The Fujitsu Group Environmental Vision
“ Fujitsu Climate and Energy Vision ”

The Fujitsu Group has reassessed its social role in light of the escalating global commitment to achieving carbon neutrality. The Group has elected to fast-track its previous commitment to achieve “zero CO₂ emissions within the Group by FY2050”, instead bringing forward its Vision by 20 years to FY2030. The Group has set the additional target of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (*1) throughout the value chain by 2040.

• *1
  Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90% in the target year in comparison to the base year, and re-absorbing remaining emissions (of 10% or less) from the atmosphere through direct air capture (DAC) technologies or by planting trees.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report “Global Warming of 1.5°C“ articulated the need to limit warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. With social roles expanding and additional demands placed on companies to tackle climate change, in October 2021 the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) (*2) launched the world’s first Net-Zero Standard for companies to set net-zero strategies.
In order to resolve issues related to climate change, the Fujitsu Group decided to revise the Group’s previous commitment to "zero CO₂ emissions by 2050", pursuing instead a more ambitious strategy than simply net-zero. This requires the Group to look beyond social trends and become the very embodiment of a leading SX company, one that drives the achievement of carbon neutrality.
The new vision comprises three pillars, namely, Value chain: Achieve net-zero emissions, Mitigation: Contribute to a carbon-neutral society, and Adaptation: Contribute to climate change adaptation measures. The Fujitsu Group will be quick to leverage advanced DX technologies to tackle its own net-zero strategies, and will make the resulting expertise available as Fujitsu Group solutions for customers and society. In so doing, the Group aims to leverage its own business activities to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Mitigation: Contribute to a Carbon-Neutral Society

Adaptation: Contribute to Climate Change Adaptation Measures

Three pillars of the Fujitsu Climate and Energy Vision

Achieving Net-zero Emissions in the Fujitsu Group Value Chain

In August 2017, the Fujitsu Group’s 2 °C-aligned greenhouse gas emission reduction target earned its SBTi certification. In April 2021, the Group obtained certification for its 1.5 °C ambition level (*3) which increased the target from 33% reduction in emissions to 71.4% throughout its business sites by FY2030, against a baseline of FY2013.
To accelerate the move toward carbon neutrality, the Group set a new target to achieve net-zero emissions from the Group’s business activities by FY2030, and from the entire value chain by FY2040, thus earning Net-Zero Target certification from SBTi in June 2023.

Roadmap to Net-Zero

Contributing to a Carbon-neutral Society

The Fujitsu Group contributes to the decarbonization of society by creating ecosystems with customers in a variety of industries and business types. The key to mitigating climate change is to use AI and other advanced digital technologies to optimize energy efficiency. By building such technologies into a framework that transcends business, industry, and regional boundaries, the Group will achieve optimal utilization of energy throughout all systems in society.
