Exclusion

Please explain

Tenants without
facility
management
authority (offices)

Among Fujitsu Group offices, tenants without facility management authority are excluded because measures to reduce water consumption are limited and it is sometimes difficult to grasp water
consumption. When the amount of water used per tenant office area is used to estimate the amount of water excluded, it is only about 2.8% of the total water used, which is very small. In
addition, the water used by these tenants is mainly for sanitation purposes, such as for toilets, and not for important business activities.

Sufficient amounts ofgood quality freshwater
available for use

Vital

Important[direct use]
Fujitsu uses massive amounts of high-quality freshwater for cleaning semiconductor substrates and print circuit boards during their production. Our earnings
may be impacted in the event freshwater availability is stagnated due to lower product yields. Therefore, having ample amounts of high-quality freshwater isvital.
Freshwater is also used for the cooling tower at data centers. Stable supplies of freshwater are vital in providing IT services around the clock, 24/7/365.
Fujitsu Group will be less dependent on fresh water towards the future. This is primarily because the Company has sold its main semiconductor plants in aneffort to focus on IT services instead of manufacturing, and also because the Company is developing green data center technologies to reduce the load on
data center cooling towers.
[indirect use]
Significant loads of high-quality freshwater are used for the cleaning of substrates during production at our semiconductor substrate supplier. The timely
procurement of substrates will be made impossible in the event usage of freshwater becomes limited across multiple suppliers, and may ultimately lead to ourloss of trust following delays in our product deliveries. Having ample amounts of high-quality freshwater at our supplier manufacturing plants is thus important.
Future dependency will be decreased due to shift our core business from manufacturing to IT services and we will no longer need to procure substrates.

Sufficient amounts ofrecycled, brackish and/or
produced water available
for useImportant

Important[direct use]
Semiconductor and printed circuit boards plants which withdraw a large amount of water collect and treat wastewater and reuse it as recycled water to clean
them.
We consider it important to use recycled water to ensure sustainable use of water resources by reducing withdrawal of freshwater, meet customer demands,
and reduce cost.
Fujitsu Group will be less dependent on recycled water towards the future. This is primarily because the Company has sold its main semiconductor plants,
and the abovementioned PCB plant is also planned to be sold.
[indirect use]
At our substrate suppliers that require such large volumes of water, waste water from the manufacturing process is collected and processed into recycledwater so they are used to clean substrates.
We consider availability of recycled water important in order to use water resources efficiently to reduce environmental impacts and cost.
Future dependency will be decreased due to shift our core business from manufacturing to IT services and we will no longer need to procure substrates.

Water withdrawals
quality100%

In the plants that produce semiconductors and printed circuit boards, we monitor supplied water quality to check if it meets acceptance criteria of pure water(pH, water temperature, electrical conductivity, FT test (time to pass through filter), etc) on a daily basis. In all the facilities that collect water withdrawn fromthe Waterworks Bureau in a water tank (with capacity more than 10m3) and supply it, water quality testing of drinking water specified by law (regarding pH,
residual chlorine, bacteria including colon bacilli, heavy metals, disinfection by-products, taste, color, odor, etc.) is conducted at least once a year by a thirdparty organization.

Water discharges – total 100%
volumes

In large facilities, we monitor the amount of water discharged to sewers and rivers in real time using drainage water flow meters installed in the facilities throughthe building management system. For the facilities that discharge water only to sewers, we monitor the amount of water discharged written in drainage bills of
the Sewerage Bureau on a monthly basis. The monitoring data of all facilities are collected through an in-house system by the environmental department
every six months.

Water discharges –volumes by destination

100%

In large facilities, we monitor the amount of water discharged to sewers and rivers in real time using drainage water flow meters installed in the facilities throughthe building management system. For the facilities that discharge water only to sewers, we monitor the amount of water discharged written in drainage bills of
the Sewerage Bureau on a monthly basis. The monitoring data of all facilities are collected through an in-house system by the environmental department
every six months.

Water discharges –volumes by treatment
method100%

The treatment methods include neutralization, chemical precipitation, purifying tank, and no treatment (for water not in contact with chemical substances suchas cooling water). Meters are installed in each treatment facility for daily monitoring. The monitoring data of all facilities are collected through an in-housesystem by the environmental department every six months.

Water discharge quality– by standard effluent
parameters100%

For all facilities, we have our own set of standards in place that are stricter than those
stipulated in the local authority ordinances, and monitor pH, BOD, COD, etc. on a basis ranging from real-time to semi-annual (depending on the parameter).
We measure pH with pH electrodes installed at outlets and conduct real-time monitoring with the building management system. Regarding BOD and COD, athird-party analytical body analyses sample water and delivers the results in hard copy by snail mail. The results are inputted in Microsoft Excel worksheets by
the person in charge of each site. The data thus inputted are gathered by the environmental department every six months through an in-house system.

Water discharge quality– temperature

100%

The effluent temperature of water discharged to rivers may affect the ecosystem. Given this, in facilities that discharge water to rivers, thermometers are
installed at the outlets to monitor effluent temperature on a basis ranging from monthly to semi-annual. Facilities equipped with the building management
system conduct real-time monitoring of effluent temperature.

