Fujitsu Demonstrates Commitment to Sustainability with Pledge to Operate FJcloud with 100% Renewable Energy in Japan by FY2022

Fujitsu Limited

Tokyo, Japan, February 15, 2021

As part of its efforts to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, Fujitsu Limited pledges that renewable energy will cover all the power needed to operate its Fujitsu Hybrid IT Service FJcloud ⁽¹⁾ provided from its data centers in Japan by fiscal 2022, delivering a more sustainable model for the operation of the cloud services.

In recent years, international initiatives including the SBTi ⁽²⁾ and RE 100 ⁽³⁾ have been actively promoting the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) and the use of renewable energy sources, with a view to achieving the ambitious global targets set out in the Paris Agreement and the United Nations SDGs. The acceleration of such activities, including measures to mitigate climate change, has been accompanied by heightened expectations toward corporate sustainability initiatives and an increasing demand for accountability and transparency in related disclosures.

In July 2018, the Fujitsu Group joined RE100 as Japan's first gold member, and as part of its global Renewable Energy Procurement Principles, has set a target of 100% renewable energy use for the group’s activities by 2050. In the group’s data centers, Fujitsu is promoting measures aimed at creating a sustainable society, such as continuously improving power usage effectiveness (PUE, ⁴) by controlling air conditioning equipment using outside-air cooling and AI to optimize cooling efficiency for achieving greater energy efficiency.

In addition to these measures, the Fujitsu Group will accelerate its initiatives for the use of renewable energy and contribute to mitigate the impacts of climate change and for the decarbonization of the Fujitsu Group, its customers, and other stakeholders throughout society defined in the Fujitsu Group’s medium-and long-term environmental vision. To demonstrate its commitment to the pledge, Fujitsu will ensure that by fiscal 2022 all the power required for its FJcloud operations at its data centers in Japan will be provided by renewable energy.
