The Fujitsu Group Environmental Protection Program (Stage V)
Formulating the Stage V Environmental Protection Program
The Fujitsu Group establishes mid-range (three-year) environmental action plans to provide concrete objectives for implementing our environmental policy. Our newest plan, the Stage V Fujitsu Group Environmental Protection Program, starts in fiscal 2007.
This program is based on two fundamental approaches. The first is to seek an awareness of issues above and beyond those arising from the results of the previous program (Stage IV, which ran from fiscal 2004 to 2006). The second is to ask what direction environmental management in the Fujitsu Group should take based on careful observation of global and societal conditions and changes in the business environment in which we operate.
These approaches have been incorporated in two basic policies and five priority areas of the Stage V program. In this new program, we are asking each and every employee in the Fujitsu Group to participate in environmental activities related to their daily work and to strive to help the Group achieve the objectives of the program.
Basic Policies
We carry out environmental activities based on the Fujitsu Group Environmental Protection Program. Over the years, these activities have resulted in the strengthening of environmental activities at business sites and the development of environmental activities in all business units in the Group.
In creating the Stage V program, we recognized (1) the importance of having all employees grapple with environmental activities in their daily work and (2) the necessity of expanding the scope of our environmental activities throughout our entire supply chain from the standpoints of fulfilling our social responsibilities to our diverse stakeholders and fully complying with global environmental regulations. With this awareness, we established the following two basic policies.
- Develop environmental activities in which all employees can play an active role in their daily work.
- Expand the scope of environmental activities to encompass the entire supply chain.
Five Priority Areas
In addition, taking into consideration the impact of future societal trends on our business, and building on the progress achieved in the Stage IV program, we have defined five priority areas of focus going forward:
- Improving the environmental value of products and services
- Global warming countermeasures
- Reinforcing governance
- Reinforcing risk management
- Environmental contributions to society
The Stage IV Fujitsu Group Environmental Protection Program sets the concrete objectives in these five priority areas that we will strive to achieve in the three years from fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2009.
| Five Priority Areas | Stage V Targets |

| Improving the Environmental Value of Products and Services | Increase the number of Super Green Products Targeting the Green Products being newly developed in all business units, by the end of fiscal 2009 we aim to increase to over 20% the proportion of products that are Super Green Products with top-class environmental characteristics. |