Water consumption –total volume

100%

Evaporation from circulated coolant water in cooling towers installed in all facilities accounts for most of our water consumption. It is impossible to measure theamount of water evaporated (consumed) for cooling towers as they are not equipped with dedicated inflow meters. Thus, we monitor the amount of water
consumption through calculation by deducting discharge from withdrawal. Facilities withdrawing a large amount of water conduct real-time monitoring of water
consumption derived by deducting discharge from withdrawal via the building management system. In other facilities, the person(s) in charge conducts
monthly monitoring by calculating consumption on Excel worksheets. The consumption data are gathered by the environmental department every six months
through an in-house system.

Water recycled/reused100%

In all the facilities that use recycled water, we have installed meters(PH, flow rate, electrical conductivity ) and monitor it in real time through the building
management system. The monitoring data of the facilities are collected through an in-house system by the environmental department on a monthly basis.

The provision of fullyfunctioning, safely
managed WASH
services to all workers

100%

We hire an external qualified person(s) to monitor drinking water quality at the ends of pipes where chlorine concentration becomes lowest, pursuant to theWater Supply Act and other legislation in Japan. Test reagents are used once a year to measure pH and residual chlorine at the site where water is sampled.
Regarding colon bacilli, external qualified persons bring water samples back for analysis and later deliver the results in hard copy by snail mail. The results are
inputted in Microsoft Excel worksheets by the person in charge of each site. The environmental department confirms the execution of above tests by audit
conducted according to the ISO14001-based Environmental Management System.

Total water intake was roughly unchanged from the previous year, up just 3%. A factor behind this result was that a semiconductor plant (part of the remaining part of
the Aizu Wakamatsu Plant) that accounts for about 10% of total water intake was removed from consolidation in the second quarter of FY2021. Another was that
increases in water intake attributable to increased production of electronic components exceeded decreases achieved by efforts toward reducing water intake atelectronic component plants and other facilities to achieve the targets set in the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan (Stage X). As for future trends in the shortterm, for the plants, the volume of withdrawn water will likely not increase significantly from a large increase in production, regardless of increasing production volume
for some electronic components due to a rise in teleworking demand on the back of the pandemic. The downward trend in water withdrawal volume is thus expected
to continue. In the mid- to long term, the total withdrawal is expected to keep decreasing because, based on our business strategy to shift the business focus frommanufacturing to IT services, water-dependent plants will leave the consolidated group.

About thesame

The removal from consolidation of the semiconductor plant (part of the remaining part of the Aizu Wakamatsu Plant), which accounts for about 10% of total
wastewater discharge, was a factor behind a decrease in wastewater discharge from the previous fiscal year. Given that the majority of the Company's water intake
is for cleaning printed circuit boards and electronic components, almost all water intake is discharged except for the evaporation from cooling-tower operations.
Although water intake increased by 3%, water recycling initiatives and other efforts resulted in a decrease in total wastewater discharge of 2.9% from the previous
year. Thus, total wastewater discharge was roughly the same as that of the previous fiscal year. As for future trends in the short term, for the plants, the volume ofdischarged water will likely not increase significantly from a large increase in production, regardless of increasing production volume for some electronic components
due to a rise in teleworking demand on the back of the pandemic. The downward trend in discharged water volume is thus expected to continue. In the mid- to longterm, the total discharge is expected to keep decreasing because, based on our business strategy to shift the business focus from manufacturing to IT services,
water-dependent plants will leave the consolidated group.

consumption

About thesame

Evaporation from circulated coolant water in cooling towers (water-cooled air-conditioning) installed at all facilities accounts for most of our water consumption. It is
impossible to measure an amount of water evaporated of cooling towers as they are not equipped with dedicated inflow meters. Thus, we calculate water
consumption by deducting discharge from withdrawal.([FY2021 Water consumption of 296 million liters] = [FY2021 Withdrawal of 6,975 million liters] – [FY2021
Discharge of 6,678 million liters]). In FY2021, the total consumption increased by 3.1% over the previous year. Thus, total consumption was roughly the same as thatof the previous fiscal year. Looking at future trends, water consumption in cooling towers is expected to fall in the short term. This is because of the low likelihoodthat wastewater volume will grow significantly from large increases in production. However, consumption figures may fluctuate regardless of the actual increase or
decrease, depending on the wastewater meters' measurement deviations. Also, in the mid- to long-term, the total consumption is expected to keep decreasing
because, based on our business strategy to shift the business focus from manufacturing to IT services, more manufacturing plants equipped with cooling towers are
expected to leave the consolidated group.

