FUJITSU LABORATORIES LTD. Sustainability Report 2016
We currently face many issues in the world such as problems with
food supply, energy and resources, climate change, an increase in
natural disasters, and the loss of biodiversity, due to global
population increases, deforestation, and the burning of fossil
fuels, etc. The rules for this new era are gradually being
clarified with the UN General Assembly’s adoption in 2015 of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for world society looking to
2030 and the agreement at COP21 on the Paris Climate Agreement
toward a zero-carbon society. Given this situation, expectations
are increasing for companies to contribute to resolving these
social and environmental issues. As the core research and
development (R&D) organization of the Fujitsu Group, Fujitsu
Laboratories conducts research and development from an
environmental perspective in wide-ranging areas from ICT-related,
advanced materials, next-generation elements, networks, and cloud
systems, to creating next-generation solutions, services and
business models. Based on these innovative technologies and our
slogan of “Developing technology to contribute to the resolution of
social and environmental issues,” Fujitsu Laboratories promotes
various environmental activities including CO2 emissions reductions
through energy-saving and work efficiency improvements, resource
saving, natural disaster response, conservation of biodiversity,
and countermeasures to global warming.
The Fujitsu Group is committed to “Creating Things in Harmony
with Nature.” As a member of this group, Fujitsu Laboratories
undertakes research and development that places environmental
contribution as a priority item based on the FUJITSU Way-the
Fujitsu Group’s corporate philosophy-in which “protecting the
environment and contributing to society” is a key corporate
value.

FUJITSU LABORATORIES LTD. Sustainability Report 2016
■ Creation of Green ICT • Fujitsu Laboratories engages in
resolving social issues using ICT, and we repositioned and
highlighted our
environmental contribution in the Green ICT area, which is an
area with particularly large ripple effects. • The Case of Green
ICT
(1) Fujitsu Works to Conserve Biodiversity with Start of
Technology Trial to Predict Deer Populations in Yamanashi
(Announced January 18, 2016) • Biological diversity is conserved by
a variety of living organisms existing in the proper balance, but
in
recent years, the rapid increase in the population of sika deer
has led to forest damage through overgrazing. There are concerns
that an increasing amount of damage will lead to a future loss of
biodiversity. Developing countermeasures requires population
estimates gained through field surveys, and forecasts on the growth
of animal distribution, but there are issues with conducting
investigations across many locations in a broad area and in
locations that are difficult for researchers to access to, etc.
• Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a software technology to
predict maximum possible animal populations without conducting a
field survey, by using publicly available information, such as
vegetation maps that display the types and distribution of plants,
topographical maps, and climate information, as well as information
about the animal's basic biology. By applying this technology to
sika deer, using maps of vegetation, land-use, and topography, the
habitable areas that are suitable for deer to live are calculated,
and, by applying the relationship between sika deer population
density and their weight, the maximum possible population number
for each square kilometer area is predicted.

(2) Fujitsu Field Trial in City of Koriyama Detects Signs of
Storm Sewer System Overflows Due to Torrential Downpours (Announced
December 21, 2015) • In recent years, there have been numerous
instances of torrential downpours that far exceeded the
magnitudes anticipated in the operation of storm sewer systems.
The damage from overflows stemming from such intense, localized
downpours is becoming increasingly extensive. With limited human
and financial resources, however, there is a need to utilize ICT,
in addition to measures to improve storm sewer system
infrastructure.
• Fujitsu Laboratories has succeeded in the real-time detection
of early signs of storm sewer system overflows during torrential
downpours, thereby obtaining data for effective analyses. The data
was collected in a sensing system field trial initiated in July
2015 with the City of Koriyama in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture.
• Features control technology for optimal measurement of risk
from changing sewage water level and reduces power consumption by
about 70%.
■Countermeasures to Global Warming ■ Reduction of energy use and
CO2 emissions
Fujitsu Laboratories promotes energy-saving activities at each
location. • Strategic facility investment
→ Adjustable lighting/LED lighting with motion sensors → Latest
sensitive building air-conditioning equipment
• Thorough elimination of wasteful electricity consumption →
Further optimization of air-conditioning
operation by using more sensors → All lights turned off during
lunchtime and
enabled the turning off of lights on an individual basis
• Reduction of impact of outside air on indoor environment →
Insulation of existing window glass and use of
shading film → The Green Curtain (Summer)
• Cool Biz/Warm Biz campaigns

■Environmental Social Contributions ■ The Green Curtain
(Kawasaki Location)
At the Kawasaki location, Fujitsu Laboratories collaborated with
the Kawasaki Plant in the Green Curtain Project that lets bitter
gourds grow along the walls of buildings to keep the indoor
temperature cool. The bitter gourds grown in this way were
harvested and enjoyed by employees.
■ Volunteer Clean-up (Atsugi Location) Fujitsu Laboratories
teams up with three neighboring firms twice a year in the spring
and fall to clean up the area surrounding its offices. Fall 2015
marked the 38th time these clean-up activities were held and
Fujitsu Laboratories is making a continuous contribution to
cleaning and beautifying the local social environment.
■Conservation of Biodiversity ■ Preservation of endangered
plants (Atsugi Location)
In the green belt, threatened and near-threatened plants
specified on the Ministry of the Environment’s Red List such as
Golden Orchid and Calanthe Discolor grow wild. Fujitsu Laboratories
preserves biodiversity by conserving the locations where these
plants grow wild to ensure they are not trampled on.
■ Tree-planting Activities (Atsugi Location) Fujitsu
Laboratories has been involved in ongoing tree-planting activities
within the site since 2010 based on the slogan of “Project to
Create a Living Forest” to conserve the tree varieties of the
Tanzawa foothills.
