Global warming is risking life on earth, posing danger to fresh water, food, and energy supplies. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the fundamental cause of global warming. GHG emissions include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced by the combustion of oil, fossil fuels, and other sources.
The technology and communication industry accounts for approximately 2% to 3% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. GHG emissions are produced by industry operations such as energy consumption, product manufacture, and product use. According to the International Telecommunication Union, digital technology has the potential to reduce world carbon emissions by roughly 17%. Technology companies can help other industries improve their operational efficiency, cutting GHG emissions.
Fujitsu Ltd (Fujitsu) provides information and communications technology (ICT) solutions. It offers an array of computing devices, storage devices, servers, networking systems, electronic devices, and allied products. The company’s products and services include 5G networks, network switches, optical networks, open networks, data center interconnect, electronic devices, among others. In 2020, the technology company reported total GHG emissions of around 5.20 million tonnes CO2 equivalents (MtCO2eq), down 20% from 2019.
Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are the three categories of GHG emissions. Scope 1 emissions result from combustion of fuel mainly at business sites owned by Fujitsu. Indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased energy, such as the electricity needed to power the company's facilities, are referred to as Scope 2. Scope 3 emissions refer to the company's other indirect emissions beyond the company’s direct operations and occur in the company’s value chain, including upstream and downstream activities, such as purchased goods and services, product transportation, and product use.
Scope 3 emissions account for most of Fujitsu’s overall GHG emissions, accounting for 88.2% of total GHG emissions (4.58 MtCO2eq) in 2020. In 2020, the company's Scope 1 emissions fell by 14%, and Scope 2 emissions fell by 19%.
Fujitsu is committed to 100% renewable energy adoption by 2050, with an interim target of 40% by 2030.
