Editorial Policy
The Fujitsu Microelectronics Group Environmental Report 2009 reports the company’s environmental philosophy, its approach and results in conjunction with the electronic devices and semiconductors it handles, based on the Fujitsu Group philosophy and directive, “FUJITSU Way.”We are also reporting on the Fujitsu Microelectronics Group’s activities as understandably as possible on the company website.
Reporting Period
This report covers activities in FY 2008 (from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009). However, a portion of the content includes activities both prior to and after April 1, 2009.
Organizations Covered in the Report
All 17 companies in the Fujitsu Microelectronics Group (including overseas companies).
L ifecycle is the Key Concept in Eco-Devices
Our device manufacturing business can impact the environment through greenhouse gases and waste produced by factories, examples of what our device manufacturing business can leave behind as impacts on the environment. To minimize these issues, we are making continual improvements based on the environmental action plan shared throughout the Fujitsu Group. In FY 2008, to curb emissions of gases with high global warming potential, we extended the application of PFC (Per� uorocarbon) gas removal equipment and successfully reduced greenhouse gases other than CO2 emissions by 22% from the preceding year. In addition to making improvements to reduce environmental impact from our group, we also strive to help customers reduce their environment impact, which we consider another important mission for us. In so doing, we � nd it necessary to develop measures such as alleviating the battery dependence of mobile devices that incorporate our products and improving the fuel e� ciency of automobiles. To make this possible, we believe improvements that encompass the entire product lifecycle are essential, including improvement in the manufacturing phase, energy-e� cient design in the design phase, green procurement in the materials procurement phase and reduced packing in the shipping phase. This environmental report includes the improvements Fujitsu Microelectronics Group has made across the whole lifecycle in FY 2008.

Manufacturing that Contributes to the Global Environment
When developing new LSIs, Fujitsu Microelectronics Group aims to reduce the environmental impact of the customer product that incorporates the LSI, and to reduce the environment impact of the � nal use of the product, thereby reducing the environmental impact on all of society. To realize these goals, Fujitsu Microelectronics Group utilizes the framework of “Green Product and Super Green Product Creation” to create eco-friendly products.
Green Product and Super Green Product Evaluation Framework
All products undergo a “Green Product Assessment” before development to evaluate factors such as energy e� ciency and chemical suitability. After making design improvements to bring the assessment score to 90 or higher, development begins. After development, a follow-up evaluation is conducted to verify that the original goals have been achieved. LSIs with energy e� ciency, 3R score and chemical suitability, etc. that are superior to other products on the market other Fujitsu Microelectronic Group products are certi� ed as “Super Green Products” and actively promoted to customers.
To provide environmentally e� cient products and services to our customers, we promote green procurement in the materials procurement and outsourced services involved in product development and design, manufacturing, distribution and sales while receiving assistance from our business partners.
Enhanced Environmental Activities in the Supply Chain
Through the procurement of outsourcing services involved in product development, design and manufacturing, our environmental activities aim at:
・ The promotion of an improved EMS (Environmental Management System) at our business partners.・ The promotion of the building of a CMS (Chemical Substances Management
System)
Our goal is to achieve and maintain 100% procurement from business partners with complete EMS and 100% CMS completion as our materials providers. EMS-complete business partners have a Level 1 or higher EMS rating (for material providers, Level 2 or higher is required), and CMS-complete business partners have received a CMS audit by Fujitsu Microelectronics Group and have a rating of Level B or higher. Furthermore, for business partners that are not shared with Fujitsu, we conduct an EMS level survey, request and encourage them to pursue a higher level of accreditation, and promote the signing of a “Green Procurement Agreement” demonstrating the completion of CMS.
In FY 2007, Fujitsu Group introduced the “Environmental E� ciency Factor” as an index to gauge the environmental performance of its products, which Fujitsu Microelectronics subsequently adopted for implementation.
Environmental E� ciency Factor Methodology
The Environmental E� ciency Factor is calculated with the ratio of “product value” divided by the “environmental impact.”

