Fujitsu Green IT to Help Customers Reduce Environmental Burden
	- Green Policy Innovation project targets 7-million-ton CO2 reduction -
	Fujitsu Limited
 Tokyo, December 10, 2007
          Further strengthening its initiatives to promote Green IT(1), Fujitsu Limited today announced a new Green Policy Innovation project which aims to achieve a cumulative reduction of more than 7 million tons(2) of CO2 from fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2010.
						Fujitsu will concentrate its know-how and technological resources in two areas: reducing the environmental burden of IT infrastructure, and reducing customers' environmental burden through new IT applications. Going forward, the Company will successively introduce new products and services that will support these initiatives and enable customers to lessen their environmental burden, ultimately helping to curb global warming.
						Environmental issues—and particularly the problem of global warming—are a growing concern for global society. In the IT field, the proportion of electric power consumed by IT continues to grow due to the widespread use of IT equipment and the increased demand for data centers. As a result, the development of energy-saving infrastructure has become an urgent priority. There are also high expectations that new applications of IT can help reduce society's overall environmental burden, and consequently interest in "green IT" is expected to intensify.
						Since its establishment, Fujitsu has regarded environmental protection as one of its most important priorities, and the Company has continuously engaged in environmental activities. Today, discharging its responsibility to society as an IT enterprise, Fujitsu is building on its past achievements to initiate the Green Policy Innovation project as a bold measure to assist its customers in reducing their environmental burden.
						The project will reduce the environmental burden of IT infrastructure through, for example, energy-saving, compact IT equipment, energy-efficient operation enabled by virtualization technology, and entire data centers that utilize such technology. In addition, the project will reduce customers' environmental burden through the introduction of new IT applications, including outsourcing and consulting services.
						From fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2010, the project aims to achieve a cumulative reduction of more than 7 million tons of CO2 .
						A new service for the design and deployment of energy-efficient data centers, called "Green Infrastructure Solution," is being introduced in conjunction with the announcement of this project.
						A succession of products and services will be introduced in the future through the Green Policy Innovation project, with the objective of fulfilling the Company's commitment to lowering the environmental burden of Fujitsu clients and society as a whole.
