Promotion of Environmental
Measures on Products

In ﬁscal 2004, FDKEMS was introduced to 22 companies including distributors that were newly included in the scope of promoting EMS. In the future, we will promote establishment of environmental management system to more than 10 suppliers anddistributors a year.
As for hazardous chemical substances, we will strengthen ourcontrol over the chemical substances controlled by the RoHS
Directive. Purchasing of products free of hazardous chemicalsubstances will be promoted as explained in the Approach for
the Elimination of Poisonous Substances, in the latter section.
(See page 14 for further information.)

Promotion ofGreen Procurement

The scope of companies to extend support of establishing EMS has
been expanded in order to raise the awareness of distributors
toward the environment, as they are in the position to give proposals to manufacturers. By doing so, FDK Group intends to further
raise the quality of green procurement.
In extending the support, the types and levels of requirement forenvironmental management system are revised from 4 stages to 5stages. For suppliers which have a diﬃculty in obtaining environmental management system certiﬁed by a third party certiﬁcation
organization, our own environmental management system (FDKEMS)
was proposed at the explanation meetings. The FDKEMS is in lieuof Fujitsu Group Environmental Management System (FJEMS)
that we requested our suppliers to introduce up to ﬁscal 2003. The
FDK s environmental management system incorporates basic requirements of ISO14001. The suppliers which introduced FDKEMS areof course required to upgrade the system to an EMS certiﬁed by athird party certiﬁcation organization.
