Realizing a Recycling Society
Through IT
In recent years, increasing attention has been focused on
harnessing IT to help achieve a recycling society and tackle
environmental problems. In fiscal 2000, we adopted the slogan
“Focused on the Green” and introduced our “Green Life 21” concept
for Fujitsu’s environmental activities into the 21st century. With
these two keynotes, we adopted our third environmental action plan.
Here are some of the main activities we undertook in the
environmental field during the fiscal year.
Environmental Solutions for Local Governments
In April 2000, as an addition to our existing “@EcoVision”
service offerings, we introduced “Local Government
Environmental Solutions,” new services that provide IT
support for environmental administration by local
governments in Japan. The new services offer comprehensive
support for local governments with advanced environmental
programs, including environmental know-how incorporating
Fujitsu’s own experience, advanced Internet-focused
information and communications technologies, and our
abundant experience in building information systems for
local governments. In August 1999, Fujitsu was the first
Japanese IT vendor to announce a series of environmental
*We continued to receive third-party certification of our environmental accounting in
FY2000. Moreover, during the year, we implemented a system for collecting and
aggregating environmental data from our operations in over 120 countries worldwide. As a
result, we are now able to aggregate cost-effectiveness data on a monthly basis, rather
than the previous semi-annual basis.
International Mathematical Olympiad
Fujitsu supports the activities of the Mathematical
Olympiad Foundation to help identify and foster talented
young individuals who have the potential to apply their
mathematical skills creatively toward the future
advancement of society. The Mathematical Olympiad
Foundation’s activities include selecting candidates to
represent Japan at the International Mathematical Olympiad
(IMO), and since 1991 it has been organizing the
preliminary tournament in Japan, the Japan Math Olympics.
Over 1,200 junior and senior high school students
participated in the eleventh annual tournament in 2001, and
six were ultimately selected to participate in the
International Mathematical Olympiad.
The IMO is an international competition aimed at
discovering mathematically gifted young people from
throughout the world and giving them a chance to develop
their talents. It is also intended to promote fellowship
Fujitsu’s social contributions encompass a wide variety of areas,
including international exchange, academic research and education,
culture, the arts and social welfare. Below are some examples of our
activities in these areas during fiscal 2000.
