1. Greeting
The Fujitsu Components Group has been conducting environment load reducing activities
stand by the principle that keep the best corporate activities while improving our coexistencewith the environment since 1998 with Fujitsu Group companies.
As an environmental trend, the Paris Agreement was adopted at the Conference of Parties(COP21) as a new international framework for greenhouse gas reduction in the post-2020
period, and it took effect in November 2016. Global momentum for the environment is rising.
Under the circumstances, Fujitsu Components Group is also taking various measures to play arole in environmental approaches.
Proactive development of Green Products is one of the major activities. It reduces our own
environmental load in design/manufacturing stages. In parallel, this activity leads toenvironment consciousness of customers’ products. It is not only reduction of environmentalload from design/manufacturing stages but also helps implementation of eco-friendly
products at our customers.
In the meantime, we have been positively developing Human Interface Technologies, whichconnects people and things.
Fujitsu Components Group strive for the realization of the human and environmental friendly
society through our products.

Reduction of waste glass by adoption of large glass for touch panel production

Using a large mother glass is effective to reduce waste glass as it gives us more choices of cut size to minimize the waste. However,there need some breakthroughs because of difference of linear coefficient between glasses and films. We organized new working groups
to find the solutions for those difficulties.
1. Construction of a production line and establishment of production method which minimize the warpage of a large glass anddistortion on films.
2. Establishment of precise film pasting and printing method for the glass.
3. Production of new jigs for large glass and its implementation.
After solving above issues, the large glasses have been introduced in line since second half of FY2014 and total 150t of glass waste havebeen saved over the past 3 years.

 Status of Environmental Laws Compliance
We have complied with all environmental laws or regulations in FY2016.
Status of ground water contamination
As to the contamination of ground water in which chlorinated organic solvent having been found in Takamisawa in1998, we
have been continuously performing cleanup by pumping aeration treatment and vacuum suction devices. We confirmedthat there was no out flow of contaminated water to outside of facilities and no complaints from neighborhood or thecompetent administrative in FY2016.

8. Chemical Substances Contained in Products
 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 by considering customer requests and validity of regulations.
The counter measures for those new regulations will be provided by March 2018 in line with Fujitsu Group policy.
Communication schema for SVHC candidate substances etc. in REACH restrictions was shifted from AIS(*1) to chemSHERPA(*2).

 Green Procurement
All raw and auxiliary materials are procured in line with Green procurement agreement and Environmental common
procurement specification , confirmed with certificates of non-use of restricted materials specified by Fujitsu Limited andFujitsu Components group and AIS data.
We also ask all supply partners to build an environmental management system as well as prevention of global warming andbiodiversity 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-free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI).

*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/global/about/procurement/policy/*4: 4 minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) mined in Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries.
