@@@FUJITSU
TEN LIMITED (Head Office: Kobe; President: Takamitsu Tsuchimoto;
Capital: Yen 5,300 million ) has finalized the environment Accounting
for fiscal year 2000 (from April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001 ) and
issued the Environment Report including said environment accounting.
@@@In
our company, we are going on to carry out the environment accounting
starting from fiscal year 1999 as a means of evaluating the efficiency
of our environment preservation activities.
@@@Further, starting from fiscal year 2000,
we have introduced the environment performance
index (consisting of the environment efficiency
(1) and the environment burden improvement efficiency (2) ) for further promoting the more efficient
and more effective environment preservation
activities.
@@@In
the environment accounting for the fiscal year 2000, FUJITSU TEN,
as a single base, has successfully achieved 110% in the cost vs.
efficiency (a 25 points-increase compared with the previous year
) (i.e., against the environment cost for about yen 260 million,
the effective amount proved to be about yen 280 million ) attributable
to our new addressing in reducing the amount of corrugated cardboard
boxes used for transportation of the products among our plants,
also reducing the amount of paper used and so forth.
@@@With
respect to the environment performance index, the "environment
efficiency"
has been improved to yen 23.7 million of production per 1 tonnage/carbon
of the amount of environmental burden (carbon discharge amount
) in fiscal year 2000 from yen 16.2 million in fiscal year 1999.
With respect to the "environment
burden improvement efficiency, "however,
we failed to have controlled enough the portion of increase in
the amount of energy used associated with the increased production
which was exceeding the budget, and therefore, the result was
a minus amount, - 6.4 t-c/yen 100 million.
@@@The "Environment Report" (A4 sized pamphlet of 24 pages" was issued for the second time in this year following the previous year and we have made improvements in the following areas this time:
- We have newly added one page in which the conditions of our addressing to the environmental impact in the life cycle of our products and the environmental preservation activities can be seen in a list at a glance.
- We have posted the evaluation result through the environment performance index.
- We have enriched the explanation
on the environmental data by production base.
@@@Our company will be very sure to further control and improve our business for the coming years through the compilation of the budget of the environmental cost/efficiency and the environment performance index so that our more efficient environment preservation activities can be spread out globally.
@@@In
the meantime, in the fiscal year 2001, we are aiming to realize
the environment accounting system through the consolidation of
the of the FUJITSU group companies all over the world including
our overseas base points.
(1) Environment efficiency = Amount of production (in yen 100 million
)/Amount of environmental burden (tonnage/carbon
)
The environment efficiency will be
the index representing the additional value
(amount of production)
to be obtained from the amount of environmental
burden (carbon
discharge amount ). In other words, that
is the index representing
that the more the environment should be improved,
the more the
economical value will be advanced. Thus,
we can evaluate the
usage efficiency of the direct environmental
burden in our business
activities.
(2 ) Environment burden improvement efficiency
= Amount of reduction (t-c ) of environmental
burden/Environmental cost (in yen 100 million
).
The environment burden improvement
efficiency is the index representing how
much the environmental
burden (carbon discharge amount ) could have
been reduced for
yen 100 million of expenses required for
the environmental preservation.
Hence, we can compare it on a time series
base, and therefore,
can evaluate the efficiency of the environment
measures by and
large.
In both cases, as to the amount
of environmental burden, we are using the carbon dioxide discharge
coefficient being presented by the Environment Agency.
As to the amount of environmental
burden, within the framework of the "energy
(electricity, fuel and gas ),"
"waste
articles (used plastic cases, waste oil, and general waste matters
) for which the respective carbon dioxide discharge coefficient
being presented, we have totaled the respective amounts of burdens
by converting them to the carbon amount.
