Operating in Harmony with Nature as the Starting Point for Fujitsu Environmental Management

The Fujitsu Group has pursued "operating in harmony with nature" since its founding in 1935. Environmental conservation is one of our highest priorities, and our environmental management is guided by Corporate Values enshrined in the Fujitsu Way, that "in all our actions, we protect the environment and contribute to society."

Growing Together with Society and Our Customers

The realization of a low-carbon society is one of the central challenges for humanity in the 21st century. To achieve this, it will be necessary for society as a whole to find more environmentally friendly ways to work and live. Multifaceted support from ICT is an increasingly important part of these efforts.

Given this background, we revised the Fujitsu Group Environmental Policy in April 2011. The Fujitsu Group Environmental Policy spells out our ideals and directions to promote environmental management that reflects the uniqueness of the Fujitsu Group enterprise. In the latest revision, we state that "We proactively promote environmentally conscious business activities to help the environment and economy coexist harmoniously." as one of those directions. While it goes without saying that we contribute to reductions in both our customers' and society's environmental burdens, this policy aims to grow our business to achieve sustainable growth and development for the Fujitsu Group along with our customers and society.

Based on Explicit Concepts and Vision

To instill all Group employees with the concept of "operating in harmony with nature," which is the starting point for environmental management, we stipulate our "Green Policy 21" environmental concept. Based on this concept, we implement continuing environmental activities in all our business areas.

Furthermore, Green Policy 2020 is our medium-term environmental vision, which indicates the directions and roles that the Fujitsu Group must play as targets for 2020. Green Policy 2020 stipulates three targets, benefi ting our customers and society, pursuing internal reforms, and conserving biodiversity, and sets up specifi c topics to work on in achieving these targets.

Reducing Environmental Burdens Based on Global Targets

Since December 2007, the Fujitsu Group has been promoting the Green Policy Innovation initiative to reduce our customers' environmental burden using green ICT to achieve the Green Policy 2020 vision's goals. Under the initiative, we provide customers with solutions and ICT infrastructure that leverage the accumulated technologies and expertise of the Fujitsu Group with the aim of lessening the environmental burden from companies and society in general.

In December 2009, we established the target of helping to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 15 million tons worldwide over the four years from FY 2009 through 2012, and have been promoting the provision of green ICT while working for cooperation with local regions throughout the world.

New Environmental Action Plan Strengthens Environmental Activities Globally

Then, in April 2010, we created the Fujitsu Group Environmental Protection Program (Stage VI) that covers FY 2010 through FY 2012 based on back projections from our Green Policy 2020 vision and recent global environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity conservation.

We will continue to reliably implement environmental action plans as a unifi ed group and work to realize a prosperous low-carbon society.

First Certification as an "Eco-First Company" in the IT Services Industry

In September 2010, the Fujitsu Group was certified as an Eco-First Company under the Ministry of the Environment's Eco-First Program. This was the first such certification in the IT services Industry.

The Eco-First Program encourages even further actions related to environmental protection by industry leading companies. Under this system, each corporation promises the Minister of the Environment that they will make efforts to protect the environment, for example, by measures to counter global warming or conserve biodiversity.

As a Global ICT Corporation, We Reduce the Environmental Burden of Our Corporate Activities and Those of Our Customers and Society

The realization of a low-carbon society is one of the central challenges for humanity in the 21st century, as reflected in the goal put forward during a recent G8 Summit to halve emissions of greenhouse gases worldwide by 2050. To achieve this, it will be necessary for society as a whole to find more environmentally friendly ways to work and live. Multifaceted support from ICT is an increasingly important part of these efforts.

As a global ICT corporation, the Fujitsu Group develops advanced environmental technologies, and makes products and services employing these technologies available throughout the world. Through the pursuit of this mission we not only lessen the environmental burden of our own business activities but also help to reduce the environmental burden of our customers and society.
