6. A Business Perspective: The Journey Toward Sustainability

In pursuing his now-completed walk across the Antarctic landmass, Robert Swan has advocated for the preservation of Antarctica and promoted sustainability.

And computing chips that use light instead of electricity to process information? These innovations being developed within NTT Group are among many promising developments led by businesses around the world. The challenges are real and become more urgent each day. Even so, there are solid grounds for hope.