How Sales Workforce Can Contribute to the EnvironmentOur clients who develop mobile devices have a strong demand for low power consumption. The change to low power consumption not only contributes to the environment, but also allows the package to be more compact and extends continuous usage time. In sales, we work daily to contribute to the environment and consumer products by offering and having low-power products adopted. As an individual, I use a multi-outlet extension cord with a switch to reduce the required standby electricity.

Manufacturing that Contributes to the Global Environment
Representative Green Products
We consider the environment even in the distribution of our products. Semiconductors are packed and shipped in square-shaped trays or rolled onto tubes in tape-shaped containers. We are environmentally conscious about our shipping materials, reusing these trays and using plant-based resins in our tape. We also use specialized containers to reduce the use of cardboard boxes in our packaging.
Increase Rate of Tray Reuse
To increase our rate of tray reuse, we strive to collect shipped trays with the cooperation of a collection company. We also strive to increase their strength so the trays may be used over a long period of time. In 2008, we achieved a reuse rate of 50%.
Approach to Green Distribution
A cargo container
Meeting on chemical substance handling
● Packing materials and reducing CO2 in distribution
During shipping from our semiconductor factories to our distribution centers, we use reusable cargo containers instead of cardboard boxes. As a result of this reduction in cardboard box use and improvement of our loading ratio, we have been able to reduce CO2 in distribution.
Approach to Chemical Substances in Products
In addition to strictly following legal bans and regulations on chemical substances, Fujitsu Microelectronics Group takes a “precautionary principle” approach to manufacture and providesproducts free of harmful chemical substances by maintaining policies for handling chemical substances that may be hazardous.
As a member of the Fujitsu Group, Fujitsu Microelectronics Group de� nes legally regulated substances as “Fujitsu Group Designated Prohibited Substances” and only provides products that do not contain prohibited substances. We also de� ne substances that may be harmful as “Fujitsu Group Designated Controlled Substances” and control the amount of their inclusion.
Approach to legal regulations
In the divisions assuming product-related responsibilities such as the products, quality assurance, purchasing and environmental divisions, a CMS*1 has been put in place to ensure thorough chemical substances management in each process from design to shipping, working daily to provide products that are compliant with various regulations including Europe’s RoHS*2, China’s RoHS*3 and REACH*4. In the semiconductor manufacturing process, we do use chemicals containing PFOS*5, which can have negative e� ects on ecosystems. Their controlled use in semiconductors is deemed acceptable in international and domestic regulations such as the POPs treaty*6 and the Act on the Evaluation of Chemical Substances and Regulation of Their Manufacture.*7 The Fujitsu Microelectronics Group thoroughly manages the use of chemicals containing PFOS while seeking a transition to safer chemicals.

The installation of various fail-safe functions*3 is becoming the industry standard in the white home appliance these days. One of these fail-safe functions is low-voltage detection interrupt/reset. Previously low-voltage detection devices and the microcontroller needed to be installed individually. But with the MB91490 series, the function is included in the microcontroller, reducing the number of parts and the footprint of the board. The MB91490 series is positioned as a less-pin version of the MB91470/480 series while maintaining the same 80MHz CPU function, meaning small installation area and the fast, real-time information processing compared to prior products. I hope to continue to develop microcontrollers that are both eco-friendly and valuable when incorporated into customers’ products and systems.

Our “bottom detection comparator system” constantly compares the feedback voltage from the output and the reference voltage by a high-speed comparator, maintaining a fi xed output voltage by fi xing the ON period and controlling the OFF period. As a result, during output voltage changes resulting from rapid load changes, the operating frequency is immediately adjusted to ensure constant stabilization of the output voltage frequency. Use of this system results in superior power conversion effi ciency and voltage stability compared to previous voltage/current control systems. As a result, the system is supplied with stable current, and the number of smoothing output capacitors is greatly reduced, contributing to overall parts cost reduction for the set.