WRI
Aqueduct

The latitudes and longitudes of all the facilities are input on WRI Aqueduct, and area-by-area physical risk (quantitative/qualitative) and facilities with a
total risk score 8 or higher are identified. The results showed 7 facilities in Japan and 8 overseas scored 8 or higher, which are then designated as
facilities located in water stressed areas. These facilities are either offices or assembly plants, which are not highly dependent on water. On the other
hand, all of highly water-dependent facilities (Aizu- Wakamatsu Plant, Takaoka Plant, Wakaho Plant, Arai Plant) except Akashi Facility score less than
8. Akashi Facility (Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture) has no production lines but yet withdraws a relatively large amount of water, entailed highquantitative physical risk, and its deteriorated storage function was a high-risk factor. Thus, we had experts conduct field interviews and carried out
research on the Facility’s current withdrawal demands and supply status and future outlook based on information published by the Enterprise Agency
which supplies industrial water to this facility. As a result, it was found unlikely that the Akashi Facility would be exposed to quantitative risk. Kamata
Facility (Ota-ku, Tokyo), which is an office with small dependency on water, was found to entail high qualitative physical risk. Thus, we checked
examinations of drinking water for employees in terms of their execution status (at least once a year) and results (pH, residual chlorine, colon bacilli
and other bacteria, heavy metals, disinfection by-products, taste, color, odor, etc.) and confirmed there was no water quality risk. We assume theresults of qualitative physical risk assessment by WRI Aqueduct are based on the results of groundwater quality measurements taken by the Ministryof the Environment. Kamata Facility has no functions such as manufacturing that require withdrawal of a large amount of water and does not have aneed to withdraw groundwater now and in the future. Therefore, we confirmed it is very unlikely that the Facility would be exposed to the risk in the
future. It was also confirmed that the Facility has no factors to worsen water quality risks (e.g. the use of chemical substances in the location).

Because the supply from rainwater is unstable, and withdrawal of water directly from wetlands, rivers, and lakes poses a problem of water rights
over the basin, which makes them an unstable supply sources, it is not supposed to be used at semiconductor plant which require a large amountof water withdrawal at all times (Aizu-Wakamatsu Plant) and also at data centers (Akashi Facility and Tatebayashi Facility) which require stablewater supply for cooling towers to keep customers' IT equipment running reliably. Facilities locate in industrial parks operated by local
governments, e.g. Aizu- Wakamatsu Plant and Tatebayashi Facility, and all overseas sites have stable water sources owned by local
governments, thus we don't need to directly withdraw from fresh surface water. We do not assume withdrawal from fresh surface water in the
future because water supply from local government will continue to be most stable.

For our data centers services (Akashi Facility and Tatebayashi Facility), and electronic components manufacturing (Aize Wakamatsu Plant,
Oyama Plant, Takaoka Plant, Wakaho Plant, Arai Plant and Kohoku Plant) which collectively account about 79.4% of total water withdrawal,
sodium contamination poses a risk of defects and faults in IT equipment and an inefficient operation of cooling towers and thus should be
avoided. To this end, it is not possible to use salt-containing water at this facilities. Thus they are not located in regions where it is possible towithdraw brackish water or sea water. Data centers that sustain our Technology Solutions will increase its importance in our business in future,and therefore, we will continue to stay away from saltcontaining water.

Groundwater –renewable

Relevant

4151

Semiconductor and printed circuit board plants use a large amount of water in the cleaning process. Among them, those located in Nagano,
Fukushima,Niigata that boast rich groundwater and low ground subsidence risk (Wakaho , Takaoka , Aizu-Wakamatsu , Arai Plant) use
groundwater for water cost reduction. Water intake increased mainly due to increased production at plants in Nagano(Wakaho, Takaoka Plants) ,Niigata (Arai Plant), but there was also a decrease from the previous year due to the Aizu Wakamatsu Plant (Fukushima) being excluded from thescope of consolidation since August, resulting in an overall slight increase of 3.4%, which was judged to be “virtually unchanged”. In terms of
future trends, given Company's management policy of shifting its core business from manufacturing to IT services, a significant increase in water
withdrawal arising from a large increase in production is unlikely. As such, the downward trend in water withdrawal from groundwater is expected
to continue.

Groundwater –non-renewableNot
relevant<Not Applicable> <Not
Applicable>

Non-renewable groundwater is an unstable source of water, and therefore, in terms of business continuity, it is highly risky for plants requiring alarge volume of water to depend on non-renewable groundwater. Also considering the fact that the Japanese government prohibits use of nonrenewable groundwater, we are technically unable to withdraw non-renewable groundwater. To this end, plants requiring use of groundwater(Aizu- Wakamatsu Plant ,Wakaho Plant, Takaoka Plant, Arai Plant) are all situated in regions with a rich supply of groundwater(renewable) andlow ground subsidence risk (Nagano, Fukushima and Niigata Prefecture) to ensure business continuity.
Given these, we do not and will not withdraw non-renewable groundwater now and in the future.

We produce system products (e.g. main frames, UNIX servers, super computers), network products (e.g. mobile phone station towers, opticaltransmission system), and devices (e.g. electronic components such as semiconductor packages) (as of the reporting year). No produced wateror processed water is present in the electric/electronic equipment procurement process and in the manufacturing process, respectively.
Therefore, we cannot withdraw produced water or process water. Because our services will primarily be pertaining to software development andIT system development after deconsolidating our plants in the short term (by selling the semiconductor plants (part of the remaining parts of the
Aizuwakamatsu plant)) based on our shift of our main line of business from manufacturing to IT services, we will not be involved in processed or
produced water in our future businesses as well.

