The Fujitsu Group Environmental Vision

In light of the escalating global commitment to achieving carbon neutrality, the Fujitsu Group has set clear targets: to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) to be ‘net-zero equivalent’ by FY2030, and to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (*1) across its entire value chain by FY2040.
In addition to reducing environmental impacts across its own operations and supply chain, Fujitsu is leveraging technology to help address the challenges faced by customers and society and is thus taking strong steps towards achieving a sustainable future.

(*1) Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions: Achieving a state where greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by at least 90% in the target year in comparison to the base year, and the residual emissions (of 10% or less) are neutralized by removing them permanently from the atmosphere through technologies such as Direct Air Capture (DAC) or by afforestation.

The Importance of Responding to Climate Change

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report “Global Warming of 1.5°C” articulated the need to limit warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. With social roles expanding and additional demands placed on companies to tackle climate change, in October 2021 the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) (*2) launched the world’s first Net-Zero Standard for companies to set net-zero strategies.
In order to resolve issues related to climate change, the Fujitsu Group decided to revise its previous commitment to "zero CO₂ emissions by 2050", pursuing instead a more ambitious vision that requires the Group to look beyond social trends and become the very embodiment of a leading AI company that delivers carbon neutrality.
The Fujitsu Group Environmental Vision comprises three pillars, namely, Value chain: Achieve net-zero emissions, Mitigation: Contribute to a carbon-neutral society, and Adaptation: Contribute to climate change adaptation measures. The Fujitsu Group will be quick to leverage advanced AI technologies to tackle its own net-zero strategies, and will make the resulting expertise available as Fujitsu Group solutions for customers and society. In so doing, the Group aims to leverage its own business activities to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

(*2) Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi): An initiative jointly established by the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and other organizations in 2015. It encourages companies to set GHG emission reduction targets consistent with science-based evidence to the level required by the Paris Agreement, validating targets that comply with criteria including indirect emissions not only within the company but also in the supply chain.

Concept: Three pillars of the Fujitsu Climate and Energy Vision

Value chain: Achieve Net-zero Emissions

Mitigation: Contribute to a Carbon-Neutral Society

Adaptation: Contribute to Climate Change Adaptation Measures

Achieving Net-zero Emissions in the Fujitsu Group Value Chain

Fujitsu obtained SBTi Net-Zero Standard validation in 2023, a standard for global climate change measures. The Group is making progress towards its ambitious targets of achieving net-zero emissions equivalent of GHG from the Group’s business activities by FY2030, and net-zero itself from the entire value chain by FY2040. To accelerate the move toward net-zero, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, the Group is expanding its introduction of renewable energy with additionality, among other initiatives.

Contributing to a Carbon-neutral Society

The Fujitsu Group contributes to achieving carbon neutrality across the society by creating ecosystems with customers in a variety of industries and business sectors. By integrating AI platforms and other leading-edge technologies into a framework that transcends businesses, industries, and regional boundaries, the Group will reduce GHG emissions. This will be achieved through, for example, optimizing the use of resources and energy across society as a whole.

Contributing to Climate Change Adaptation Measures

We will leverage AI and technologies such as digital twins to effectively reduce GHG emissions. These technologies will be used to develop offerings for building resilient social infrastructure, ensuring a stable supply of agricultural products, and mitigating food loss. Through these efforts, we aim to minimize the harm caused by climate change to society and our customers.
