"Factor X" is now becoming popular.

*2 European RoHS directive:
EU directive which is promulgated and enforced as from February 13, 2003. It is an abbreviation of "Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment". Member countries are required to prepare the laws and regulations for hazardous substances for electrical and electronic equipment and to minimize the danger to environment or health of human being. According to the directive, electrical and electronic equipment towards Europe cannot contain lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, cadmium, PBB and PBDE from July 1,2006.

*3 We reduce CO2 emissions to the result of fiscal 1990 by the end of fiscal 2010
Kyoto Protocol provides that the advanced countries should reduce global warming gas emission by 5.2% on average from result of fiscal 1990, and provides legally obligatory numerical target for each country (Japan: 6%).
Target period is 5 years, from 2008 to 2012. Fujitsu group set the target to reduce CO2 emission to result of fiscal 1990 by the end of fiscal 2010.

*4 We set the target to reduce CO2 emissions by 15% from the result of fiscal 2000 by the end of fiscal 2006:
Fujitsu group's CO2 emissions for fiscal 2000 are 1,462,000 tons. 15% of them are 219,300 tons. These are equivalent to approx. 90 times of Tokyo Dome.

*5 ISO14001:
The international standard concerning environmental management system which is established by International Organization for Standardization.
Certification according to this standard is given to organization which established the system which considers environment and reduce environmental burden continuously.

*6 Environmental management system based on main business
Each division sets target for each business from the viewpoint of environment, and implements continuous improvement in environmental management system. Followings are examples of targets in case of ISO14001 certification in headquarter in the end of last year.
