Fujitsu Components Group Environmental Report
FY2018The Fujitsu Components Group recognizes environmental management as one of the most important rolesand contributes to build a sustainable society and participate in the global environmental conservation bystriving to reduce harmful environmental impact generated by products or services offered throughout thebusiness activities.
1. Greeting
The Fujitsu Components Group has been conducting activities that reduce the environmental
impact since 1998. Theses activities are based on the Fujitsu Group companies’ principle “Weshall keep the best corporate activities while improving our coexistence with the environment” .
The Paris Agreement was adopted at the Conference of Parties (COP21) as a new internationalframework for greenhouse gas reduction in the post-2020 period, and it took effect in November
2016. It marks the beginning to move toward the creation of a carbon-free society. With global
momentum for the environment rising, the Fujitsu Components Group is also taking various
measures to play a role in environmental approaches.
Proactive development of Green Products is one of our major activities. It reduces ourenvironmental impact in design/manufacturing stages. This activity provides our customers withenvironmentally friendly products as well as savings in terms of energy and resources.
In the meantime, we have been also successfully developing Human Interface Technologies,
which connect people and things.
Fujitsu Components Group strives to realize the human and environmental friendly society
through our products.

 Development of Eco-friendly Products
We strive to develop and offer eco-friendly products which improve the environment and commercial aspects.
 Highlight of New Developments
Low power wide area network
modules (FWM7SLZ02)

Communication distance increases by 1.5 times compared with conventional products byadding a SAW filter, which suppresses radio interference from mobile devices andprevents deterioration of receiver sensitivities. It reduces gateways and repeaters by morethan 5% in entire system.

TopicsReduction of raw material usage by developing new flush surface touch panels
Conventional decorative touch panels needed decorative cover films on it.
On the new touch panels, however, the decorative pattern is directly printed
onto ITO film. It eliminated cover films and reduced resource usage.
Following technologies were required for development and mass production.
1. Direct printing technology on ITO film.
2. Technology to adhere the film flatly.
3. Establish new product line to achieve above technologies.
Elimination of cover films achieved total 7.31t of PET film saving in FY2017 inaddition to produce thinner touch panels with lighter input force.

 Global Warming Prevention Activities (Reduction of Energy Origin CO2, Improvement of Energy Efficiency)
A working group comprising the members of 4 Japanese sites has been formed in order to suppress CO2 emissions. Energy saving
type machines were installed in FY2017. Each site has continued steady energy-saving activities. As the result, CO2 emissions perproduction unit were reduced, although entire CO2 emissions were increased because of increase of production amount.

Waste generation (t) Industrial Waste Reduction Management
Every worker in the group recognizes the importance of the 3Rs (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle) and engages in waste
separation. We have been working on reduction of environmental loads by minimizing the waste and converting them into
the valuable resources.
However, the amount of waste increased

7. Activities to Prevent Environmental Pollution
 Status of Environmental Laws Compliance
We have complied with all environmental laws or regulations in FY2017.
Status of ground water contamination
Regarding the ground water contamination in which chlorinated organic solvent was found by an independent inspection
done by Takamisawa in 1998, we have continuously cleanup the area by pumping aeration treatment and vacuum suction
devices. We confirmed that there was no flow of contaminated water to the outside of facilities and no complaints fromneighborhood or the competent administrative in FY2017.

 Management of Chemical Substances Contained in Products
As to additional regulation set on 4 phthalic esters and expiration of exemptions of European RoHS directives, we are
studying the substitute materials and building screening analysis system by considering customer requests and validityof regulations.
The counter measures for those new regulations will be provided by December 2018 in line with Fujitsu Group policy.
Communication schema for SVHC candidate substances etc. in REACH restrictions has been shifted from AIS(*1) tochemSHERPA(*2).
 Green Procurement
All raw and auxiliary materials are procured in accordance with Green procurement agreement and Environmental common
procurement specification, certificates confirming non-use of restricted materials specified by Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu
Components group and chemSHERPA data. We also ask all supply partners to build an environmental management system aswell as prevention of global warming and biodiversity program to further reduction of the environmental impact throughout
supply chain.
Actions to conflict minerals

Fujitsu Group procurement policy(*3) applies for treatments of conflict materials. In order to supply reliable information to thecustomers, the usage of conflict minerals under DRC conflict materials(*4) in our products are investigated in line with OECD
Due Diligence Guidance and Conflict Materials Reporting Template (CMRT) developed by Responsible Minerals
Initiative)(RMI) .

*1 : AIS stands for Article Information Sheet, a standard format recommended by Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium(JAMP) todisclose/transmit information of chemical substances contained in a product.
*2: A scheme that facilitates sharing information on chemical substances in products conducted by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. (Abbreviation ofChemical information Sharing and Exchange under Reporting Partnership in supply chain）*3: Refer to : http://www.fujitsu.com/jp/about/procurement/material/policy/*4: 4 minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) mined in Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries.
