Green Procurement

In our procurement activity, we give priority to purchasing parts, materials, and products that are eco-friendly. We stipulate our basic requirements for green procurement in the Fujitsu Group Green Procurement Direction and promote green procurement activities together with our business partners.

Objectives of the Environmental Protection Program (Stage V)

The Fujitsu Group is engaged in the following two proactive eff orts as green procurement activities in the Environmental Protection Program (Stage V).

Improving Our Business Partners' Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

In the Environmental Protection Program (Stage V), we are aiming at increasing the level of our business partners' environmental management systems (EMS). Through our EMS Level-Up Briefing Sessions, we are asking our business partners to increase the level of their EMS by Third-Party Certification Acquisition and FJEMS Construction and similar activities. This aims at promoting environmental load reduction activities by our business partners.

Note that we held six such briefing sessions at the Fujitsu Kawasaki Plant in fiscal 2007, and that a total of 656 persons from 573 companies attended.

Construction of Business Partners' Chemical Substances Management System (CMS)

In the Environmental Protection Program (Stage V), we target the construction of chemical substances management systems (CMS(*1)) by our business partners. To achieve appropriate management of chemical substances throughout the whole supply chain, we request and support the construction of a chemical substances management system based on the Guideline for the Management of Chemical Substance in Products issued by JGPSSI(*2), and promote strengthened management of chemical substances with a strong emphasis on source management.

In fiscal 2007, in addition to promoting CMS construction for direct business partners (primary business partners), we are now, as a new eff ort, (a) requesting through our primary business partners that our secondary business partners also attend our briefing sessions, (b) providing both materials that summarize the management content required for source management as well as our original audit sheets, and (c) promoting activities for firmly establishing CMS directed at the root of the supply chain. In the future, we will continue to stress the importance of source management through briefing sessions and periodic audits, and aim at increasing the level of chemical substances management in the whole supply chain.
