Message from the President and Chief Executive Officer

Under the brand slogan "Changing worlds with you." we open up our technologies we have developed over the years to create new value through innovation together with our partners and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society. In view of the continuing uncertainty in the political and economic climate, we are sensitive to the changing needs of society and our customers, and are working to change and evolve in order to contribute to solving various social issues with a sense of mission and to be of service to society.

In 2021, the DOCOMO Group announced the "New DOCOMO Group Medium-Term Strategy," and together with our partners, we have launched a challenge to innovate and make significant changes in society through "structural reform of society and industry" and "creation of new lifestyles". Moreover, in order to promote business operations and sustainability initiatives in an integrated manner, and contribute to the creation of a sustainable society where no one is left behind, we have formulated the Sustainability Policy for 2022 and are promoting initiatives for the environment, society, human resources, and fairness. The key issues are: contribute to environmental responsibility; solve social issues by promoting research, development and innovation; engage with customers and communities; realize a safe, secure, and resilient society; develop and leverage diverse human resources, and improve employee job satisfaction; and promote respect for human rights and fair business practices. Though our business, we are committed to solving social issues and providing new value.

In order to contribute to various areas of society and industry, the DOCOMO Group will accelerate innovation by meeting diverse customer needs and utilizing regional individuality, while expanding the synergies of the integration of DOCOMO Communications and COMWARE as a group. We will also further enhance the sense of trust that the network, as social infrastructure for life, can be connected to anywhere, anytime, any day of the year.

In order to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in our operations by 2030, we are making steady progress in reducing power consumption and introducing renewable energy to our network. We are also expanding activities to include initiatives to create a circular society and to contribute to nature positive to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. Additionally, we will promote diverse working styles and human resource development initiatives to enhance the growth and job satisfaction of each and every employee.

DOCOMO will continue to take on the challenge of "Changing the world" by working together as a group and joining forces with customers, business partners, and all other stakeholders.
