Environmental Protection Activities Report
Operating Activities and Environmental Burdens
We established the "FDK Group Environmental Policy", and we are promoting environmental protection activities basedon the Environmental action plan ,through out the entire FDK Group.

FDK Group Environmental Policy
FDK Group considers it necessary to address environmental protection as a part of its corporate activities. This includes prevention ofglobal warming, reduction of wastes and thorough control over hazardous chemical substances, all of which should be implemented not
only based on laws and regulations of central and regional governments of Japan, but also based on the wider global perspectives. This
must be a shared idea among other companies toward the sublime proposition of realizing the sustainable society. In addition to its own
activities, FDK Group is decided to promote environmental protection in cooperation with Fujitsu Ltd. and adapt an environmental policy,
a fundamental for environmental activities of Fujitsu Ltd. The FDK Environmental Policy is the essence of the group s environmental

Important issues such as policies on environmental
activities are discussed in the Environmental Committee. The resolutions made by the committee willthen be implemented after approval by the Management Council. Detailed action plans including
policies and measures are decided at the Plant
Environmental Management Committee establishedat the environmental management system levelbased on ISO14001.
The plans are implemented by repeating the cycle ofPDCA (Plan, Do, Check and Action) for continuous
improvement to achieve spiral up.
Hazardous chemical substances contained in products are managed at the Committee for ProductsContaining Hazardous Chemical Substances, a
newly established internal organization in October
2004, to eliminate use of hazardous substances andappropriate control of them. (See page 22 for furtherinformation.)

(See page 18 for further information.)

Provision of Super-Green Products by the end of FY 2006
・ Super Green Products are the advanced form of green products
incorporating such properties as energy saving, 3R (Reduce,Reuse, Recycle)-based design, and elimination of hazardous chemical substances. They are forerunners having the world s 1st
world s smallest nation s ﬁrst industry s ﬁrst nation ssmallest and industry s smallest characteristics, which areintended to be released by the end of FY 2006.

Total 31 themes have been extracted as the targetfor developing Super Green Products. Among them,small-size chip inductor MIPF2520D Series wasrecognized as the ﬁrst super green product for theFDK Group. The mass-production started in February 2006.
(See page 19 for further information.)

・ Reduction of CO 2 emission is promoted through improvement of logistics, recycled use of products and packaging materials, and development and purchase of energy-saving products.

Revision of delivery truck route to shorten the travel
distance of a truck and use of returnable containers(TP trays) to enhance the truck loading eﬃciency
were addressed.
