Towards Net-Zero Value Chains
From Rule-Making to Real-World Solutions
Fujitsu is committed to achieving net-zero CO2 emissions (Scope 3) across its entire value chain by 2040.
To achieve this decarbonization goal, Fujitsu participates in rule-making discussions with relevant organizations to shape globally standardized product carbon footprint (PCF) calculation methodology and data exchange, and also implements these methodologies internally, using its own real-world data.
Furthermore, Fujitsu, under its Fujitsu Uvance business model focused on addressing societal challenges, will provide the know-how gained through data linkage and methodology standardization as ESG management platform services and digital supply chain services.
Driving Global Standards
Achieving net-zero CO2 emissions across the entire value chain requires addressing key challenges: establishing methodologies to visualize raw material CO2 reduction efforts, creating rules for data exchange between companies, and implementing these solutions in the real world.
Fujitsu is involved in the rule-making process around PCF calculation and data exchange, as a member of the Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT), launched by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)(*1).
In September 2023, Fujitsu successfully visualized CO2 emissions across its entire supply chain by participating in the PACT Implementation Program, the world's first social implementation program enabling business-to-business data integration for PCF information.

Proof in Practice: Fujitsu's Real-Data Validation of its ESG Platform
In fiscal 2024, Fujitsu launched a decarbonization initiative with global suppliers, leveraging product-level data exchange on CO2 emissions. This initiative builds upon Fujitsu's experience and insights as a core member in shaping PCF calculation and data exchange rules across value chains both in Japan and internationally.
The initiative leverages Fujitsu's ESG Management Platform, which is designed to support both the latest version of the global standard WBCSD/PACT framework and Japan's Green x Digital Consortium framework powered by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).This enables PCF calculation and CO2 emissions data exchange using real-world data in alignment with global standards.
By linking the CO2 emissions of suppliers from upstream in the supply chain, the platform visualizes the CO2 emission reduction efforts across the entire supply chain, demonstrating their value. This visibility then enables the creation of CO2 emission reduction scenarios for decarbonization and simulations of the effectiveness of measures.
Furthermore, by internally implementing its own offerings to achieve its Scope 3 reduction goals, Fujitsu gains practical insights into operational challenges and their solutions. This valuable knowledge, gained through our own implementation, is then shared with global suppliers and organizations like the WBCSD, and ultimately delivered to customers as added value.
Through this initiative, Fujitsu aims to strengthen supplier engagement and build decarbonization mechanisms within our customers' industries. While one company's efforts may seem like a small step towards global decarbonization goals, at NY Climate Week 2023, we directly communicated the significance and challenges of Japanese companies' efforts to leaders at GHG Protocol and ISSB. We also actively propose policy recommendations regarding how to best support domestic industries. Fujitsu is committed to sharing its knowledge widely and realizing Sustainability Transformation together with those who share our vision.
