SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/09/09 -- Fujitsu (http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com) today announced in North America that it is expanding its green IT initiative, Green Policy Innovation, with the aim of achieving a cumulative reduction in worldwide CO2 emissions of more than 15 million tons over the four-year period from fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2012. The global expansion of Green Policy Innovation will assist in reducing the environmental impact of Fujitsu, and marks a significant step in the realization of the Fujitsu Group's medium-term environmental vision, Green Policy 2020, to support the creation of a prosperous, low-carbon society.

Background

• The international debate regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has been intensifying prior to the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15). At the most recent Group of Eight Summit, world leaders agreed on a shared international goal of halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and to achieve this goal it is estimated that emissions must be capped by 2020 at the latest. The rapid global adoption of energy-saving products and services and the introduction of other advanced environmental technologies in both developed and developing nations are seen as essential to meeting these goals. As a global IT company, Fujitsu believes it has an important role to play in reducing the environmental footprint of its energy-efficient IT solutions, equipment and data centers.
• In December 2007, Fujitsu launched its Green Policy Innovation program as a way to assist in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By developing energy-efficient IT and introducing green IT solutions throughout society, the Green Policy Innovation program initially aimed to reduce CO2 emissions by more than a cumulative 7 million tons in Japan over the fiscal 2007-2010 four-year period. In the first two years of the program, through fiscal 2008, Fujitsu achieved a reduction of approximately 2.23 million tons of CO2.
• In recent years, Fujitsu has accelerated its green IT initiatives in various regions outside Japan by combining the strengths of its multiple worldwide operations and leveraging their technological expertise and environmental program experience. As part of this expansion, Fujitsu has created new global targets for the Green Policy Innovation program, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide by more than a cumulative 15 million tons over the fiscal 2009-2012 four-year period. The global expansion of the program will help clients around the world reduce their environmental footprint while serving as a pillar of the company's medium-term environmental vision, Green Policy 2020.

Areas where Fujitsu is strengthening its commitment to the global environment
Fujitsu Group companies around the world have considerable expertise in developing and deploying green IT solutions. To meet the new global targets for Green Policy Innovation, Fujitsu is striving to reinforce this expertise and enhance knowledge sharing among Group companies.

• Energy-efficient IT infrastructure employing cutting-edge technology
  Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. developed the world's first gallium-nitride high electron-mobility transistors (HEMT) that can minimize power loss in power supplies. This is just one of many green IT breakthroughs from Fujitsu, which is dedicated to supporting the development of energy-efficient IT equipment. Fujitsu middleware products complement Fujitsu hardware by visualizing energy-consumption patterns and providing other optimization and virtualization functions that increase the energy efficiency of IT systems.
• Outsourcing services delivered from data centers employing the most advanced green IT
  Fujitsu is enhancing the sustainable design of its data centers in every region of the world.
  
  • In the UK, Fujitsu data centers have begun trial implementation of the latest energy-consumption simulation technology designed to optimize facility and IT equipment operation.

  • In Japan, the most advanced data centers employ spot air-conditioning systems, thermofluid simulation, multipoint temperature monitoring using optical fibers, and a variety of other technologies. One of the newest technologies to be introduced is a large-scale, fine-grained environmental sensing system comprised of compact, energy-efficient temperature and air flow sensors linked through a proprietary ad-hoc networking technology.
  • Fujitsu will continually upgrade the environmental technology in its global data centers to ensure its outsourcing services contribute to lowering the environmental footprint of its facilities and clients.
• Environmental consulting services to improve clients' environmental management
  Fujitsu Group companies in Japan, Australia and other countries provide consulting services to enhance clients' environmental management. Leading businesses rely on these services to improve their environmental performance. Fujitsu will leverage its global expertise in this area to expand consulting services that reduce a client's environmental impact.
