Environmental Policy at the Fujitsu Group

Fujitsu Group Environmental Policy

The Fujitsu Group has established the Fujitsu Group Environmental Policy based on the principles and guidelines set forth in the FUJITSU Way.

Philosophy

The Fujitsu Group recognizes that global environmental protection is a vitally important business issue. By utilizing our technological expertise and creative talents in the ICT industry, we seek to contribute to the promotion of sustainable development. In addition, while observing all environmental regulations in our business operations, we are actively pursuing environmental protection activities on our own initiative. Through our individual and collective actions, we will continuously strive to safeguard a rich natural environment for future generations.

Principles

  • We help customers and society reduce the environmental impact of their business activities and improve environmental efficiency with advanced technologies, ICT products and solutions.
  • We proactively promote environmentally conscious business activities to help the environment and economy coexist harmoniously.
  • We strive to reduce the environmental impact of our ICT products and solutions throughout their entire lifecycle.
  • We are committed to conserving energy and natural resources, and practice the 3Rs approach (reduce, reuse and recycle) to create best-of-breed eco-friendly products and solutions.
  • We seek to reduce risks to human health and the environment from the use of chemical substances and waste.
  • We disclose environment-related information on our business activities, ICT products and solutions, and we utilize the resulting feedbacks to critique ourselves in order to further improve our environmental programs.
  • We encourage our employees to work on global environmental conservation such as tackling climate change and preservation of biodiversity through their business and civic activities to be role models in society.

Mid/Long-term Environmental Vision "FUJITSU Climate and Energy Vision"

The Fujitsu Group has established the "FUJITSU Climate and Energy Vision", a medium- to long-term environmental vision through 2050, with the goal of bringing the Fujitsu Group's CO2 emissions to zero, and achieving a decarbonized society, as well as contributing to the response to climate change, through technology supporting digital transformation.

Approval by Science Based Targets initiative

Science Based Targets

In August 2017, the reduction targets of greenhouse gas (hereafter, GHG) emissions from its business facilities and a part of value chain, set by Fujitsu Group, was approved by Science Based Targets Initiative as being at science based level. An initiative was established in 2015 jointly by a number of organizations, including the World Resources Institute and UN Global Compact. It encourages companies to set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions based on scientific evidence, in order to limit the global temperature increase to less than 2°C over pre-industrial revolution temperatures.

Targets

  • To reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 33% by 2030 and 80% by 2050, from a 2013 base-year.
  • To reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions 30% by 2030 from a 2013 base year. The scope 3 reductions cover "purchased goods and services" and "the use of sold products".

Joining of RE100 as Gold Member

RE100

In July 2018, Fujitsu joined RE100, which strives to significantly expand the adoption of renewable electricity on a global scale, as Japan's first Gold Member. RE100 is an international initiative led by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP and consists of companies committed to source 100 % of the electricity they use from renewable sources.
Fujitsu Group will consider the appropriate steps for each region and expand its procurement of electricity from renewable sources at locations in Japan and around the world, starting with datacenters outside of Japan. Fujitsu Group will concurrently continue its work on R&D and technology trials for energy management and storage, and contribute to the spread of renewable energy in society as whole.

Renewable Energy Electricity Usage Goals at Fujitsu Group Locations

Goal : 100% by 2050
Intermediate Goal :  40% by 2030

First ICT Services Company to Garner "Eco-First" Credentials