Third party sources Relevant

2824

Facilities which located in industrial parks, such as electronic components plants in Japan, and all overseas sites, withdraw water from local
governments (third-party) . Production of some electronic components increased at plants located in Nagano, Niigata Prefectures due toteleworking demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, total amount was largely unchanged, as there was a large decrease in domestic
water consumption caused by a significantly lower office attendance rate. As for future trends in the short term, the volume of withdrawn water isunlikely to increase significantly from a large increase in production. The downward trend in water withdrawal volume from third parties is thus
expected to continue. In the medium to long term, the Fujitsu policy of shifting core business from manufacturing to IT services, the volume ofwater withdrawn from third parties is likely to continue declining as more plants that are highly dependent on water are expected to be
deconsolidated.

Business sites that generate significant volumes of water discharge may exceed the treatment capacity of municipal wastewater treatment facilities.
For this reason, Aizu Wakamatsu ,Oyama ,Takaoka,Wakaho, Arai,Kohoku plants and Akashi facility have set voluntary control standards stricter thaneffluent control standards of the respective local governments, and discharge water after monitoring water quality. In FY2021, wastewater discharge
increased in line with increase in water intake, but the total was slightly higher at 2.6%, which was judged to be “virtually unchanged,” due to adecrease from the previous year because Aizu Wakamatsu Plant (Fukushima) was excluded from the scope of consolidation after August. Discharge
will continue decreasing because semiconductor plants that discharge into fresh surface water (part of the remaining parts of Aizuwakamatsu plant)

poses a risk of defects and faults in IT equipment and thus should be avoided. Thus, these facilities are not located in regions where it is possible todischarge into brackish water or sea water, and we are not relevant to their water. Going forward, as data centers that sustain our Technology

Electronic components facilities in Japan and all overseas sites are located in industrial parks. As local governments provide water supply, sewage

FY2021,wastewater discharge increased in line with increase in intake, but total was slightly higher at 4.8%, which was judged to be “virtuallyunchanged,” due to a decrease from the previous year because Aizu Wakamatsu Plant was excluded from the scope of consolidation after August.
Going forward,our wastewater emitted to third parties is expected to decrease in the short term, given that semiconductor plants will bedeconsolidated and other plants are not likely to see significant increases in water withdrawal following increased production.In the mid- to long-term,
total discharge is expected to keep decreasing because based on our business strategy to shift the core business to IT services.

Tertiary treatment is conducted to ensure that the quality of water after treatment meets legal regulations (the Water Pollution
Prevention Act, municipal ordinances, etc.) and voluntary standards, which are stricter than legal standards, with respect towater quality before treatment. Tertiary treatment is particularly important in the case of discharge into rivers. Depending on
the impurities contained in the wastewater discharged from the manufacturing process, the water is treated by coagulation
sedimentation, ion-exchange resin adsorption, oxidation reduction, etc., followed by filtration and neutralization. An alarm isissued before monitored items exceed their specified values, and discharging is shut down to prevent water outside
specifications from being discharged. The water is returned to the previous process for retreatment. Therefore, Fujitsu

Rationale for this coverage
We set out conservation of water resources as a requirement in the green procurement standards for suppliers, and requests all suppliers to take actions. In particular, weposition suppliers with the highest annual procurement values and suppliers associated with our main products as our "major suppliers" (5% of the total number of suppliersand 80% of the total procurement costs) and are subject to survey on environmental activities conducted that includes the annual volume of water withdrawal, status ofwater related initiatives, and cooperation with stakeholders.
The responses to the survey are reflected in the assessment of the supplier and results are fed back to them, requesting to take corrective actions as necessary. Dependingon the results of such actions, the suppliers are reconsidered. Based on the contribution to our business and the answers to the survey, letters of appreciation may beawarded.
Impact of the engagement and measures of success
The annual survey on environmental activities asks suppliers to provide the annual volume of water withdrawal, status of water initiatives, and cooperation with externalorganizations. Based on their responses, we identify issues and the status of supplier activities and consider what actions to take with regard to our supply chains. We also
reflect responses collected for the survey in supplier assessments, give feedback to the suppliers, asking for remedial actions where necessary, and use the results when
considering future business terms. These activities and survey results are shared with management of the Sustainability Management Committee, chaired by the CEO, andare used for strategic planning of environmental activities. The success of the survey is measured by the annual response rate, the threshold of which is 90%. The response
rate for FY2021 was 99.7%, and the survey was assessed as successful.