In converting to an FBGA package to reduce the part mounting area, problems with increasing thermal resistance were encountered. To guarantee proper operation at 95ºC, the issue became how to reduce the energy consumption suffi ciently. By using the 90nm process to reduce internal logic voltage, reducing the speed of the SmartCODEC operation clock and reducing the energy consumption of the analog circuits, we were able to reduce energy consumption compared with previous products by 46%. Use of this product can reduce the overall number of system parts and the number of wire harnesses, can improve mileage through the lightening of the vehicle and can reduce CO2, contributing to the environment.

The issue was how to achieve a powerful video input/output function and high-end image processing IC in a single chip. What’s more, it needed to fi t in the same size package as before and to guarantee function at temperatures of 85ºC when used in automobiles. In the course of development, we decided to stop each and every one of the clocks on individual modules when not in use, reduced energy consumption, employed a new package to improve the thermal resistance, conducted heat analysis while simulating as closely as possible the conditions of use by the customer, and fi t the LSIs into the same package as used previously. Use of this product can reduce the total number of system parts, achieve improved mileage by lightening the system, and support eco-drive through the display of mileage and driving conditions.

With this product, we were the fi rst in the industry to realize the 125°C operation in memory with a DDR interface. In development, we struggled with the fact that the unique variation became more pronounced as the temperature range widened, requiring very precise design. Furthermore, since we had no experience in developing memory chips with the 125°C operation, a complete review of the environment and methods for testing, property evaluation and reliability evaluation was required. The fact that we solved these technological challenges and were able to meet the development schedule was very encouraging for the entire team. We believe products with superior features such as low power consumption contribute to the environment. We plan to continue to develop FCRAM products that benefi t both the end product for the customer and the environment.

Examples of Environmental Contributions through LSI
Applying the low-power design flow RDF4.0 to microcontrollers
As the demand for further low-power consumption in LSIs becomes more and more intense, the leak current of the transistor while the device is idle is increasing, a result of resulting from the miniaturization process. In products where battery life is an issue such as mobile devices, this problem cannot be ignored. Fujitsu Microelectronics Group uses low-power design � ow RDF4.0 to signi� cantly reduce standby current in our microcontroller products.
We have dramatically facilitated the logic and physical design of multiple power supply design and power gating by supporting the industry-standard power supply description format, "CPF" ahead of others in the industry. Also, in our power-gating technology, we have developed a proprietary power-supply switch control circuit and switch-parameter-adjustment method to reduce noise generated when the power supply shuto� switch is on. Through this technology, power-gating products can be operated more stably. This technology also applies to microcontroller design, making reduced low power consumption and reduced power consumption especially during standby achievable without large delays in the design period.*1

In battery-driven mobile devices, low-power design in intermittent operation (the autonomous repeating of communication activity and static activity), a challenge unique to this fi eld, was an important issue. This product uses low-power technology including 65nm generation CMOS low-energy process technology and power gating in the baseband LSIs. It also combines our fi rm’s RF-LSI and power LSI. By optimizing design through baseband internal processor software that includes energy-reduction control, we have achieved a low-energy chipset. We plan to continue to pursue energy-reducing technology in both hardware and software and to contribute to the extended use of mobile devices.

