Aizuwakamatsu Plant
1. Welcome
2012
The Aizuwakamatsu Plant is one of Fujitsu Semiconductor Group’s production centers, situated in Aizuwakamatsu City in Fukushima Prefecture. It is blessed with a rich natural environment, and the abundant water that is essential for semiconductor production.Since the plant began operation, we have aimed to become a “green factory” with lower environmental load, preventing global warming, cutting waste emissions, and reducing emissions of chemical substances. Every company employee works together on these and other related activities. Especially in the previous fiscal year, all employees worked for energy-saving activities in response to the power saving request due to pressure on the electric power supply.We are also actively extending our activities to environmental social contributions, such as cleaning up the area around the plant and its local area. We currently have approximately 2,700 lavender plants that we planted in the areas surrounding the plant, and during the flowering season, we invite the local people to pick the lavender flowers for drying and making potpourri.We also suffered damage in the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, but the diligent efforts of our staff enabled us to restore operations early, ahead of other companies. This success greatly increased our customers’ confidence in us.As a member of the community, this plant will join in with the community to pursue environmental management, based on our awareness of the importance of environmental activities.We hope you will read this Environmental Report, as it is our tool for sharing information about our environmental activities.
As a semiconductor front-end process plant, the Aizuwakamatsu Plant has taken on manufacturing mainly CMOS logic and analog devices for digital Audio/Video, game machines, digital home appliances, automotive products, and mobile phones. This plant has been meeting customers’ design specifications and demands for multiproduction with flexible quantities, along with the increase of COT business in recent years. We are also working on the development of power devices using Gallium Nitride (GaN), which consumes less electricity.

Examples of main improvements in 2011 Green process activitiesThis factory is developing green process activities that cut the amounts of chemicals used in production processes,thereby cutting costs and reducing the environmental load.In 2011, we also made progress with the transition from exfoliating fluid of high environmental impact to a lower-impact cleaning fluid.
6. Environmental Education / Environmental Awareness Activities
4. Green Factories
5. Environmental Social Contribution Activity
Cleanup activities around the plant Presentation at the Aizuwakamatsu City Environment Festival
Holding environment seminars Site visit to environmental facilities Picking lavender flowers
Report URL: http://jp.fujitsu.com/microelectronics/environment/report/
Cleanup activities around the company have been continuously carried out every year and we have also participated in the local cleanup activities for a long time. At the presentation to an environment festival held by the city, we held a magic show by "Uncle Forest" with collaboration with the environment head office to call for activities for the environment by citizens and enhance our association with the region.
Participation in local cleanup activities
We hold various events for improving the environmental awareness of each employee and improving the motivation. In the environment seminar, we invited a specialist lecturer to hold a seminar based on the theme close to life “The water environment of Inawashiro Lake." We also carried out annual picking of lavender flowers and a site visit to environmental facilities. We handed out nursery plants of morning glory, which were cultivated at the company garden in order to encourage biodiversity activities at home, to employees to try to create green curtains.
Energy-saving activities (attachment of light shielding film)Light shielding films were attached to 115 windows at connecting corridors etc. Cutting solar radiation heat and suppressing the increase of room temperature reduces the load on air conditioners (turbo freezing machine) and saves power.Film was nicely attached to windows by our company employees.
