Fujitsu considers protection of the environment to be an important business issue. Utilizing our technological
and creative capabilities as an IT leader, we strive to contribute to sustainable economic development.
Noteworthy initiatives and accomplishments in fiscal 2003 included the following.
Environmental Involvement
VPS
ETERNUS Storage System
Paper LCD
ETERNUS Storage System
Employing our innovative VPS/Eco Design computer-aided design tool in
the development of our new ETERNUS storage system model, we were able
to significantly reduce the number of parts, including a 50% reduction in the
number of screws needed. This enabled us to greatly reduce the time
required for disassembly, use less metal, and improve ease of recycling.
Moreover, because it is easier to assemble, less energy is used in the
manufacturing process, thereby contributing to overall resource
conservation.
Top Ranking on Sustainability Index for Five Years Running
In recognition of our many initiatives promoting environmental protection, for the fifth year in
a row Fujitsu has received a top ranking in the environment dimension of the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index, which tracks 2,500 companies in 34 countries.
＊Launched in 1999 and updated annually, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes track the financial performance of the
leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide.
Inclusion in the FTSE4Good Global Index
Fujitsu has also been included in the “FTSE4Good Global Index” of the FTSE indices
compiled by FTSE International Ltd. of the UK. In addition to environmental efforts, we were
also recognized for our corporate responsibility in the economic and social spheres.
Full Implementation of “Green Products” Policy
As of the end of fiscal 2003, we were able to achieve our aggressive objective of applying stringent “green products”
standards to all newly developed products. These standards ensure environmental soundness throughout the entire
product lifecycle.

Among the Largest Recipients of Company-Wide ISO 14001 Certification
In March 2004 we became one of the largest companies in Japan to receive ISO 14001 certification covering all our
domestic operations. We are now in the process of creating a unified environmental management system that will
encompass the entire group.
First Paper LCD for Contactless Smartcards (Fujitsu Frontech)
This superthin display panel incorporates a cholesteric liquid crystal capable of continuous
display without an electric source. We were able to achieve semipermanent memory
color display with low electric power consumption of 6μＷ or less (excluding the drive
circuits). In addition, the display’s accelerated write speed makes it suitable for use in
contactless smartcards for mass transit and other applications.