As part of Fujitsu's collaborative efforts with suppliers, we analyse and evaluate supply survey results and use them to review our business conditions. We also award
certificates of appreciation to suppliers with remarkable evaluation results. This survey is conducted for product suppliers in which procurement totals at least 6 million yen
per year (47% of all suppliers and accounting for 81% of the total procurement amount) every fiscal year on business continuity against natural disasters, including
earthquakes and floods, and the spread of diseases, including infectious diseases. Water risks such as tsunamis, floods and heavy rains are also included in the survey.
This is a different survey item from W1.4a. Based on the results of the survey, for our business partners determined to be particularly at risk, we have prepared to minimize
the impact on our business, including multi-sourcing.
In addition, using on-site audits based on the RBA’s Code of Conduct as a guideline, we provide guidance and encourage improvement and engagement when it
determines that the supplier’s response regarding prevention of wastewater and water source pollution is inadequate in the system.
Impact of the engagement and measures of success
Because supplier water management-related assessments, awards and other engagement activities are based on survey results, Fujitsu thinks that collecting data throughsurveys is important for supplier engagement.
By collecting the data, Fujitsu creates a list of the locations and other information of its business partners and utilizes it for investigation in the event of an unexpected
situation. This identifies and mitigates the impact on products. And because the impact from water-related risks such as tsunamis, floods and heavy rains are reflected tosupply stability in the supplier evaluation, Fujitsu can now take measures such as reviewing future terms.
Therefore, the response rate of the annual survey for product-related business partners (81% of the total procurement amount) in which procurement totals at least 6 million
yen per year is set as an indicator for successful engagement (threshold is 90%). The response rate in FY2021 was 88%, which narrowly missed the threshold. We
repeatedly communicated the need to address water risk in subsequent reminders to raise awareness among suppliers, and undertook activities to close the threshold gap.
In addition, when improvements occur based on onsite audits in accordance with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA)’s Code of Conduct, the achievement of
improvements is used as a measure of success for the engagement.

(W1.4c) What is your organization’s rationale and strategy for prioritizing engagements with customers or other partners in its value chain?
As a global ICT company, along with mitigation of our business impacts on water resources, we consider it important to play our roles of providing solutions for customers
facing water issues. This is the reason to prioritize customer engagement.
The governments and companies whom Fujitsu has continued delivering core ICT systems are important customers. We have a wide range of knowledge and technologies
developed through long-standing efforts to tackle flood damage and control in Japan in collaboration with governments. In other countries of Asia, we start engaging withgovernments to address increasingly experiencing water disasters that affect unexpectedly wide areas and damage urban infrastructures due to the recent extreme weather.
Our opportunities of engagement lie in mitigating risks of water scarcity and water-related disasters by helping government and agencies to gather disaster and damage
information as quickly as possible by ICT solutions. For example, the Jakarta and North Sumatra Province Disaster Prevention Bureau has adopted our disaster information
management system. With this system, the Bureau established a structure to ensure timely and accurate response to natural disasters. As part of our efforts to promote a
circular economy, we entered into an agreement with Botanical Water Technologies Ltd. for the world's first water trading platform enabling the trading of plant-derived
drinking water by applying a blockchain solution. This will allow a safe and secure water trade.
We are a company that provides ICT infrastructure, and customers are the main players engaging in activities to resolve water-related issues. Given the fact that
communication is pivotal in providing ICT infrastructure that will effectively back these activities, we put a high level of priority towards customer engagement.
Success is measured by whether it helped resolve customers’ water-related problems and the number of applicable services/support projects developed.

(W3.3b) Describe your organization’s process for identifying, assessing, and responding to water-related risks within your direct operations and other stages ofyour value chain.
We identify, assess water-associated risks pertaining to direct operations and supply chain by using tools. The risks identified through following process are reported to Risk
Management & Compliance Committee chaired by President. Based on that, decisions on damage minimization and recurrence prevention measures are made, taking into
account qualitative and monetary impact of the risk and its probability of occurrence.

For direct operations, we assess production bases across the world on their compliance with laws, responses to stakeholders, progress on water targets, throughEnvironmental Management System based on ISO14001 and on-site audits. Also, in order to secure 72-hour operations at data centers in the event of a blackout and watersupply disruption, we have been using regional government databases to assess risks pertaining to water supply and disasters during all data center construction, operationalchanges since 2013. We also utilize WRI Aqueduct to assess physical, reputational risks moving forward across all 55 locations with the purpose of identifying water-related
stress points.

For supply chain, we have been incorporating internal company method since 2013 to collect and analyse information on annual water usage, efforts on using sustainable
water sources and collaborations with external organizations for first suppliers and reflect the results on assessment of suppliers. All suppliers are required to take actions
related to the environment, including water resource conservation, under Green Procurement Standards. In particular, we conduct screening of first suppliers, which accountfor approximately 80% of all procurement value, for which risk management is especially important, and subject them to screening via a survey. In addition, to suppliers, wehave been introducing the importance of evaluating water-related risks and public evaluation tools, and conducting annual on-site audits based on RBA's code of conduct
since FY2015. Here, we survey applicable first suppliers' efforts on preventing wastewater and water pollution whom we selected based on water pollution risk assessment ofregions, procurement history and other evaluation results. And as a part of ERM, we conduct business continuity surveys on natural disasters, including water-related
disasters, for suppliers in the manufacturing industry every year through using JEITA's standard survey form in order to identify suppliers at risk against natural disasters andminimize the risks. In order to roll out approaches to our second suppliers through first suppliers, we are currently focusing on reaching out to our first suppliers.

