Group Environmental Report 2005

Environmental Action Plan
FDK Group revises its Environmental Action Plan once in three years. In ﬁscal 2004, the ﬁrst year of the Third Environmental ActionPlan (ﬁscal 2004 − 2006), FDK Group was successfully achieved a signiﬁcant result in energy saving, reduction of wastes and hazardous
chemical substances and promotion of green procurement. FDK Group will continuously dedicate to further improve the environment.
Achievements of the Third Environmental Action Plan (ﬁscal 2004 − 2006)
Items

Action Plan

Achievement in ﬁscal 2004

Reinforcement ofenvironmentalmanagement

To establish own frameworks of environmental management in all theGroup s aﬃliates and subsidiaries, which are based on the environmental management system (EMS), by the end of ﬁscal 2005
・ EMS to be introduced in the entire corporate structure of FDK inJapan including its head oﬃce and sales oﬃces.

After examining various types of EMS, EcoStage was chosen as the most appropriate
system for FDK s head oﬃce and sales oﬃces.

Promotion of EMS to suppliers
・To encourage suppliers in Japan with no EMS to introduce it.
・The scope of EMS include those certiﬁed by a third party certiﬁcation
organization such as ISO14001, EMAS, Eco-Action 21, Eco-Stage,
local environmental management system equivalent to them, FujitsuGroup Environmental Management System (FJEMS), FDK Group
Environmental Management System (equivalent to FJEMS), andother EMS systems unique to each supplier approved by FDK.

FDKEMS was oﬀered to the suppliers in
two stages of diﬃculties so that it can be
introduced to them easily and swiftly.
Explanation meetings and guidance wereoﬀered to suppliers. As a result, 22 suppliers introduced the system.

Provision of Super-Green Products by the end of ﬁscal 2006
・ Super Green Products are the advanced form of green products
incorporating such properties as energy saving, 3R (Reduce,Reuse and Recycle)-based design, and elimination of hazardous
chemical substances. They are forerunners having the world s
1st world s smallest nation s ﬁrst industry s ﬁrst nation s
smallest and industry s smallest characteristics, which areintended to be released by the end of ﬁscal 2006.

Investigations were done and prototypes
were manufactured for Super Green electronics materials and parts.

To eliminate use of hazardous substances designated by FujitsuGroup in manufacturing products by the end of ﬁscal 2005, except
for those designated by RoHS whose elimination target is the endof December 2004
・ Use of hazardous substances listed in 31 categories of FujitsuGroup s list will be totally eliminated by the end of ﬁscal 2005.
・ For products shipped to Europe and covered under the RoHS
Directive, use of mercury, hexavalent chromium compounds,
PBB and PBDE will be totally eliminated by the end of December
2004.

As for hazardous substances designated by FujitsuGroup, we are in the process of examining andswitching to alternative substances aiming at totalelimination of using them at the end of ﬁscal 2005.
Hazardous substances under the RoHS control
used for manufacturing new products were able to
be totally eliminated within the designated time
limit. However, there were some substances stillused in existing products as of the end of December 2004.
(See page 14 for further information.)

Energy consumption and emission of CO2 reduced at the end of ﬁscal
2006 by 15% of those in ﬁscal 2000・ The scope of these reductions includes FDK s plants and oﬃcesin Japan.

Energy consumption and CO2 emission weresuccessfully reduced by 61% on those in ﬁscal
2000.（53,998 t in ﬁscal 2000 -> 21,070 t in ﬁscal
2004） (See page 15 for further information.)Contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission
・Reduction of CO2 emission is promoted through improvement oflogistics, recycled use of products and packaging materials, anddevelopment and purchase of energy-saving products.

We are promoting the curtailment of fuels
through the improvement of loading eﬃciency
on a truck and revision of distribution routes.
Also the returnable trays (TP trays) are
encouraged for recycled use of packagingmaterials. (See page 16 for further information.)

Discharge of chemical substances under the Pollutant Release andTransfer Register (PRTR) reduced at the end of ﬁscal 2006 by 15% of
those discharged in ﬁscal 2001
・The scope of the reductions includes FDK plants and oﬃces in Japan.

The emission of chemical substances was able
to be curtailed by 68% of those emitted inﬁscal 2001. (5.5 t in ﬁscal 2001 -> 1.74 t in ﬁscal2004) (See page 17 for further information.)

Generation of wastes reduced at the end of ﬁscal 2006 by 3% of
those generated in ﬁscal 2003
・The scope of reductions includes FDK plants and oﬃces in Japan.
・Zero emission of wastes will be achieved by the end of ﬁscal 2004
ahead of the target shown in the Second Environmental Action
Plan by 1 year.

Generation of wastes was successfully
curtailed by 13% of that in ﬁscal 2003.
(2,081t in ﬁscal 2003 -> 1,816t in ﬁscal 2004)
As of the end of ﬁscal 2004, zero emission ofwastes was achieved at all the production sites
in Japan. (See page 18 for further information.)
