Carbon Footprint — Operations: How does Fujitsu score?

Fujitsu reports total Scope 1+2 GHG emissions of 498 ktons-CO₂ for FY2024, down 3.5% from FY2023 (516 kt). Data is published with GHG Protocol methodology, multi-year tracking, and granular breakdown by energy type and site. Third-party assurance is confirmed via the Sustainability Data Book 2024 and 2025, and emissions data aligns with SBTi market-based methodology showing 45.8% reduction vs FY2020 baseline. CDP A List for 8 consecutive years supports data quality.

Carbon Footprint — Supply Chain: How does Fujitsu score?

Fujitsu reports Scope 3 emissions across material categories. FY2023 data shows Scope 3 Category 1 alone at approximately 3.9 million tonnes CO₂. Fujitsu won the Verdantix Climate Innovation Award for Scope 3 Metrics & Supply Chain Sustainability in 2023, having gathered ESG data from 1,000 suppliers across seven European countries. Since FY2024, Fujitsu has been exchanging product-level CO₂ data with 12 global suppliers using its ESG Management Platform. CDP Supplier Engagement Leader Board in

Emissions Trajectory: How does Fujitsu score?

Absolute Scope 1+2 emissions have declined consistently: FY2022 to FY2023 down 5.8%, FY2023 to FY2024 down 3.5%. Market-based SBT reduction is 45.8% vs FY2020 baseline, on track for the 71.4% target by FY2030. This is absolute reduction, not intensity-based. However, Scope 3 trajectory is less clear — Category 1 alone is ~3.9 million tonnes and the transition to primary data is still underway. No evidence Scope 3 total is yet declining in absolute terms, which limits the score.

Energy Source: How does Fujitsu score?

Fujitsu is a Gold member of RE100 with a target of 100% renewable electricity by FY2030. In FY2024, renewable energy usage reached 47.5%, up from 42.7% in FY2023. The company uses a combination of green power purchases, on-site solar, and PPAs (e.g., Fujitsu Australia's PPA securing ~47% of power). The largest facility, Fujitsu Technology Park, switched to 100% renewable in April 2021. At 47.5%, the company is not yet at the 50%+ threshold and well short of 90%. PPAs and on-site generation provi

Nature & Biodiversity Impact: How does Fujitsu score?

Fujitsu registered as a TNFD Adopter in December 2023. It has quantified its biodiversity impact using the Ecological Footprint methodology, finding CO₂ emissions and energy use account for 99% of negative-impact factors. The company reports a 28.5% reduction in negative biodiversity impact vs FY2020 baseline, exceeding its FY2024 target of 10%. A 2030 mid-term target aims for 25% reduction. This is a quantified nature footprint with measurable outcomes aligned to the Kunming-Montreal GBF, thoug

Resource Use & Waste: How does Fujitsu score?

Fujitsu operates recycling centers across Japan achieving a 91.6% resource reuse rate for business ICT products. The company set a target to reduce resource intensity by 30%+ vs FY2023, achieving 26.5% in FY2024. Fujitsu is certified for area-wide industrial waste disposal and implements Extended Producer Responsibility. The company joined Circular Partners (Japan METI) in 2023 and trained ~25,000 employees on circular economy. Plastic waste emissions stood at 1.5 thousand tons in FY2024. While

Water Impact: How does Fujitsu score?

Fujitsu conducts water risk assessments for direct operations and supply chain using IPCC scenarios and tools from NGOs and governments. The company has set voluntary water quality controls stricter than legal mandates, recovers and recycles chemicals from production processes rather than discharging them, and monitors water consumption. Fujitsu earned CDP Water Security A List in multiple years (2020, 2021, 2022). Water resource use accounts for only 8% of the company's ecological footprint. Ho

Targets & Commitments: How does Fujitsu score?

Fujitsu has SBTi-validated near-term targets (1.5°C aligned since April 2021) with a 71.4% Scope 1+2 reduction by FY2030 vs FY2020. In June 2023, Fujitsu obtained SBTi Net-Zero Target validation for FY2040 — covering at least 90% reduction across all scopes, with residual removal via DAC or afforestation. The net-zero target is for FY2040, 10 years ahead of the standard 2050 timeline. No evidence of offset reliance; the approach is reduction-first. Targets are absolute, not intensity-based. This

Controversies & Red Flags: How does Fujitsu score?

The Post Office Horizon IT scandal is one of the largest miscarriages of justice in UK history. Fujitsu's Horizon software caused false accounting data leading to 900+ wrongful convictions of subpostmasters between 1999–2015, linked to at least 13 suicides. At the 2024 public inquiry, it was revealed Fujitsu knew about bugs as early as 1999 but did not disclose them. The Metropolitan Police opened a criminal investigation into Fujitsu personnel. As of March 2026, Fujitsu has contributed nothing

Fujitsu has credible climate science-based targets and comprehensive emissions reporting, achieving 45.8% Scope 1+2 reductions. But its dominance in climate metrics masks a catastrophic governance failure: the Post Office Horizon scandal, where Fujitsu withheld knowledge of software bugs causing 900+ wrongful convictions and at least 13 suicides, yet has contributed nothing to the £2 billion redress bill.
