Making All Our Products Eco-Friendly
Promoting the environmental compatibility of our products is a top priority of the Fujitsu
Group. We have pioneered the use of materials that place less of a burden on the
environment, such as computer casings made from magnesium alloys or halogen-free
resins, lead-free solder and biodegradable resins. In cooperation with our suppliers, we are
also actively pursuing a “green procurement” system, which gives precedence to
environmentally friendly components and materials.
Enhancing IT-based Environmental Solution Offerings
We have been working to enhance our environmental solutions with the aim of harnessing
IT to help create a recycling society. We design environmentally compatible products and
provide system-engineering services that are responsive to the needs of our
environmentally conscious customers. In Iwaki City in Japan, for instance, we
collaborated with Nippon Kasei Chemical and Fujitsu Research Institute to set up a
business model for chemical waste recycling. Through such efforts, we are working to
safeguard the environment and contribute to the communities in which we do business.
Expansion of Overseas Reforestation Activities:
Establishing an Eco-Forest Park
Fujitsu has been involved in reforestation projects to help
revitalize the endangered tropical rain forests of Southeast
Asia since 1997. In January 2002 we established the
Fujitsu-Safoda Eco-Forest Park, a 70-hectare preserve in
the Kinarut region of Sabah. This project was
implemented with support from the Malaysian government,
the Japanese Consulate General in Kota Kinabalu, the
Japan International Cooperation Agency, and the Japan
International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center,
as well as monetary contributions from Fujitsu employees
and the personal involvement of employee volunteers, who
helped in the planting of 40,000 trees.
