We promotes ecological designs and makes efforts to develop and provide eco-efficient products that

support "energy-saving", "3R design (*2)", and "management of used chemical substances" in order

to reduce the burden on the environment throughout the product's entire life cycle.

In fiscal 2015, we moved forward with the compliance with the International ENERGY STAR Program

Ver. 2.0 for image scanners, the acquisition of EPEAT, and the acquisition of the Eco Mark certification.

In the case of embedded products, we strove to achieve our target values defined in the

environmental performance index by making these products more environmentally friendly.

Main Achievements of Fiscal 2015

Producing products with top-level energy efficiency

Scanners

As planned, we complied with the "International ENERGY STAR Program Ver. 2.0" for 7 newly-developed models.

Embedded products

We defined the environmental performance indexes by ourselves, calculated them for all of our products, and achieved the goal we established.

Interactive KIOSKs

As planned, we investigated the latest energy-saving standard levels and developed a model of a product with top-level energy efficiency in fiscal 2015.

To comply with environmental labels

Scanners

As planned, we acquired certification for 4 new models that are to be expanded to North America, for EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool), an environmental evaluation system for electronic products adapted as a system for promoting green purchasing, primarily in organizations related to the American government .

As our environmentally conscious activities, such as 3R design and energy-saving functions became recognized, 5 new models received Eco Mark certification. In addition, we received the Eco Mark Award Bronze Prize in recognition for our extensive efforts in environmental activities for many years, prompt compliance with international environment standards, and our efforts to raise awareness by using Eco Mark to promote environmental consciousness.

We provide environmentally conscious solutions and services that contribute to reducing the burden

on the environment from our customers' business, such as energy conservation and paperless work,

through more efficient business, reduced consumption, reduced movement, and efficient use of

space.

In fiscal 2015, in addition to developing and shipping various solutions and services, we moved

forward with customer proposals and the transmission of information.

Main Achievements of Fiscal 2015 Reducing our customers' environmental burden by expanding our environmentally conscious solutions and services

Promotion of customer proposals

・Fujitsu Environmental Contribution Solutions certification Received recognition for reducing storage space outside the company building and reducing work-hours for audits. (53.2% reduction of CO2)

・Electronic Document Solutions

・Development and shipment of environmentally conscious solutions

・ViaDocV1.0L10, BIP Smart ・DynaEye Individual Number OCR ・IPCOM EX E30L10 ・IPCOM EX E20L32 ・Scan to DocuWorks ・ScanSnap Cloud

Promotion of transmitting information

・Participation at events We exhibited the ScanSnap iX100 and iX500 at the "17th Eco-Products 2015 Exhibition", introducing their use in paperless work.

Main Effects of Reducing the Burden on the Environment by Using Electronic Document Solutions PFU's electronic document solutions support the Electronic Document Act (Electronic Books

Maintenance Act), and achieve extensive business efficiency by digitizing national tax documents. The

digitization of national tax documents (paper vouchers) reduces the burden on the environment and

contributes to global warming countermeasures.

With the enactment of the Electronic Document Act taking place in April 2005, PFU worked to incorporate

electronic billing and was reviewed by national tax authorities as the first company in Japan (*) to take such

steps. Based on our in-house efforts, in 2015 we started providing our electronic document knowhow as

"Electronic Document Solutions". (* based on an in-house study)

Using E-mail Notification from

Digital Thermo-Hygrometers for

Efficient Control

Using a Document Management System to

Reduce the Volume of Data Transmission

To provide eco-efficient products, we established "PFU Group Green Procurement Direction", which

specifies basic requirements for our suppliers, and we promote environmental activities together with

our suppliers.

In fiscal 2015, we promoted efforts for CO2 emission control for our applicable suppliers, and

confirmed that each company achieved our standard level for green procurement.

Main Achievements of Fiscal 2015

Promotion of procurement from suppliers that work aggressively in consideration of the environment.

Maintained 100% of suppliers working to control CO2 emissions. (5 new companies + 82 existing companies = 87 companies: 100%)

For in-house business, we are engaged in environmental activities such as paperless work, saving

energy, and reducing CO2 used for transportation, through changes in the way we work such as using

information technology to enhance business efficiency. Activities for enhancements are shared as

Idea Snap Activities (in-company improvement activities). To promote spreading the activities

throughout the company, examples are regularly introduced. Examples of Improvements in Fiscal 2015

・Using a Document Management System to Change the Way We Work in Meetings

Until now, it was common that materials for in-house meetings

were collected/distributed via e-mail. As part of our efforts to

change the way we work in our company, we used a document

management system to manage the registration and viewing of

such materials on company servers, resulting in a reduction in

the volume of data transmission and the work-hours for

collecting/distributing mater ials.

・Using Digital Thermo-Hygrometers to Improve the Efficiency of Temperature/Humidity Control It is necessary to keep temperature and humidity constant in

areas where electronic parts are stored and manufactured in the

plants. Previously, we used thermo-hygrometers that used special

paper and ink, which required paper replacement. In addition, a

time lag occurred when an error was detected.

By switching to digital thermo-hygrometers that allow wireless and

centralized control in all work areas, paper replacement is no

longer required and automated alarms provide a prompt response

to errors.

3. Promotion of Green Procurement

4. Promotion of Green Processes

12

To prevent global warming, we engage in energy-saving and power-saving activities to reduce the

amount of energy consumption.

In fiscal 2015, we improved the office environment at our Headquarters, and made efforts to reduce

energy consumption such as switching to 100% LED lighting.

