Expert Committees Set Group Targets and Action Plans

DOCOMO has three Expert Committees dedicated to different areas, the Eco Network Equipment Expert Committee, Eco Customer Channel Expert Committee and Eco Management Expert Committee. Each Expert Committee identifies environmental issues and then sets and manages interim and annual targets and action plans. The targets identified by each Committee apply to the Group-wide goals and cross-organizational efforts to reduce global environmental impact.
