Letter from CEO
Chieri Kimura

It is with great pleasure that I present the NTT DATA EMEAL Sustainability Report for Fiscal Year 2023 (1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024). In this report, we describe our social, environmental, and economic performance according to GRI standards and its alignment with the United Nations 2030 Agenda, to whose Global Compact we subscribe.

I would like to highlight that despite the complex panorama we have experienced, marked by socio-political conflicts, natural disasters, and the challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence to our working models, we have grown more than the previous year and we continue being an important source of qualified employment in most of the countries where we operate.

According to our corporate strategy, where talent lies at the centre of our decisions, we have increased our investment in training to over €35 million, €10 million more than the previous year.

The knowledge, combined with our professionals’ experience in new technologies, has led our clients to increase their trust in our organisation (8.7 out of 10) and to continue selecting us to support them in the transformations they are seeking to implement in their businesses.

Our
strategy

Planet

Leading by example to disruptively transform industries, driving the use and development of technology solutions that reduce the impact on the climate and improve the planet.

People

Shaping a better society by applying our digital capabilities to foster digital training and education to accelerate economic growth and create a more diverse and inclusive world.

Prosperity

Transform businesses to grow successfully with 100% sustainable services and solutions that involve our value chain, promoting the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence, security, data privacy and ethics in the management of information of all our stakeholders.

Environmental.

Environmental

We are committed to the responsible use of technology for a sustainable present and future, and we are adhered to the science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets of the SBT (Science Based Targets) initiative acquired by NTT DATA Group.
As a signatory to the United Nations Covenant on Climate Ambition agreement, we are working on sustainable IT solutions to reduce emissions and contribute to keeping global warming below 1.5%.

Descarbonization

During FY23, the increase in consulting activity and associated business travel led to an increase in emissions per employee. However, it has been possible to reach the established target of 0.80 tCO2 for FY23, thanks to the purchase of renewable energy with guarantee of origin, thus reducing scope 2 emissions, based on market.

NTT DATA EMEAL established FY22 as the base year, as the first post-pandemic calculation year with the return to normal business activity. During FY23, seeking alignment with NTT DATA Group, we changed the standard from ISO 14064 to GHG Protocol, also including new calculation emissions categories, such as indirect emissions from employee commuting, and indirect emissions associated with the life cycle of fuels and energy. The increase in these emissions has led to the recalculation of the FY22 base year, in order to be comparable over time.

Work-life balance, health and well-being

The consolidation of teleworking and schedule flexibility as the main organisational model has been the company's main lever for effectively reconciling family and personal life. This is therefore one of the great benefits of working at NTT DATA EMEAL and is evident in our constant dialogue with employees.

The recovery from the health crisis made it possible to open a new stage marked by teleworking and the reopening of offices, a new hybrid working model called “Be Flex” based on flexibility and adaptability to keep the well-being of the people who work at NTT DATA EMEAL at the heart of decision making.
