The Mie Plant began operating in October 1984 and is a core plant of Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited, which mass-produces products such as logic LSIs. The CPU, which is a heart of super computer "Kei", was manufactured in Mie plant.Based on the concept that “outstanding end-products consist of excellent ICs,” we are contributing to the society as a leading-edge factory that responds to the rapid technological innovations in the ubiquitous society through manufacturing new semiconductors.In addition, we are always striving to improve safety and quality through efforts such as establishing quality assurance systems based on ISO9000 series certification while pursuing becoming an "environmentally friendly plant" according to ISO14001.

Carry out activities for environmental and social contribution 6 times/year

6 times Achieved

Carry out three items of biodiversity education; monitoring of discharged water with killifishes, installation of green curtains

3 items implemented

Achieved

* PFC: Greenhouse gases other than CO2 as designated by the Fujitsu Group, including perfluorocarbons (PFC) such as CF4 and C2F6 as well as SF6 and NF3 are collectively referred to as PFC for convenience.

** PGME: One type of volatile organic compounds (VOC), it is volatile and enters the atmosphere in a gaseous state. It includes thinners.VOC are substances that cause photochemical smog, which can irritate people's eyes and cause sore throats.

Our production volume in 2011 increased relative to the initial plan, but we were still able to achieve all the environmental activity objectives that promote environmental load reduction. However, one of the materials that we were selling as a valuable product from our efforts to reduce waste generation has been unsellable for three consecutive years, which is an issue we will have to work on. We continuously aim to improve on the situation in 2012, resuming and stabilizing valued sales as a resource.

Objectives in 2012

Limit CO2 emissions to 179,014 tons or less

Limit the emissions of PFCs to 76,047 tons-GWP or less

Limit the emissions of 1-methoxy-2-propanol (PGME) to 7.046 tons or less

Limit the amount of waste to 7,620 tons or less.

Carry out six or more activities for environmental and social contribution per year.

Carry out monitoring of discharged water with killifishes (killifish breeding) and installation of green curtains

Objectives of activities in 2012The activity objectives regarding “further reduction in our own environmental load” and “promotion of environmental social contribution and biodiversity preservation” that the Mie Plant should satisfy have been set according to the Sixth Fujitsu Group Environment Action Plan starting from 2010.We are promoting activities particularly for “further reduction in our own environmental load” from the viewpoints of both cost cutting and environmental load reduction.

5. Environmental social contribution activity

Adopt program River and Sea Cleanup Campaign

(NOTE) In the Adopt Program, volunteers from citizen and business select a location from public spaces such as roads and parks managed by the city and perform cleanup and beautification activities.

Green curtains Education for elementary school studentsEnvironment presentation

We held 4 cleanup activities for the area surrounding the plant, as the “City Cleanup Campaign,” including the Adopt Program (NOTE) run by Kuwana City. Also, we continued to participate in the "River and Sea Cleanup Campaign,” which takes place every October, and family members of our employees were also invited to participate. A total of 242 people participated in these activities in 2011. We held "visiting environmental class" in which we visit a school to hold a class on the environment at a local elementary school. A total of 73 students in the 4th grade took the class to learn 3R with the theme "3R activities learned by disassembling a PC.”

Visiting environmental class

Green ProcessesGreen processes are activities for both reducing environmental loads and cutting costs through the comparison and investigation of the chemical and gas usage differences between the design and the actual operations in manufacturing processes. In 2011, we focused on linkage with cost reduction activities to improve the evaluation method and upgrade and expand measures.

- Main improvement measures: 1. Process reviews reduced the amounts of photoresist, exfoliating/ plating fluids, plating fluid, and material gas used.2. Extension of lifetime of parts and consumable goods related to manufacturing equipment

Reducing chemical substancesWe are operating a chemical substance registration system for inspecting and registering the safety aspects, fire hazard aspects, and impact on the environment of all chemical substances used at Mie Plant before the chemicals are obtained, and are promoting a correct understanding of the constituents of chemicals and gases and reducing the amounts of these consumed.Main measures to reduce amount used:

1. Reduce the amount of photoresist and surface processing agents used2. Reduce the amount of wire plating liquid used3. Reduce the amount of products containing chemical substances subject to PRTR and amount of organic solvents used4. Reduce the amount of cleaning gases such as NF3 used

In conjunction with National Environment Month, we stage environmental exhibitions and seminars in June every year as Environment Month events, with the aim of improving the environmental awareness of employees. We also educate employees annually about this plant’s work for the environment, health and safety.In 2011, we worked for green curtains expanding the area for further power saving measures. We also carried out afactory tour for local elementary school students to introduce the factory and held an environmental class.

8. Compliance with Environment-Related Rules and Regulations

9. Environmental Accounting

Periodic environmental analysis

Safety promotion liaisonmeetings with partner companies

In 2011, we started monitoring discharged water with "killifish" for biodiversity conservation. We bred killifishes harvested at a local barrage with discharged water and young fish were born. To reduce the environmental load, we reduced emissions to the air by maintaining the performance of the VOC abatement system and the PFC abatement system and carried out the construction to reduce the risk of leakage from buried water tanks. We are checking compliance with regulations with periodic environmental analysis following regulations. As a countermeasure against environmental safety risks, we reviewed environmental analyses in line with revisions of legal regulations, and held safety promotion liaison meetings with partner companies.

VOC abatement system

In Fiscal 2005, the Fujitsu Group acquired ISO14001 global integrated certification, the international standard for environmental management systems. Both domestic and foreign group companies have been working on environmental activities based on the samemanagement system.

Mie Plant has an annual internal audit to grasp and evaluate its status in environmental load reduction, environmental preservation, and compliance with ISO standards comprehensively. Based on these results, we effectively continue our environmental activities and strive to promote better environmental management.

We conduct ”Environmental Accounting” to understand the outcome values related to environmental protection and environmental load reduction activities and to evaluate the environmental investment effectiveness. In Fiscal 2011, the total cost was 910 million yen (30 million yen less than the previous year), and total outcome was 1.54 billion yen (100 million yen less than the previous year).

Compliance• We use check sheets stating legal compliance and application items to check our compliance status on a semiannual basis. We also

reconfirm the status when we perform internal audits on the basis of our environmental management system.We gather information day by day on law amendments and new regulation trends, to work for earlier responses.

• In 2011, no excess of control values or accidents, etc. were found in environmental analysis of discharged water or exhaust gas.• For the soil and other contamination reported to Mie Prefecture and Kuwana City in May 2008, we are continuing purification by pumping

out contaminated water, monitoring the surrounding environment, and reporting our results to the prefecture and the city. (December)We have confirmed that there are no other problems with regulations and requirements.