As for contextual issues, for water use, there is the fact that water is essential at our business locations as cleaning water for printed circuit boards and cooling water at data
centers. Thus, we must assess water availability at the watershed and reservoir levels in addition to compliance with laws in order to avoid operational shutdowns risk. In
manufacturing process of printed circuit boards, impurities in the water used for cleaning can cause problems that increase the rate of defective products so availability ofgood quality fresh water is also important to our main products and raw materials. Furthermore, the provision of well-functioning and safely managed WASH services to
employees is also taken into account, as we place the health and safety of employees as one of top management priorities. For water discharge, production sites use waterfor cleaning printed circuit boards, controlling the concentration of fluoride and suspended particulate matter in wastewater is important for complying with laws and reducing
environmental impact (avoiding deterioration of living environments). Therefore, we conduct assessments at regional level, taking into account water quality, stakeholder
conflicts, water-related regulatory frameworks, and current state of ecosystems and habitats. Water availability, quality assurance, compliance with regulatory frameworks arealso recognized as important issues and taken into account in the assessment to avoid supply chain interruption risks

As for stakeholders, It is important to assess water risks by taking customers into account, since there is a risk of credit deterioration due to delays in providing products as aresult of water-related disasters at plants. Investors who place importance on ESG-related disclosure, including water risk, are also taken into account in order to avoid risk ofdelays in fundraising. We also include regulatory bodies from the perspective of legal compliance, suppliers from the perspective of stable production, and public utilities at
local level (water supply that meets purity standards of plants) among important stakeholders. We also take into account employees (health, safety) as well as communities
affected by wastewater discharges, other water users in the watershed/catchment basin, and NGOs (reputational risk ) in assessments.

W4. Risks and opportunities

W4.1(W4.1) Have you identified any inherent water-related risks with the potential to have a substantive financial or strategic impact on your business?
No

W4.1a

CDP

Page 10 of 21

(W4.1a) How does your organization define substantive financial or strategic impact on your business?
The Risk Management & Compliance Committee, established under the board to manage important risks, define a measurement method of "risk amount" (substantive
change) related to both direct operation and supply chain, as at "Risk Amount = Impact level x possibility of occurrence". The "Impact level" is assessed on a level of 1
through 5 with the two indicators of "loss of trust" and "monetary damages including decrease in sales" that occurred due to an inability to continue business. The "probabilityof occurrence" is assessed on a level of 1 through 5 based on the number of occurrences within a fixed period.
As for Impact level, qualitative impact is assessed between 5 levels, such as a level stating "Has impact on the Fujitsu Group's continuity", monetary impact is also assessed
between 5 levels, such as "more than 100 billion JPY." The 5 levels of assessment for "probability of occurrence" include "Likely to occur (occurs several times a year)." Eachof the items will be assessed as possessing "substantive financial or strategic impact on our business" If the "risk amount" multiplied by the respective level is above thethreshold of 15.
This applies to both direct operation and supply chain. In the case of direct operation, for example, in a printed circuit board or semiconductor plant (Takaoka Plant, Wakaho
Plant, Aizu-Wakamatsu Plant, etc.), if groundwater or water is limited by 10% for a month due to a decrease in the water level of the water source dam, the financial impact of
the expected production decrease is estimated to be several billion yen. Based on the fact that such restriction of water intake has not occurred since the establishment of theplant until now, it is assumed that it will occur at a level of once in 30 years. These assumptions are evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5, and given the "risk amount" results to lessthan 15, they are not evaluated as having a "substantial financial or strategic impact".
As an example of the supply chain, when the Chao Phraya River in Thailand overflowed its banks in 2011, the factories in the supply sources stopped their operations, which
affected our businesses. This impact was calculated as a reduction of 28 billion yen in sales (including a decrease in revenue associated with reviews of production plans andsales plans due to floods, trial calculation of rough impact values such as cost increases etc., delay in parts procurement and price increase, impact values caused byproduction adjustment of clients). We assume that flood damage of the same level occurs at a level of once a decade. The financial impact and the frequency of occurrence
are evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5, and results in an "amount of risk" of less than 15. Therefore, flood damage comparable to the flood in Thailand is not evaluated as having a"substantial financial or strategic impact".

W4.2b(W4.2b) Why does your organization not consider itself exposed to water risks in its direct operations with the potential to have a substantive financial or

impact anticipated substantive impacts can be avoided because the following assessments and risk management have been undertaken.
For all 55 sites including high water dependent facilities such as Aizuwakamatsu Plant (semiconductors), Oyama Plant, Takaoka Plant, Wakaho Plant, Arai Plant (printed circuit boards),
Akashi Facility, Tatebayashi Facility (data center with cooling towers) assessments are conducted on legal compliance, responses to stakeholders, and the status of water management
activities every year through internal audits based on ISO 14001.
We also conduct the risk assessment by WRI Aqueduct for all 55 sites and we found that the scores for 15 sites exceed the threshold as water stress area located. However, all of which
are sales offices or assembly plants with low degree of dependency on water. The scores for the sites with high dependency did not exceed the threshold except Akashi Facility. We
conduct future detailed investigations for it and found substantive impacts can be avoided.
For all data centers including Akashi and Tatebayashi Facility, flood and drought risk are assessed for ensuring 72-hour operation in case of water supply interruption, using databases
provided by the governments and measures to avoid risks were taken.
As we are shifting our core business from highly water dependent manufacturing to less water dependent IT services based on our business strategy, substantive impacts are notanticipated in the future as well.

