Fujitsu Components Group Environmental Report
FY2019The 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 by
striving 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 our principle “We shall 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. Global momentum for the environment is rising such as adoption of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015.
The Fujitsu Components Group continues to adopt measures that limit the environmental
impact by developing energy efficient products and proper utilization of resources, streamlining
the manufacturing process, recycling waste into valuable resources, and environmental
protection through socially responsible activities.
In parallel, the Fujitsu Components Group responds to the business environment and customers’
requirements immediately to carry out these environmental activities. We strive to realize thehuman and environmental friendly society through our products.

A working group comprised of members from 4 Japanese sites has been keeping activities in order to suppress CO2 emissions.
In FY2018, the touch panel factory introduced energy-saving equipment and added air pressure feeding pipes as well. The
pipes are arranged in loops to reduce the electricity that is used by compressors. Conventional pipe arrangement required
big pressure (energy) to pressurize by end of pipes from compressors, but loop-arrangement accepts of dispersive
placement of compressors and it reduced compressors’ energy consumption totally. As the result of this measure, we haveachieved reduction of CO2 emission compared with the last financial year.

8. Status of Social Contribution Activities
Each site engages in social contributions, not only our employees but also their family members participate, for biodiversity
conservation and engaging with local communities. Those activities are expanding year by year and are thoroughly
acknowledged as wonderful activities among neighbors.

9. 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 the reduction of environmental loads by minimizing the waste and converting them into thevaluable resources. From FY2018 onward, the amount of waste increased this year because some plastics used to be recycled
in the past had to be scrapped due to China's plastic trash ban. To address this increase, we have continuously studied tosegregate PET films and PVCs from other waste plastics to turn them to valuable plastics.

 Status of Environmental Laws Compliance
We have complied with all environmental laws or regulations in FY2018.

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 cleaned up 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 fromneighboring areas or administrative government.

11. Chemical Substances Contained in Products
 Management of Chemical Substances Contained in Products
All materials are purchased under the Common Environmental Purchasing Specifications, and Fujitsu Components Group
specified banned materials are checked by certification of compliance and chemSHERPA (*1) . Phthalic acid ester, which wasadded under the revised European RoHS directive, is analyzed by Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry and othermethods inside our company. In addition, we have established a management system for pollution control in production
sites and suppliers and check products’ compliance.
*1: A scheme that facilitates sharing information on chemical substances in products conducted by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. (Abbreviationof Chemical Information Sharing and Exchange under Reporting Partnership in supply chain).

 Green Procurement
We ask all supply partners to build an environmental management system as well as prevention of global warming andbiodiversity program to further the reduction of the environmental impact throughout the supply chain.

12. Actions to High Risk Minerals
Fujitsu Components Group promote investigation of the High Risk Minerals in line with OECD Due Diligence Guidance. We use areporting template of Responsible Materials Initiative (RMI) for conflict minerals and cobalt for these investigation. We willcontinue the activities to smelting manufacturers and to improve transparency of supply chain to provide reliable information
for the customers.
