Green procurement

We are implementing green procurement alongside our business partners, to provide customers with products and services that have light environmental footprints.

Procurement activities based on the Fujitsu Green Procurement Direction

The Fujitsu Group summarized its requirements for business partners regarding the purchase of green parts, materials, and products in the "Fujitsu Group Green Procurement Direction." To promote the adoption of these standards among its business partners, the Fujitsu Group publishes them in multiple languages (in three languages) and strives to communicate with business partners through various means, including explanatory sessions and individual meetings, as needed.
Through such activities, the Group implements green procurement activities in conjunction with its partners in Japan and overseas and promotes procurement from business partners that fulfill the green procurement requirements (see below).
Using external evaluation tools such as EcoVadis and surveys , we conduct annual monitoring of our business partners' statuses with regard to environmental management systems, CO₂ emission reduction, biodiversity preservation, and water resource preservation activities, and ask them to take appropriate measures. When making requests, we provide them with various kinds of information—such as guidance on activities to reduce CO₂ emissions, explanatory documents related to water risk, and the water risk information tool AQUEDUCT—which have been useful for our business partners.

Establishment of Environmental Management System

We request our business partners to establish environmental management systems (EMS) (*2) as a base for ensuring that they independently and continuously improve their environmental-preservation activities. In general, we prefer them to have third party-certified EMS. If this is difficult, we ask them to build an EMS that incorporates a PDCA cycle suited to their circumstances.

CO₂ emission reduction initiatives

The Fujitsu Group also asks our business partners to work toward CO₂ emission reduction in hopes of addressing climate change.
Specifically, we ask them to clearly express the intentions of their initiatives and request that they make efforts to achieve the objectives they set. We also ask them to collaborate with external organizations, where possible, and encourage their own suppliers to make similar efforts, in order to expand the initiatives outside their respective businesses. Our Supply Chain Business Continuity Survey gives us a clear picture of how business partners are responding to a variety of climate-change risks, including tsunamis, floods, and torrential rains.
Moreover, we are asking our major suppliers to establish CO₂ reduction targets based on the international standard of Science Based Targets (SBT) as we strive to further mitigate global warming.
Since 2025, we have been collaborating with 45 suppliers, both in Japan and overseas, to share product-level CO₂ emissions data (carbon footprints). This initiative leverages Fujitsu’s Sustainability Value Accelerator - Fujitsu Track and Trust to calculate and exchange Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data in accordance with both international and domestic standards.

Water resource conservation initiatives

As populations grow rapidly and water sources become progressively more contaminated, the increased need for water around the world, as well as water resource scarcity, has become an international challenge. Water resource conservation initiatives are necessary, even in business activities. The Fujitsu Group asks its business partners to investigate and understand the water risks associated with their own companies, and engage in water resource conservation initiatives, such as preventing water pollution and reducing water use.

Acquiring and managing information on chemical substances contained in products

Countries around the world are establishing legal regulations as to the chemical substances contained in products, for instance the RoHS directive (*3) and the REACH regulation (*4), with an increasing range of chemical substances, products and applications subject to these regulations.
The Fujitsu Group, using chemSHERPA (*5) as its standard format, investigates and acquires information on the chemical substances contained in our products. We also share this information within the Group, and have a system in place to respond quickly to revisions to laws and regulations and the enactment of new regulations.

Establishing a Chemical substance Management System (CMS) for product substances

In addition to obtaining information on chemical substances contained in our business partners’ products, the Fujitsu Group also asks these partners to establish a Chemical substances Management System (CMS) based on the industry-standard JAMP (*6) guidelines for the management of such chemical substances. Doing so enables the Group to comply even more thoroughly with laws and regulations related to the chemical substances contained in our products.
The Group also carries out CMS audits in order to confirm appropriate establishment and operation of such CMS. More specifically, Fujitsu Group's auditors implement on-site evaluation of the management status of the chemical substances contained in our business partners’ products. If there are any inadequacies, auditors make requests for corrections and provide support for their enactment. Even after the establishment of CMS, we maintain awareness of its operation status through periodic audits.