W4.2c(W4.2c) Why does your organization not consider itself exposed to water risks in its value chain (beyond direct operations) with the potential to have asubstantive financial or strategic impact?
PrimaryreasonPlease explain

Row Risks exist, Since our suppliers of substrate for semiconductors use large volumes of water, events where water supply is limited can lead to procurement risk and substantive impact on sales. For instance,1
but noin Taiwan water source contamination from gallium, indium, and arsenic in 2006, causing significant impacts on semiconductor suppliers depending on high-quality pure water that led loss of
substantive sales, and in Thailand floods in 2011 which hit 80 sites of our suppliers including semiconductor parts. Furthermore, suppliers imposing excessive loads on water basin through water consumption
impactand discharge can be a risk of losing credibility from our customers and other stakeholders. However, that substantive impacts from these risks can be avoided because the following
anticipated assessments and measures have been undertaken.
We assess environmental engagement of suppliers through the annual survey where "the major business partners (5% of total suppliers, 80% of total procurement costs)" related to our main
products are asked to answer their engagements. In the survey, information is collected and analysed on the annual water intake, the state of efforts on the sustainable use of water resources,
and cooperation with external organizations, and the results are reflected in the evaluation of suppliers. And we request improvements if necessary.
We also carry out annually on-the-spot audits based on the Code of Conduct of RBA to complement the survey from FY2015. Of our main suppliers, companies were selected based on the risk ofwater source pollution, procurement results, and other evaluation results. Fujitsu conducted a survey on measures to prevent wastewater and water source pollution, and provides guidance tosuppliers with insufficient systems. And we point out issues and encourage countermeasures. According to survey results to date, no water-related risks, including outflow pollution, have been
identified. (In fiscal 2019, the survey was conducted at three companies. However, in FY2020 & FY2021, on-site audits were not conducted in response to the pandemic.)
We also conduct a business continuity survey against natural disasters including water disasters every year, for product suppliers (81% of total procurement) through the standard form of JEITA.
For suppliers deemed to have a high risk, we take measures to minimize it. A list of suppliers' sites locations and emergency contacts is managed to avoid impacts in the case of unexpected
events.

Cost savings
Company-specific description & strategy to realize opportunity
The cleaning of printed circuit boards requires significant water usage and accounts for a considerable portion of production costs in each plant. Therefore, the cutting downof water withdrawal leads to cost reduction and hence is a strategic business opportunity. With that said, the Environmental Action Plan has set goals for water intake andpromote improvements on the manufacturing process, including the reuse of pure water, are in effect at each plant. During the Environmental Action Plan (Stage X) period
from FY2021 to FY2022, we set a goal of reducing our water usage by 30,000 m3 or more by March 2023. We recognize that if we achieve this goal, we will have theopportunity to reduce our water intake costs by about 7.5 million yen in terms of calculation. In FY2021, we achieved a water intake reduction of 83,315m3, a figure thatexceeded our target. This gave us the opportunity to reduce our water intake costs by about 20.83 million yen. For example, our group company Shinko Electric Industries
that manufactures printed circuit boards has set targets for water withdrawal. At Shinko Electric Industries, an 56,671 m3 reduction was achieved through a review ofmanufacturing conditions, optimization of equipment flow rates, and reduction of washing water, and there was an opportunity for a calculated reduction of approximately
14.25 million yen in water intake costs.
We will continue promoting water consumption reductions and strive to further expand opportunities to reduce our water intake costs in FY2022.

Explanation of financial impact
The amount of water intake reduced for FY2021 during the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan Stage X was 83,315 m3. This equates to approximately 20.83 million
yen in cost reduction when the unit price (average water rates for typical plants) is multiplied. The cost reduction effect was estimated by multiplying the average water
charge by the actual water consumption reduction.

Our aim is to strengthen our commitment to management goals that arelinked to the fulfillment of Fujitsu’s Purpose. “To make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.” As a result, we decided to add the Dow
Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), a set of third-party benchmarks on ESG, as an evaluation indicator in determining their bonuses. From now on, DJSI rating will be linked
to the amount of bonuses paid. And since “reduction of water consumption” is included among DJSI evaluation items, the degree to which water consumption reduction
efforts have progressed will affect executive directors’ bonus payment rate (by plus or minus several percent).

people are able to live well within the Earth's limits by 2050, in response to global challenges. It includes areas of business activities essential to society, including water issues.
This vision is consistent with Fujitsu's Purpose. and also in line with our long-term water-related goals.

