Fujitsu Components Group
Environmental Report FY2023
The Fujitsu Components Group recognizes environmental management as one of the most important roles andcontributes to build a sustainable society and participates in the global environmental conservation by striving to reduce
harmful environmental impact generated by products or services offered throughout the business activities.

1. Greeting
Environmental philosophies such as the Paris Agreement, which came into effect in 2016, andthe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015, have spread widely around theworld, and the movement toward environmental conservation has been accelerating.
In Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has established the concept of Green
Transformation (GX). It requires each company to set their own targets for reducing greenhousegas emissions, disclose the details of their efforts to achieve these targets, actively encourage
their supply chain to achieve carbon neutrality, and lead the "greening of the market."
At Fujitsu Components Group, we have been implementing activities to reduce environmental
impact based on the philosophy of "caring for the environment and conducting better corporate
activities" since 1998. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we are also actively
working to reduce electricity and water usage, minimize industrial waste, and promote
environmental sustainability throughout our supply chain in collaboration with our business
partners.
While promoting the introduction of green products to the market, such as relays for electric andplug-in hybrid vehicles to facilitate access to clean energy, and mesh network products forinfrastructure development that create a foundation for industrial and technological innovation, wecontribute to the "greening of the market" through scientific and technological innovation incollaboration with our customers.

In addition to our business activities, we actively engage in social contribution initiatives, foster
coexistence with local communities, and strive for biodiversity conservation. Our goal is to directly
or indirectly contribute to the realization of a society that is environmentally friendly and beneficial
to both people and the natural world.

Air Conditioning Operations Aligned with Factory Processes

We have established an Energy Conservation Promotion Working Group, comprising representatives from threedomestic sites, and have been actively engaged in activities to reduce CO2 emissions by improving energy usage
efficiency.
In FY2022, we closely monitored and managed the operation of clean room air conditioning and boilers in line with themanufacturing plants' operations. We focused on reducing the use of “A heavy oil," particularly during winter. This
resulted in a reduction of 21,295 liters (15.7 t-CO2).
