Summer 2011 Models of Fujitsu's FMV PC Series to Come Pre-Installed with Bookmarks to Prominent NPO/NGO Websites

Fujitsu Limited

Tokyo, May 13, 2011

Fujitsu today announced that the line of FMV Series PCs for the consumer market that it will release this summer will come pre-installed with bookmarks to the websites of prominent NPOs⁽¹⁾ and NGOs⁽²⁾.

Fujitsu normally charges to have bookmarks to website links pre-installed, but these bookmarks will be pre-installed at no charge as part of Fujitsu's CSR⁽³⁾ activities utilizing the company's products.

Service Features

Starting with the summer 2011 models of its FMV Series of PCs, which are designed for the consumer market, Fujitsu will include a special folder for "social contributions and donations" in the "favorites" bookmark section of each PC, in which the company will pre-install links to the websites of 11 NPOs and NGOs. These links will enable one-click access to the websites of each of these NPOs and NGOs.

Based on past experience, Fujitsu anticipates that these NPO and NGO websites will be accessed at a rate of 50,000 hits annually. Moreover, because these bookmark links will continue to be displayed unless a user deletes them, having them pre-installed will help to raise the profile and awareness of these NPOs and NGOs in Japan over the long-term.
