The SoftBank Group has been involved in environmental management and ICT-aided global warming control projects to save planet Earth and pass it on to future generations.
The SoftBank Group believes the environmental conservation is a challenge faced with every employee and thus it is important for employees to learn about and take actions for environmental conservation. In the context, the SoftBank Group implements learning programs for employees and participates in Challenge 25 Campaign with a view to inspiring environmental conservation efforts not only at company level but also by individual employees.
In our role as a good corporate citizen, the SoftBank Group aims to contribute to solving global warming issues by providing services that have the lowest possible environmental burden. Our efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of our corporate activities include reducing greenhouse gas emissions from offices and facilities, establishing data centers with leading-edge green technologies, using renewable energy, and providing in-house educational programs about global warming prevention.
