2. Results of activities in the first half of FY2021

Stage and scope of the corporate activity for consideration◼ The office has defined the stages and scope of corporate activities that should be considered for decarbonization andresource recycling
Stages of corporate activities related todecarbonization and resource recycling
We assume that four steps are necessary for companies toachieve decarbonization and resource recycling: 1) correctly
identify, 2) reduce emissions, 3) Capture, and 4) offset

1. Correctly
identify◼Identify emission
sources and amounts

SWG8 focused on1) correctly identify
and discussed

2. Reduce
emissions◼ Review of operations◼ Review of energy use and availability◼ Review of products and services

3. Capture◼ CO2 capture and reuse

4.Offset◼ Purchase of emission credits© NTT Communications Corporation All Rights Reserved.

Scope of corporate activities related todecarbonization and resource recycling

Use case scenario (fiction)◼ Prepared a scenario based on the theme and discussed use cases① Events at the General Meeting of Shareholders
At Company N's FY2021 shareholders' meeting, the investors commented on the company's ESG initiatives as follows⚫ 「 Does the company manage the decarbonization and resource recycling of the entire supply chain of its
suppliers? 」⚫ 「 Isn't that just a reworking of existing activities in the context of ESG? 」
Its investors voted against the main decision② Board of Directors Meeting after the General Meeting of Shareholders
At a meeting of the Board of Directors, President S requested each business manager to review ESG initiatives as soon
as possible. Specifically, it was requested that they clearly show the quantitative effects of ESG initiatives in eachbusiness③ Actions of the business manager
In response to the decision of the Board of Directors, Company N decided to make efforts to collect and disclose
information on decarbonization and resource recycling for the electric vehicles it plans to procure④ Points for consideration● What data items should be collected, in what format, from where, and how should they be disclosed ? (from Issue1,2)● What rules, quality, security, and disclosure controls are necessary for data sharing? (from Issue3)● What kind of data should be handled in a secure environment? (from Issue4)● How much does data sharing cost and who should pay for it? (from Issue5)© NTT Communications Corporation All Rights Reserved.

Summary of activities for Define rules and functional requirements◼ The following are the lessons learned from the activities of defining the rules and functional requirements required for
decarbonization and resource recycling, as well as future challenges

LessonLearned◼ Effectiveness of using use cases to consider requirements
Conducting discussions after setting use cases and roles effectively derived requirements.

◼ Collect specific requirements from the companies using the data
Data sharing on decarbonization and resource recycling requires the collection of specificrequirements (required data items, usage rules, etc.) from companies on the data use side
( vehicle manufacturers, battery manufacturers, etc.).

FutureChallenges◼ Further discussion of requirements for international interconnection ofnational data infrastructures
The requirements derived this time are similar to the IDS requirements, but the requirements
for international interconnection were derived independently in this activity; the requirements
need to be concrete together with DSA, IDSA, Gaia-X, Catena-X, SCSN, etc.
