Environmental Involvement Top Ranking on Sustainability Index for Five Years Running Inclusion in the FTSE4Good Global Index Among the Largest Recipients of Company-Wide ISO 14001 Certification  Full Implementation of GLYPH<210>Green ProductsGLYPH<211> Policy ETERNUS Storage System ● First Paper LCD for Contactless Smartcards (Fujitsu Frontech) ● This superthin display panel incorporates a cholesteric liquid crystal capable of continuous display without an electric source. We were able to achieve semipermanent memory color display with low electric power consumption of 6 μＷ or less (excluding the drive circuits). In addition, the display’s accelerated write speed makes it suitable for use in contactless smartcards for mass transit and other applications. 22 Employing our innovative VPS/Eco Design computer-aided design tool in the development of our new ETERNUS storage system model, we were able to significantly reduce the number of parts, including a 50% reduction in the number of screws needed. This enabled us to greatly reduce the time required for disassembly, use less metal, and improve ease of recycling. Moreover, because it is easier to assemble, less energy is used in the manufacturing process, thereby contributing to overall resource conservation. As of the end of fiscal 2003, we were able to achieve our aggressive objective of applying stringent “green products” standards to all newly developed products. These standards ensure environmental soundness throughout the entire product lifecycle. In March 2004 we became one of the largest companies in Japan to receive ISO 14001 certification covering all our domestic operations. We are now in the process of creating a unified environmental management system that will encompass the entire group. Fujitsu has also been included in the “FTSE4Good Global Index” of the FTSE indices compiled by FTSE International Ltd. of the UK. In addition to environmental efforts, we were also recognized for our corporate responsibility in the economic and social spheres. ＊ Launched in 1999 and updated annually, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes track the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide. In recognition of our many initiatives promoting environmental protection, for the fifth year in a row Fujitsu has received a top ranking in the environment dimension of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which tracks 2,500 companies in 34 countries. Fujitsu considers protection of the environment to be an important business issue. Utilizing our technological and creative capabilities as an IT leader, we strive to contribute to sustainable economic development. Noteworthy initiatives and accomplishments in fiscal 2003 included the following. VPS ETERNUS Storage System  Paper LCD
