Environmental Operations Solutions
Combining the practical knowledge we have developed over the years in environmental activities with the very latest in IT capabilities, we provide Environmental Operations Solutions to support customer environmental management and environmental administration in a wide range of operational areas, such as environmental management systems, life cycle assessments and support for ecofriendly design, Green Procurement, monitoring to save energy and resources, waste management, recycling management and information disclosure.
Environmentally Conscious Solutions
Focusing on the benefits that IT offers in reducing environmental burdens, Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. has developed a method to quantitatively evaluate the benefits of adopting IT solutions. This method involves evaluating carbon dioxide emissions relating to various factors that impact the environment, such as consumption of materials or the movement of people, and thus shows the benefits in reducing environmental burdens after introducing an IT solution. IT solutions where the concomitant benefit in reduction of environmental burden is calculated to be 15% or greater (in terms of carbon dioxide) are certified as Environmentally Conscious Solutions.
We have begun full-scale use of this certification system from June 2004, and as of the end of April 2005, 28 of our solutions have been certified as Environmentally Conscious Solutions. During fiscal 2004, these Environmentally Conscious Solutions helped prevent 34,500t in carbon dioxide emissions.
