FUJITSU TEN LIMITED
FUJITSU TEN LIMITED (Head office: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, President & Representative Director: Takashi Shigematsu, Capital: 5.3 billion yen), that has been providing the car navigation brand, "ECLIPSE" has established the environmental mid- to long-term vision to clarify the medium- and long-term role and goals of FUJITSU TEN Group toward the realization of a sustainable society.
This vision sets three goals for 1. Contributions to customers and society, 2. Pursue internal reforms, 3. Commit to biodiversity, centering on the Fujitsu Group's environmental vision: "Green Policy 2020."
While we will aim to peak out CO2 by 2022 and to reduce by half by 2050 as the goals of reducing our environmental load, we define our mission as "building a better relationship of people with vehicles and the environment", as an automotive related company. Thus, we will promote contributions to green mobility by developing the environmental contribution products such as HV (hybrid vehicle) / EV (electric vehicle) control ECUs(*1).
Background of Establishment
At the G8 Summit held in Toyako in July 2008, a goal of cutting the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2050 was shared, and Fujitsu Group established the medium-term environmental vision: "Green Policy 2020" in the same month. While committing to the goal, in order to clarify the mission to which FUJITSU TEN Group can contribute in the automotive industry, we have been promoting examination of the environmental vision friendly to our original business areas. This fiscal year, we have established the environmental vision, in synchronization with the establishment of the enterprise vision 2022.