Manufacturing that Contributes to the Global Environment
Development of green exposure technology that does not use photo mask
In the photolithography technology used in semiconductor manufacturing, a photo mask composed of materials such as fused silica wafer or chromium is required for the pattern forming. The light source used in developing is Excimer Laser light such as KrF or ArF. Our EB (“electron beam”) exposure technology uses an electron beam as the exposure light source, allowing us to create a pattern from the digital data directly on the wafer without using a mask. In LSI manufacturing, particularly in the development phase, some masks are not used in manufacturing, but are used only in development such as for design mistakes, spec changes, and defects during production. While we already encouraged the reuse of these masks through recycling, by changing to EB exposure for the photolithography used in the development process, we have reduced the number of masks used in production.
Green exposure technology system
With the re� nement of photo mask technology from 90nm to 65nm to 45nm, production gas become more di� cult, and longer delivery periods and increasing prices become an issue. Against this backdrop, there is a demand for reduced turn-around time and cost through the use of maskless exposure technology, particularly in the product development stage of cutting-edge technology. In FY 2008, we reduced our use of masks in the interconnection layers for 90nm/65nm product prototypes using EB exposure for 90nm/65nm product prototypes, meeting our customers’ needs while reducing
our environmental impact by reducing resources. In FY 2009, EB exposure was also applied to the wiring and bulk layer,and we further reduced our impact on the global environment. We aim to double the number of reduced masks from 102 in FY 2008 to 214 in FY 2009.
Example2
Photomask: formed from silica or chromium
In EB exposure no mask is needed. This is because the circuit pattern is etched directly with an electronic beam, making control possible through the applied voltage of the electrode by modifying the pattern or orientation directly from the digital data.
e-Shuttle, Inc.Shuttle Business Div.
Takashi Maruyama
Enlarged EB developmentIncreased throughput is a particularly important mission. We are the only company in the world really engaged in product development using EB exposure, which makes our work worthwhile. The mask cost for 65nm reaches into hundreds of millions of yen. Making these unnecessary would provide a low-cost development environment for customers while reducing the number of masks made from formed silica and chromium. We plan on continuing to improve our etching performance through technological development, expand our market, and use academic conferences and lectures to stimulate the industry and expand green EB exposure technology in the world.

Use of � uxless re� ow equipments in 300mm wafers to reduce CO2 emissions by 70%
In equipment used in the bump-forming process in semiconductor manufacturing, we adopted a “� uxless re� ow system.” The bump-forming process removes the oxide � lm on solder bump electrodes and forms a bump pattern. In our equipment, we do not use “� ux,” which makes heavy use of solvents. Our � uxless re� ow systems are currently being used for mass production of 300mm wafers at our Mie Plant. By not using � ux, the previous process of coating, drying and washing becomes unnecessary; the amount of energy input is greatly reduced; and CO2 emissions in the bump-forming process are reduced by 70%.
Reducing CO2 by eliminating processing steps(Shortening the process from 8 to 4.5 hours)
In the former bump-forming process, as shown in the diagram, the following processing steps were required: � ux coating, � ux drying, re� ow processing, and solvent cleaning. However, with our “� uxless re� ow” in which no � ux is applied, the process is complete with only re� ow processing, reducing both waste and the impact on the environment. The bump- forming process for 50 wafers, which used to take from 8-10 hours, has been reduced by around half to 4.5 hours, reducing CO2 emissions and improving productivity improvement through reduced resources and energy.
CO2 reduction through improved processing methods (reducing environmental impact by not using cleaning agents)
The former re� ow process using � ux required that the applied � ux be cleaned with organic solvents. Furthermore, after cleaning when these solvents were incinerated as waste materials, a large amount of CO2 was released. The � uxless re� ow system includes only the re� ow process that allows the factory to be neutralized with formic acid, realizing both solder bump forming and a large reduction in CO2 emissions.
Being environmentally conscious through the � uxless re� ow process
With the change to the � uxless re� ow process, we have eliminated processing steps and improved our processing method, successfully reducing CO2 emissions in the bump- forming process by approximately 70%.

Introduction of this technology eliminated incineration of the organic cleaning agents used during fl ux cleaning and reduced resources and energy by shortening the bump-forming process, reducing CO2 emissions by 70%. We are also promoting lead-free application and embossing tape in our packaging made from plant-based plastic that does not contain petroleum products. We plan to continue to reduce our environmental impact and provide eco-friendly products.

