Fujitsu, the ICT-based business solutions provider, is one of the
vendors driving initiatives to reduce Greenhouse Gases (GHG) of
ICT, according to a report by research firm Gartner and WWF. The
new report titled ‘Low-Carbon and Environmental Leadership in
the ICT Industry by Gartner and WWF, 2010,’ provides
comprehensive rankings for ICT vendors in five categories, based on
extensive research. Fujitsu is the leader in two of the five
categories: ‘Transformation of IT’ and ‘Internal
Environmental Performance.’
The study examines how 19 participating technology and service
providers are responding to customer needs today – and in the
future – by focusing on GHG reduction.
“We welcome the findings from this Gartner and WWF report as
an independent affirmation of Fujitsu’s long-term commitment
to environmental initiatives. In the future, we foresee a world
where carbon emission metrics can be sensed, measured and displayed
in real time,” said Atsuhisa Takahashi, President, Corporate
Environmental Strategy Unit, Fujitsu.
As a part of 20-year sustainability initiatives, Fujitsu stresses
on Green ICT throughout the entire product lifecycle – from
basic technology research and development, to product design and
operation, and through to operating recycling services in countries
throughout the world. The vendor’s global green IT
initiative, Green Policy Innovation, aims to achieve a cumulative
reduction in worldwide CO2 emissions of more than 15 million tons
over the four-year period from fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2012.
During fiscal 2009, Fujitsu achieved a global reduction of 2.37
million tons, exceeding the target of 2.13 million tons.
The vendor’s research and development arm, Fujitsu
Laboratories, has already started measuring the potential carbon
reduction effect of all technologies under development.
