5. The 6th Stage Group Environmental Protection Program (FY2013 to FY2015)
This Environmental Protection Program states the action plan to be implemented by our group Environmental Policy and important
control items. It is the medium term action plan to be achieved by FY2015.

Development and provision of eco-friendly products

Each product family to develop at least one new eco-friendly product by FY2015.
I.
Product has leading energy-efficiency. (1)II. Product’s resource efficiency is increased by 10% or more compared to FY2011. (2)Cooperation with society

We promote resource provision through collection of used stamps, eco-cap recovery etc. for the activities addressing resolution ofsocial and environmental issues such as biodiversity conservatory.

Activities as a good corporate citizen

We continuously enhance social contribution activities that corporate members can take back to their communities.

Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission

We will reduce total emission amount of energy origin CO2 by 30% compared to FY2000 (22,777t-CO2) by FY2015.

Improvement of energy efficiency

We will improve specific energy consumption in a facility by an average of 1% per year. (3)Promotion of reduction of CO2 emission by partner companies

We will promote reduction of CO2 emission by all our partner companies.

Waste emission limits

We will generate less waste that will not exceed an average of FY2007 to FY2011 totals (839t) by FY2015.
Notes: (1) Leading products (world-first, industry-first, world-best, industry-best) in and other products which meet the criteria that requires to rank in the top 25% in the market in energy
efficiency.
(2) Improvement of product’s resources (smaller, lighter, thinner, reducing number of parts) or resource circulation (reducing waste amount, recycle).
(3) specific energy consumption means energy consumption amount per unit such as per sales amount, per production quantity, etc.

Management of restricted chemical substances in products
RoHS directives and REACH regulations have increased the range of applicable scopes and restricted materials and further tightened
the management of those regulations. The FUJITSU COMPONENTS Group has adapted AIS(1) data to control the chemical substancesin products and adheres to those regulations in Japan and other countries.
Note:(1) AIS: Article Information Sheet, a standard format recommended by JAMP (Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium to disclose/transmit information of chemical substances
contained.

 Green procurement
Our procurement has been performed with partners who accept the FUJITSU COMPONENTS Green Procurement Agreement in which
we ask them to further improve the material control governance. That is not limited to and includes the “prevention ofcontaminated supply with restricted materials”, “investigation and report of chemical substances” and also states the means to
reduce the extra load at our partners.
We strive to perform the environmental protection activities throughout the supply chain by building the environmental
management system, enhancing various activities for global warming prevention.

 Conflict minerals

To address the trade of conflict minerals (tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten) which are extracted in conflict zones and perpetuate thefighting there, we have been reviewing our management policy to clarify the usage of these materials. We are also asking our
suppliers to investigate the usage of those materials in their supply chains.

 Global warming prevention activities
FUJITSU COMPONENTS group has continuously been engaged in energy- saving activities at each site to prevent global warming andreduce costs. Once an activity has been assessed, it is shared among group factories. LED lighting is commonly introduced. Excessenergy consumption by air compressors and air conditioners has been minimized by using heat insulators on heat generatingmachines and exhaust air ducts. Heat exchangers have been introduced to re-use the heat that is generated by the machines towarm the water. We are trying to find and implement these new types of approaches.

 Water reduction activities
The tab water used in the plating /cleaning process and the ground water used in cooling the production facilities are drained after
certain treatment and not recycled. We are currently studying how we can recycle and reuse the water, and therefore reduce ourtotal water consumption.
