Reducing Product Environmental Load by Using the Environmental Efficiency Factor
In fiscal 2007, the Fujitsu Group introduced the eco-efficiency factor(*1), which evaluates both increases in product value and reductions in its environmental burden at the same time. The factor is calculated for newly-developed Green Products in comparison with FY 2005 products.
On average, the factor was 2.9 for the Fujitsu Group as a whole for products developed in fiscal 2008, considerably exceeding that fiscal year’s target of 1.75. Fujitsu will continue to work for improvements in environmental performance to maintain our eco-efficiency factor at a high level in future product development.
(*1)Eco-efficiency factor
A method for comparing old and new products that quantitatively grasps improvements in both product environmental burden and
value (functionality and performance). This is an environmental index that promotes the creation of products that can provide
even higher values at even lower environmental burden.
