while positively contributing to society through responsible innovation. This ambition shapes how we embed sustainability across our organization and client solutions and is reflected in strong external recognition, including a top 1% ranking in the S&P Global Sustainability Rating 2024 and repeated inclusion in the CDP Climate Change A List.

Our sustainability reports

Transparency builds trust. The latest NTT DATA Business Solutions Sustainability Report provides a concise overview of our environmental, social, and governance performance across global operations.

Prepared in line with the German Sustainability Code and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the report outlines our progress on key sustainability priorities, including climate action, resource efficiency, diversity, and social responsibility. At the same time, it marks an important step in our structured transition toward the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

The report demonstrates our alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the NTT Group’s Net Zero ambition. Since 2023, selected environmental data and greenhouse gas emissions have been subject to limited assurance by LRQA, reinforcing the credibility of our disclosures.

Impact areas

Today’s actions shape tomorrow’s sustainable and innovative future.

Social engagement

#GirlsandBoysDay

We want to support the next generation in their future career choices by showing young people the great and diverse job opportunities within our industry. One example is our annual participation in Girls’ and Boys’ Day, where we offer interested pupils in school classes insights into technical professions. We deliberately focus on professions in which women tend to be underrepresented and familiarize their fellow male classmates with apprenticeships in business administration and office management. 

Decarbonization

Reducing emissions across our operations 

We are working to lower our greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain in line with the NTT DATA Net Zero Vision 2040. This includes increasing energy efficiency in our offices and data centers, sourcing electricity from renewable sources where possible, and taking a mindful approach to business travel by making the most of virtual collaboration options. Together, these measures support our long-term climate targets and contribute to a lower-carbon way of delivering digital solutions. 

Climate targets and progress

Sustainable and innovative economy

At NTT DATA, we see every day how innovations change the world for the better. Together with our employees and partners, we make a difference by driving sustainable research and customer projects with long-term impact on environment and society.