objectives

We are implementing strategies that contain both internal and external elements to achieve the long-term vision. We looking at a time span of more than 30 years for internal andmore than 11 years for contributions to customers and society(external strategies).
As for internal strategies, we conduct water risk assessment. An example is flood damage, which we analyse based on hazard maps using time spans of up to 100 or even 1,000
years. Specifically, (1) An evaluation to determine whether facilities of Fujitsu and domestic Group companies fall within “anticipated flood inundation zones (rainfall on a scale that
occurs about once every 10-100 years)” (2) An evaluation for domestic data centers and sites for which water-related risks have a large effect on business with a criterion of“anticipated flood inundation zones ( rainfall on a scale that occurs about once every 1000 years)” . The results led us to take protective measures that included installing retaining
walls and water stops at business sites where the ultimate impact would be large.
As for external strategies, we announced a new business brand, Fujitsu Uvance, that promotes business focused on solving social issues, including water issues . We haveannounced that we will begin by promoting business development in Key Focus Areas selected based on social issues with a vision of Society in 2030. We will also continue
developing strategies toward fulfilling our Purpose, long-term vision that look beyond 2030.

Financialplanning

The budget plans that we prepare each year contain funds specifically earmarked for promoting above-mentioned strategies to achieve long-term goals.
For example, we evaluate water risk (flood damage) using time spans of up to 100 or even 1,000 years with an eye to promoting internal strategies and then prepare budgets toimplement measures that we derived as a result.
This also applies to Fujitsu Uvance, which promotes businesses focused on solving social issues, including water issues, as a means promoting strategies that make contributions
to customers and society. We began by preparing a financial plan to promote strategy implementation toward 2030. However, we will also continue to examine financial plans thatwill facilitate the study of strategies toward realizing our Purpose, long-term vision, and business objectives with a view of society as it will look after 2030.

Anticipated forward trend for OPEX (+/- % change)-1Please explain
In FY2021, water-related investments were made in water treatment augmentation and dewatering equipment replacement construction, in addition to repair and material
costs.
The decrease in capital expenditures was due to the fact that capital expenditures were not as large as in the previous year.
Since there are no major investment plans for the next fiscal year and beyond, the amount is expected to be the same as the current fiscal year.

impactPlease explain

We classify those products that have acquired environmental labels through a third-party certification
system (such as Eco Mark and EPEAT) that takes into account impact on water as products having low
impact on water.
The Japan Environment Association’s Eco Mark is an environmental label given to products that arerecognized as having a low environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle, from production todisposal, and as being useful in environmental conservation.
Eco Mark evaluation in the area of product manufacturing includes compliance with environmental laws
and regulations concerning water pollution and hazardous substance emissions in areas where plants
conducting the final manufacturing processes are located.
On the other hand, EPEAT is a standard for indicating that electronic products are environmentallyfriendly. It evaluates products under the management of the Green Electronics Council (GEC) of theUnited States based on standards established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). EPEAT evaluations include product manufacturing-associated water consumption in the supply
chain.

<Not Applicable>

Our company, Fujitsu, was the first company in Japanto receive Eco Mark certification for desktop PCs inJanuary 2001. Today, we possess Eco Markcertification for our personal computers, printers, andscanners.
EPEAT is displayed on products that meet standards
set by the Green Electronics Council. Our personal
computers, scanners, and servers currently bear the
EPEAT label.

Reduced environmental impact
Description of goal
The action guideline for the Fujitsu Group Environmental Policy that promotes the environmental management at Fujitsu aims to reduce environmental burden across all life
cycles of ICT products and solutions, and focuses on involving the entire supply chain to reduce environmental burden, including water-related impact. This goal isimportant for Fujitsu due to following two reasons. At first, this is based on the estimation that suppliers' environmental impact from water usage is about 10 times larger thanthat of Fujitsu's. Secondly the water-related risks of our suppliers that spread across the globe are diverse and range from drought, flooding and deteriorating quality.
It is crucial to roll out engagement activities that maintain communication with suppliers on our environmental impact reduction initiatives. The "Green Procurement
Standard" has been established to reduce the environmental burden during procurement on a companywide level, and Fujitsu requires all suppliers to conserve water
resources such as through reducing water usage. We require all our suppliers to work on conserving water resources, including reducing water usage. The top 80% of the
suppliers in terms of annual procurement value and suppliers involved in our core products, we conduct surveys on their environmental activities such as annual water
intake and water resource conservation (water intake reduction, water pollution prevention, etc.) and encourage proactive efforts as "key suppliers."
Baseline year

Progress
From FY 2019, in order to assess progress, the Company has used the "survey response rate of major suppliers (suppliers that account for the top 80% of annual
procurement and suppliers pertaining to the Company's mainstay products)" as an indicator and has set a target of "response rate of 90% or more" for each fiscal year. The
recovery rate in FY2021 was 99.7%, and the goal has been achieved.
In addition, from FY2019, we have been disclosing educational materials intended to promote water-related risk analysis for suppliers and are working towards improving
our water stewardship to enforce our initiatives on conserving water resources.
We will continue these efforts in fiscal 2022 and beyond.
