NSD considers the reuse of used PCs and other information and communications equipment within the company as a matter of priority, and if reuse proves difficult, we pass the equipment on appropriately to contractors. In this way, we have maintained a reuse/recycling rate of 100%. From the viewpoint of information security, data stored in the equipment is completely deleted either by physical destruction or by using data erasure software to ensure thorough prevention of leakage of personal and confidential information.

In its advancement of digitalization of work processes, NSD is promoting the digitization of internal documents, such as approval and application forms, thereby eliminating the need for paper-based circulation and storage as much as possible.In addition, as part of our ISO14001 initiatives, we focused on the use of paper resources and set a long-term environmental target of reducing the number of sheets of printing paper used by 45% by FY2030 compared with FY2020. Through monthly monitoring and reduction activities, we have made progress toward achieving this target.
