NTT DATA: Leading the Way in Environmental Excellence
In a world where environmental sustainability is a pressing concern, NTT DATA stands out as a beacon of hope and innovation. The company's unwavering commitment to tackling climate change and water security has earned it a prestigious place on the CDP's Climate Change and Water Security 'A List'.
But here's where it gets controversial... NTT DATA's achievement is not just about being on a list; it's about the company's holistic approach to environmental leadership. And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about setting targets, but about implementing meaningful initiatives that make a real difference.
[TOKYO - 2025/12/15] - NTT DATA, a global powerhouse in AI, digital business, and technology services, has once again proven its mettle. For the fourth year running, it has been recognized as a CDP Climate Change 'A List' company, and for the first time, it has achieved the same distinction for Water Security. This recognition is a testament to NTT DATA's transparency and exceptional performance in environmental initiatives.
CDP, an international NGO, conducts surveys on corporate environmental practices at the request of institutional investors focused on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments. Companies are graded on a scale from A to D, evaluating their disclosure practices, awareness of environmental risks, and management strategies. CDP's assessments are highly influential, guiding investment and procurement decisions towards a sustainable future.
In the 2025 CDP disclosure cycle, over 22,100 companies worldwide were assessed. NTT DATA stood out, achieving the coveted 'A' rating. This rating is a result of the company's adherence to key CDP criteria, including comprehensive and transparent environmental information disclosure, oversight at the board level, ambitious target setting, and initiatives that span the entire supply chain.
NTT DATA's approach to water-related initiatives is particularly noteworthy. The company has incorporated 'efficient water management in data centers' into its environmental policy. This involves conducting water stress assessments, analyzing water-related risks across all data centers, and setting targets for improving WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) to ensure efficient water management. As a result of these proactive measures, NTT DATA has been selected for the CDP Water Security 'A List' for the first time.
So, what sets NTT DATA apart? It's their holistic approach to environmental leadership. They don't just talk the talk; they walk the walk, implementing initiatives that make a real difference. And that's what sustainability is all about - taking action, not just making promises.
