On February 20, Fujitsu Computer Systems announced that IDG’s Computerworld, the “Voice of IT Management,” had selected Fujitsu as one of the top Green-IT Companies for 2008. This honor is part of the IT media outlet’s very first Top Green-IT Companies feature, which was published in the February 18 issue of Computerworld and online at www.computerworld.com. Fujitsu was selected based on its approach to meeting environmental challenges. 

The Fujitsu Environmental Program develops employee, facility, and manufacturing-based environmental programs. In August of 2007, for example, the Fujitsu campus in Sunnyvale, Calif. installed a hydrogen fuel cell to significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, making Fujitsu the first Silicon Valley-based IT company to install its own hydrogen power plant. Since 1996, Fujitsu has published regular reports detailing the programs and results of its environmental protection activities. Fujitsu has made the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index eight years in a row, and the FTSE4Good Index Series five years in a row. By the end of fiscal 2009, all Fujitsu business units will increase the number of Super Green Products (those with the most advanced environmental-friendly characteristics) by at least 20 percent.

“Fujitsu has a deep commitment to environmental responsibility, and we are proud of the leadership we’ve shown over the years, from reducing our carbon footprint, to eliminating lead and other harmful wastes from our supply chain and products, to broad recycling and reuse programs,” said Richard McCormack, senior vice president of marketing for Fujitsu Computer Systems. “We welcome being named among the top green IT-companies by Computerworld and we will continue to invest in innovation and programs that are both good for the environment and smart for our business.”
