1. Greeting
FY2014 was the second year of the 6th Stage of the “Fujitsu Components Group
Environmental Protection Program“ and we successfully achieved all targets
aiming to “development and offer of eco-friendly products”, “collaboration withsociety”, ”activities as good corporate citizens”, ”reduction of green housegas”, ”improvement of energy efficiency”, ”promotion to reduce CO2 emission ofbusiness partners”, and ”hold down of waste generation” .
In this fiscal year, PDU (Power Distribution Units *1) which contribute to reduce
the power loss during AC/DC conversion was assessed its safety and effectivenessand won the 59th Shibusawa Award*2. Also the deliveries of the relays werestarted for smart meter, which enables the effective use of electricity, and forregeneration system which improves fuel efficiency on vehicles.
The Fujitsu Components Group recognizes the role and responsibility toward
the environment and biodiversity conservation, and contributes to a sustainable
environment and society along with the FUJITSU Group’s “Environmental Policy”
and mid-term environmental vision of the “Green Policy 2020”.

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 27%*3 compared to FY2000 (22,777t-CO2)*4 by FY2015.

Improvement of energy efficiency

We will improve specific energy consumption*5 in a facility by an average of 1% per year.

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.
*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: Target value was amended due to GHG emission increase resulting form new line adder.
*4: CO2 conversion coefficient : 0.407ton-CO2/MWh at FY2002 is used for power conversion coefficient.
*5: 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
Chemical component information of raw and auxiliary materials used in our products have been controlled based on the reports
provided by material suppliers. Products conform to any regulations/laws and customer standards are developed by reflecting suchchemical information. Any new chemical substances added by European RoHS directives and REACH regulations are studied
immediately after release and the conformity of those adders are reflected on our products .

 Green procurement
The procurement of all raw and auxiliary materials are made in line with “Green procurement agreement” and “Environmental
common procurement specification” and actual procurement always come with certificate which guarantee non-use of restrictedmaterials specified by Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Components group and AIS data*1.
We also ask all supplier partners the implementation of building the environmental management system as well as prevention of
global warming and biodiversity program to further reduce the environmental load throughout supply chain.
<Actions to Conflict minerals>

In order to supply reliable information to the customers, the usage of conflict minerals*2 on our products are investigated in linewith OECD Due Diligence Guidance and CFSI (Conflict-free Sourcing Initiative).
*1 : AIS stands for Article Information Sheet, a standard format recommended by JAMP(Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium) to disclose/transmit information of chemical
substances contained.
*2 : 4 minerals ( Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and gold) mined from the area Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries.

 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 have 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.

 Improvement on energy efficiency
The specific energy consumption management have been performed among FUJITSU COMPONENT Engineering & Development
Center, SHINANO FUJITSU and MIYAZAKI FUJITSU COMPONENTS, all of which are specified as Type 2 designated energy management
factories *1. FUJITSU COMPONENT Engineering & Development Center and MIYAZAKI FUJITSU COMPONENTS have added new
production lines in FY2014 but their output did not reach to the level where those running lines have. As a result the specific energy
consumption ratio have turned lower than last year. Recovery of such ratio in FY2015 are expected by pulling new lines to full
capacity and adding additional production shift.
*1: Factories of which energy consumption grater than 1,500kl but under 3,000kl oil equivalent are specified by the law.

 Industrial waste reduction management
Fujitsu Components group strive to reduce their industrial waste and cost of disposal by exchanging information such as route forcollection, buyers for waste and the segregation methods. Small cut glasses and sludge after plating process which cannot berecycled are the ones we have to continuously study.

 Water usage reduction activities
Engineering and Development center has been using pure water in their production process. We have added purification process on
the part of drained water for reuse and also have made tight control on water valves on week end so that water usage proportion to
the production volume. As a result of those actions, approx. 7%(18,000m3) water saving compared with those of FY2013 wasachieved.