Fujitsu Microelectronics Group works to reduce the greenhouse gases emitted in the business activities at our factories and o� ces. We are also making e� orts to prevent global warming in all areas of our business activities while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by our customers and society as a whole through the development of low-power IC products (see P.9).
Reduce emissions of CO2 from energy consumption
■ Basic philosophyFujitsu Microelectronics Group is working to reduce emissions of CO2 from energy consumption at our factories and o� ces by Fujitsu Group’s 5th Environmental Action Plan.■ FY 2008 resultsOur group implemented the following measures in FY 2008:
● Energy-saving measures centered on our machinery for power generation (Installation of energy-saving facilities, free cooling, etc.)
● Installation of co-generation conversion facilities ● Improved e� ciency through manufacturing process review ● Appropriate o� ce temperature settings, energy saving with
lighting and o� ce equipmentAs a result of these e� orts, total CO2 emissions from energy consumption in FY 2008 was 529 thousand tons. This amounted to a 10% reduction from the previous � scal year.
In the 5th Environmental Action Plan created by the Fujitsu Group, we made it our goal that all business locations reach at least the 2-star level in the green factory or green o� ce system by the end of FY 2009. Fujitsu Microelectronics Group is utilizing this system not only in our factories, but in our o� ces as well. By comprehensively evaluating the level of environmental friendliness and the independent e� orts of our business locations, we are working to continually improve environmental friendliness.
Environmental IC packages
In the design of IC packages, use of packaging technology that introduces cutting-edge technology reduced the total number of parts and lowered the environmental impact. We also o� er a wide package lineup, providing the optimal package for our customers’ needs. Furthermore, we provide information on the chemical substances our products contain.
High-density packaging through leading technology and comprehensive design, packages that achieve reduced component materials
Multiple IC chips are stacked and combined in one package. The structure (SiP*, PoP*) also incorporates peripheral parts, achieving ultra-high-density packaging. A large reduction in materials is also possible. Furthermore, by optimizing the structure, thermal dissipation is improved, and the heat sink that used to be required can be eliminated, enabling it to be embedded inside the package (TEQFP, TEBGA) or enabling the same-size IC chip to be loaded directly in a chip size package (WL-CSP), reducing the environmental impact in various ways.* SiP: System in package* PoP: Package on package.

As the regulatory and market demands on the chemical substances included in our products increase, I believe that developing technology to reduce the impact on the environment and providing information related to the environment is our corporate responsibility. Responses based on REACH have become the norm of late, and an effi cient and precise response is important. We are always conscious of reducing our environmental burden during package development.

