Fujitsu Joins RE100, a Global Renewable Electricity Initiative
Accelerates renewable electricity use to achieve "Fujitsu Climate and Energy Vision"

TOKYO, July 20, 2018 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu today announced that it has joined RE100(1), an international initiative led by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP, as Japan's first Gold Member. RE100 aims to have companies use 100% renewable energy for the electricity they consume. In line with this, Fujitsu will expand its use of renewable energy with the goal of sourcing 100% of the electricity consumed at Group locations, both in and outside of Japan, from renewable sources by 2050. Fujitsu will also undertake R&D and technology trials in areas such as energy management and storage, contributing to the spread of renewable energy throughout society.

Under the "Fujitsu Climate and Energy Vision," a medium-to-long term environmental outlook set forth in May 2017, the Fujitsu Group aims to bring Fujitsu's CO2 emissions down to zero by 2050. Along with the thorough implementation of energy-saving measures, the expanded use of renewable energy represents a critical component to achieving this goal. Fujitsu has joined RE100, which strives to significantly expand the adoption of renewable electricity on a global scale, and will further strengthen efforts to boost use of renewable electricity across the Fujitsu Group. Specifically, at locations in Japan and around the world, starting with datacenters outside of Japan, Fujitsu will consider the appropriate steps for each region and expand its procurement of electricity from renewable sources. Fujitsu will concurrently continue its work on R&D and technology trials for energy management and storage, and contribute to the spread of renewable energy in society as a whole.
