MI Summaries

Full article: Fujitsu Services builds green data centre on brownfield site (24-Aug-07)

Fujitsu Services has announced that it will be investing £44 million to turn an old warehouse in Stevenage into an eco-friendly data centre. The green technology that will be incorporated into the design, such as an intelligent cooling system and variable-speed fans will allow for a saving equivalent of 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. The fact that the data centre is being built on a brownfield site further minimises the environmental impact.

Full article: Fujitsu to invest 44m in green data centre (6-Sep-07)

Press release about Fujitsu Services' data centre in Stevenage (not so near London, really).

Fujitsu: Corporate Social Responsibility

At last, one of the few Fujitsu environmental papers that was probably written in English from the outset. Refers to Fujitsu Services, so probably UK-focussed. Not an exciting read, but covers most of the necessary bases.

Fujitsu: Environmental Care Fujitsu Siemens

A very comprehensive list of environmental activities, but remember that this is a part-German firm, so has more experience than many firms of strict green rules. NB This article is about Fujitsu Siemens, not Fujitsu Services.

Fujitsu Group Article: Going Green Saving the Environment

A somewhat Japanese-centric view of Fujitsu's environmental efforts. Mentions for Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, but not for Europe, Africa or the Americas. Parts of Fujitsu have obtained ISO 14001 certification.

Fujitsu Group: Environmental Policy

This summary of the Japanese parent company's environmental policy looks pretty comprehensive in its aims, though it is short. The 3R approach ('reduce, reuse, recycle') is mentioned, as is the reduction of the risks of harmful chemical substances.

Fujitsu Group: Green Policy 21

A (slightly) mysterious document in which the word green is repeatedly interminably. It isn't at all clear why it's called Green Policy 21.

Fujitsu Group: Productive Activity that considers the Environment

Another Fujitsu document that smells as if it's been translated from Japanese. Focusses on the reduction of waste, chemical pollutants and the totla elimination of ozone-depleting substances.

Fujitsu Group: Global Warming Countermeasures

Fujitsu lists its commitments and targets regarding the emissions of CO₂ and other greenhouse gases.

Fujitsu Group: Environmental Solutions

Looks like part of a sales flyer describing Fujitsu's Environmental Operations Solutions for potential customers.