Every day through trial and error we aim to optimize operations of the super-clean-room climate-control equipment at the Fujitsu Microelectronics Aizu-Wakamatsu plant to minimize the effect on products and reduce energy consumption as much as possible. We also try to conserve energy in our everyday lives, never forgetting to unplug.
We are working to reduce the materials used, and chemicals and waste emitted, by our business processes and to minimize manufacturing costs.
Chemical substances management
■ Basic philosophyAs a member of the Fujitsu Group, based on the chemical substance management guidelines of “preventing environmental risks from the use of hazardous chemical substances that can lead to pollution of the natural environment and health hazards,” we manage the use of chemical substances at our business locations and work to reduce and appropriately manage emissions.■ FY 2008 resultsIn according with the 5th Environmental Action Plan of the Fujitsu Group, our group is working to reduce atmospheric emissions of VOC (volatile organic compounds) at our business locations. In FY 2008, group-wide VOC atmospheric emissions totaled 150 tons. This was a 4% increase from the previous � scal year, but in FY 2009 we plan to work to reduce emissions by increasing the e� ciency of organic solvent collection equipment and promoting the thorough and appropriate management of VOC substances.
Reducing the amount of waste generated
■ Basic philosophyAs a member of the Fujitsu Group, based on the basic guidelines of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to create a recycling-based society, we are promoting the separation of waste by each employee to take an even more elevated approach to the 3Rs.■ FY 2008 resultsIn keeping with the 5th Environmental Action Plan of the Fujitsu Group, our group is working to reduce the waste generated by our business locations. In FY 2008, group-wide waste generation totaled 11,000 tons. This was a 22% decrease from the previous � scal year. This was due to not only to converting things like waste plastic and waste acid into valuable resources, but also to signi� cant market changes.
Reduction of greenhouse gases other than CO2
■ Basic philosophyFujitsu Microelectronics Group follows Fujitsu Group’s 5th Environmental Action Plan and action plans established independently by the semiconductor industry for the reduction of greenhouse gases such as PFCs, HFCs and SF6 in factories.■ FY 2008 resultsIn FY 2008, with assistance from NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, an independent administrative agency in Japan), we set up PFC gas removal systems at new and existing manufacturing lines and converted to gases with lower global warming potential. As a result of these e� orts, our group-wide emissions in FY 2008 fell to 428,000 tons after conversion using the global warming potential index (GWP). This represented a 22% reduction from the previous � scal year.
C hemical and Waste Reduction Measures
Approach to the Environment
E nvironmental Risk Management
Comprehensive risk response
Our group has always identi� ed natural risks (e.g., earthquakes, typhoons) and latent risks such as environment pollution caused by aging plant buildings and environmental facilities, assigned priorities and implemented scheduled improvements. In FY 2008, we also began to evaluate these latent risks from the standpoint of “business continuity.” We plan to continue our activities to decrease risk.
Response to soil and groundwater pollution issues
Our group monitors the groundwater on the grounds of our facilities based on the “soil and groundwater survey, response and disclosure regulations” set forth by the Fujitsu Group. We will continue our monitoring, cleanup and response based on the situation at the business location in the event pollution has been veri� ed, and coordinate with public administration to disclose information.
Soil and groundwater surveys and response
As the result of an independent survey at the Mie Plant, � uoride contamination in the groundwater and lead contamination in the soil were discovered and reported to public administration. As this pollution was discovered in the center of the plant grounds, there were no problems with the groundwater at the border line of the lot. The groundwater pollution was discovered in the standing water of a detection hole (a hole several meters deep dug near the plant to detect leaks in underground holding tanks and pipes) at the plant. However, a comprehensive survey of the history of the land use and chemical substances, determined that the soil pollution was caused naturally. In this case, we reported the pollution situation and our response to the neighboring residents and relevant administration. Furthermore, with the closing of the Fujitsu Integrated Microtechnology Ltd. Monden Plant, as a result of a survey based on the Article 3 of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act, it was determined that there was no soil pollution. This result was reported to the relevant administration.
Managing PCB waste
For equipment containing PCBs (see chart below) based on the Law Concerning Special Measures Against PCB Waste (PCB Law), each plant reports the quantity to the relevant administration and carefully stores the waste. Furthermore, for highly concentrated PCB waste whose processing method is stipulated by the PCB Law, we have already completed early registration with the PCB waste processing company Japan Environmental Safety Corporation. The waste will be processed one by one based on the plan.

I am in charge of the process control for the back-end of the semiconductor manufacturing at our plant. At the factory, to contribute to energy saving and reduce costs, the rule is to turn off power in idle equipment and turn off ancillary equipment on our microscope when not in use. We also reduce waste by distributing only a fi xed number of masks and checking for air leaks, preventing wasted resources and costs. Also, we work daily to actively do what we can to “prevent global warming” and “go easy on our wallets” by, for example, using a broom whenever possible to avoid using a vacuum cleaner, and using rainwater to water fl owers.
Environmental education activities
Fujitsu VLSI Limited and Fujitsu Microelectronics Akiruno Technology Center visit schools to give environmental lessons to children. At elementary schools, children take apart computers to learn about the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and deepen their understanding of the environment.
E xternal Awards and Environmental Awareness

