Leveraging ICT for the Environment

DOCOMO set an environmental target for fiscal 2010 of making environmental contributions equivalent to 5.30 million tons-CO2 by providing ICT services. We worked to promote and popularize ICT services to meet the target and as a result we successfully helped reduce society's CO2 emissions by 8.221 million tons-CO2 in fiscal 2010, the final target year.

With protecting the environment a serious challenge facing all of society, more and more customers purchasing mobile phones have expressed the desire for more environmentally friendly phones. In response, DOCOMO worked to develop a battery charger with a solar panel and in February 2011 we launched the "FOMA eco Solar Panel 01" solar charger, which is capable highly efficient charging using sunlight.
The charger is able to fully recharge a mobile phone in approximately four to five hours in good weather conditions.notice1 It can be regularly used outdoors where there is no electricity or in emergency situations. Charging the auxiliary adaptor also allows electricity to be stored during the day and the phone to be charged at night.
Using this solar charger allows customers to help reduce CO2 emissions and easily participate in an environmental initiative. We hope to get as many customers as possible excited about this simple form of "eco" provided by DOCOMO and promote further initiatives that lead to major environmental progress.
