Fujitsu has been involved in more stringent initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality in its business activities. In April 2021, the SBTi certified its GHG emissions reduction target as 1.5 °C -aligned. At the same time, Fujitsu raised its Scope 1 & 2 emissions reduction target for 2030 from a 33% reduction compared to 2013 to a 71.4% reduction.
Fujitsu said it will reduce emissions by introducing renewable energy in its business activities and value chain and use AI and other technology to optimise energy efficiency.
It stated: “By building such technologies into a framework that transcends business, industry, and regional boundaries, the Group will achieve optimal utilisation of energy throughout all systems in society.”
By 2025, the company also aims to build a circular economy business model by designing products that conserve resources and improve resource recycling rate.
