NTT DATA Business Solutions AG has published its first sustainability report, marking the beginning of regular annual reporting.
“I am proud of the release of our first sustainability report. This is an important step for NTT DATA Business Solutions to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability as a core element of our corporate strategy. For us For the company and for me as CEO, sustainability “Our behavioral orientation and transparent communication are fundamental prerequisites.

As an IT services provider, we provide our customers with innovative products and digital solutions to help them become more sustainable. Recognizing that we are still in the early stages of our journey, our first sustainability report clearly states our purpose to have a positive impact on our planet and society. “
One of the other important impact resources is the international NTT DATA NET-ZERO Vision 2040, which the company is working on as part of the NTT DATA Group. The agreement stipulates that net zero targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions will be achieved by 2035 – with an interim deadline of 2030 for the data center. By 2040, the entire value chain (scope 3) will be net zero. NTT DATA Business Solutions’ long-term sustainable development strategy is also significantly influenced by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations. Twelve of these are particularly closely linked to the company’s business activities and are directly considered in the report. The report is divided into three sections: environmental, social and governance, each providing company-specific data, measures and example projects.
Data center attracts attention
Based on data for the 2022/23 financial year (reporting period: April 1, 2022 arrive March 31, 2023), the report focuses on countries and business units that account for the majority of total revenue and have a significant impact on sustainability-related matters.This also includes locations in Germany, Denmarkthis USA, Polandand Malaysia. Jürgen Pürzer, Chief Financial Officer of NTT DATA Business Solutions, explains that the focus here is clearly on energy-saving operation and the use of self-generated solar energy. “In Germany, our data centers account for about 80% of electricity consumption. Their planning already included sustainability aspects as far back as 2011 and have been operating exclusively with green electricity since 2021.” On increase The use of renewable energy is accompanied by revisions to travel and travel policies to reduce emissions. “For us, ‘green IT’ means more than just ‘green energy’; we also promote prudent use of resources and actively support our customers’ green transformation by providing innovative software solutions.”
Achieve sustainable development with innovative IT solutions
SAP Platinum Partners are committed to a climate-neutral circular economy and develop IT solutions that help customers record and reduce emissions, optimize business processes and reduce costs. This involves first of all SAP sustainability solutions and the use of artificial intelligence, blockchain and the Internet of Things; in each case, aiming to promote new smart business models and more efficient use of business software. The company also promotes the use of software solutions to address social challenges; such as providing assistance to people at risk of suicide through an “artificial intelligence suicide hotline”, using drones to transport medical supplies in inaccessible areas, and promoting digital education. All of these examples and projects are detailed in the report, providing insight into the sustainability efforts of NTT DATA Business Solutions.
From the 2025/26 financial year, companies such as NTT DATA Business Solutions will be subject to sustainability reporting requirements. In order to gain a deeper understanding of customer needs and steadily expand its capabilities in this field, the company decided to publish an annual sustainability report before the above requirements take effect. With this decision, SAP Consulting intends to create transparency internally and externally so that any improvement potential can be identified and realized at the earliest possible stage. “Transforming into a sustainable business requires perseverance and long-term measures, not short-term achievements. Therefore, it is necessary for companies to remain self-critical and use sustainability reporting to constantly question their own direction and make adjustments if necessary,” Norbert Roth Comment.