ISO14001 certi� cation acquisition and environmental audits
At the end of FY 2004, Fujitsu Group acquired the international EMS standard ISO14001 for its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, and was conducting environmental activities based on the management system at a total of 97 Fujitsu and domestic group companies and 11 overseas group companies acquired the global uni� cation certi� cation in FY 2005. Furthermore, to ensure the objectivity and independence of internal audits at the Fujitsu Group, a Management Audit Division that belongs to neither reporting line took the central role in gathering auditors from Fujitsu and Group companies to conduct internal audits. Our group implemented internal audits at our domestic manufacturing and o� ce locations and overseas sales locations in FY 2008, identifying 12 minor nonconformances and making 33 observations, all of which were corrected by April 2009.
Fujitsu Microelectronics Group participates in the comprehensive environmental activities of the Fujitsu Group, and all of its domestic group companies and many of its overseas groups companies have received ISO14001 certi� cation. We promote environmental management through the operation of the environmental management systems, e� orts toward continual improvement, environmental audits and environmental education.
Environmental management system
In order to respond quickly to executive decisions, Fujitsu Group’s environmental management system (EMS) combines line activities to promote environmental conservation activities in line with the characteristics of each business based on the organization of each business, and site activities for themes that are shared by each factory and o� ce. Our � rm and our group companies conduct similar activities
Approach to the Environment
Environmental awareness activities
To increase the environmental awareness of each employee of Fujitsu Microelectronics Group, we conduct various environmental education and environmental awareness activities. In addition, we also participate in the Fujitsu Group-wide education menu such as “environmental e-learning” and “waste management representative seminars” given by external lecturers. Furthermore, group companies also o� er independent environmental education. In our environmental month, we conduct workshops through video, to help learn about everyday environmental activities such as container recycling, and to heighten environmental awareness. We also conduct tours of environmental facilities, small environmental exhibits and environmental seminars such as “The Current State and Function of the Forests, What We Can Do,” given by external lecturers.
Environmental Management System
Based on the frame-work of the Fujitsu Group environmental management system founded on ISO14001, we are working to improve the environmental impact unique to the semiconductor industry and improve the environmental characteristics of the semiconductor products we provide to our customers.

Approach to the Environment Fujitsu Microelectronics Group Corporate Pro� le
B usiness Activities and Environmental Impact (Material Balance)
Fujitsu Microelectronics Group quantitatively measures input and output in order to reduce the overall environmental impact generated at each stage of production. The promotion of Group-wide environmental management and environmentally friendly business activities is crucial to achieving this goal. It enables the Group to take a planned approach to the reduction of environmental impact related to materials procurement and the use of energy, water resources and chemical substances. Based on our environmental management system, through the entire lifecycle from product development and design to the collection and recycling/reuse of packing materials, we work to reduce our environmental impact while e� ectively using limited resources. And, by providing environmental semiconductors and electronic devices, we work to reduce the environmental impact of our customers’ product.
E nvironmental Accounting
Our group calculates the cost and economic bene� ts of our environmental activities in our business based on Fujitsu Group’s “Environmental Accounting Guidelines,” which implements environmental accounting that evaluates the e� ects of environmental investments. Through environmental accounting, the results of the evaluation are re� ected in group environmental management. Long-term, continual environmental policies are pursued, environmental investment made more e� cient and environmental conservation activities stimulated.
FY 2008 total results
As shown in the chart, group environmental accounting in FY 2008 resulted in capital expenditures of 259 million yen, costs of 3,689 million yen and economic bene� ts of 4,707 million yen.■ Amount of investmentIn FY 2008, investment focused on pollution prevention measures and global-warming-prevention measures (e.g., the installation of PFC removal systems).■ CostsWe are continuing to take a planned approach to making improvements in energy conservation and reduced waste measures, focused on air and water pollution costs (e.g., environmental analysis fees). Pollution prevention, environmental conservation and resource circulation cost are all part of the total cost because we use chemical substances, and processing the waste generated during and after the use of the chemical substances required for semiconductor manufacturing. However, by analyzing results of the environmental accounting totals, we are making e� cient environmental investments and reducing our environmental impact.
Note: Figures may not add to total due to rounding.
