Practical steps
In Europe, FME makes substantial contributions through specific projects. Amongst the Green successes are collection and re-use
of packaging material and empty trays, using multi-use containers that make outer boxes and filling materials obsolete - and
new techniques for producing ultra-thin wafers without using chemicals.
These, plus the introduction of lead-free solder material and new solder processes, together with organised collection and
recycling of products, all help to reduce negative environmental impact.
One of FME's most successful green steps made, was the introduction of Green Electricity.
Initiatives like these are planned, controlled and assessed within Fujitsu's Global ISO14001 Environmental Management System, which gained certification for all European and worldwide facilities in May 2006.
Furthermore, FME is fully compliant with RoHS1 and WEEE2 programs.
Throughout the world, Fujitsu takes its Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) seriously. And in Europe, FME has taken on an active role in forging links with local communities in order that this CSR programme is implemented at a local level.