We also made efforts such as installing heat-shielding sheets in summer and installing inner walls in the

truck yard in winter, where there is a lot of in/out traffic, to enhance the efficiency of air conditioning at the

ProDeS Center.

Trends in Energy Consumption (Crude Oil Conversion Value: kL)

(Note) Amount of consumption of purchased electricity, gas, and heat (district cooling and heating at

the Yokohama headquarters), converted into crude oil (kL)

Results of Power-Saving Activities

Our two sites set voluntary targets for peak power and amount of power used in summer. The ProDeS

Center was unable to achieve its target for peak power due to an increase in production volume.

However, the Headquarters achieved its targets for both peak power and amount of power used. ✔: Target Achieved X: Target Unachieved

Examples of Energy-Saving and Power-Saving Activities

・Installing Heat-Shielding Sheets and "Green Curtains"

By controlling the effects of solar radiation in summer, the efficiency of air conditioning was

enhanced.

- Heat-shielding sheets were installed on the south side of the Headquarters.

- "Green Curtains" were installed at the Headquarters and the ProDeS Center.

・Reducing Power Consumption of Office Lighting

We improved the office environment at our Headquarters, and

greatly reduced power consumed for office lighting by switching to

100% LED lighting. We expect the reduction in heat from fluorescent

lights to lead to a reduction in air conditioning usage.

・Reducing Load on Air Conditioning at Plants

At the ProDeS Center, we installed rockwool thermal insulation

materials as inner walls at the truck yard, which greatly enhances the

walls against external temperature. This heat shielding reduced air

conditioning usage.

・Local production for local consumption and recycling of food waste in the company cafeteria

Every year since October 1999, we have produced

vegetables at a company-owned farm (Eco-farm) on

land owned by the company. The vegetables from

this farm are provided in the company cafeteria on a

menu of locally produced food. Kitchen waste from

the cafeteria is converted into compost that is used

on the farm, allowing us to build and maintain a

system for recycling food.

In accordance with this contract, we joined in on activities such

as the beautification of the tress to block out wind (May 2015), the "Clean Walk" (November 2015),

and the planting of trees to block out wind (March 2016).

・"Creation Workshop"

As a regional contribution in Ishikawa, elementary and junior high

school children from the local area were invited to participate in a "PFU

Creation Workshop".

This year, the participants built a compact computer, to experience the

joy of creating things. Information about PFU image scanners that

have acquired Eco Mark certification was distributed to the participants.

・Local Environment Beautification Activities

As part of our CSR activities and

environmental activities, we started to

participate in the Hama Road Supporter

activities sponsored by Yokohama city at the

Yokohama Headquarters. These activities

were held four times in fiscal 2015.

We also participated in the mass beach

cleanup activity sponsored by Kahoku city

in Ishikawa.

Workers at PFU Techno Wise cut grass around the Takamatsu plant as

their own event for the environmental month. This year, they filled a

two-ton truck with weeds and ivy.

We strive to increase our employees' environmental awareness through efforts such as holding

environmental facility tours and sharing environmental information.

We also respond to inquiries about the environment from our customers.

Environmental Facility Tours We held environmental facility tours

at the Yokohama Headquarters for

our employees. We entered

environmental facilities which are

normally off-limits to deepen

employees' environmental

awareness and their understanding

of the facility's role and

environmental burden.

CO2 Reduction/Light Down Campaign We participated in the "CO2 Reduction/Light Down Campaign", held by

the Ministry of the Environment, from June 22 (summer solstice) to

July 7 (Cool Earth Day).

We used our website for employees and digital signs to provide

information that encouraged employees to turn the lights off after 8pm

both at work and at home.

Sharing Environmental Information Our company now has an environmental

website for our employees, which presents

information related to environmental

activities, introduces the environmental

activities of each department, and covers

current topics, event information, and

environmental news.

Also, using "Idea Snap Activities", which

allow for improvement activities to be

shared throughout the company, we are

showing the environmental effect of reducing the amount of paper or electricity used. We are trying to

enhance the motivation for improvements among our employees by regularly making an honorable

recognition of good proposals.

To quantify the costs and benefits of environmental conservation and evaluate environment

investment and its benefits, "Environmental Accounting" was introduced in fiscal 1999. In fiscal 2015,

this accounting method was applied to six of our business sites in Japan (Headquarters, Yokohama

Headquarters, ProDeS Center, Kansai Branch, Tokai Branch, and the Shinbashi Service Center).

Numbers in parentheses ( ) are comparisons with the previous fiscal year.

Costs and Benefits of Fiscal 2015 After tallying fiscal 2015, we see that both costs and benefits decreased, with the costs at 556 million

yen (-0.4% compared to the previous fiscal year) and the benefits at 2.040 billion yen (-4% compared

to the previous fiscal year).

The main cause for the fluctuation was a reduction in resource recycling costs (disposal of waste and

effective use of resources, etc.) and global environmental conservation benefits (global warming

prevention, energy-saving, etc.) due to the consolidation of branches (consolidation of Tokyo

Headquarters and Tokyo Development Center with Yokohama Headquarters).

Capital investment was 168 million yen (+187% compared to the previous fiscal year). Main capital

investments included the switch to LED lighting and the renewal of our air conditioning equipment in

order to reform and improve the environment in our buildings at the Headquarters.

In order to conserve the environment surrounding our sites, we regularly measure water quality, noise

output, and vibration output, and perform ongoing management of our facilities, as well as properly

manage chemical substances to prevent pollution.

Also, we monitor the burden on the environment from our sites by assessing the actual amount of

greenhouse gases, waste material, and water resources emitted/used in business.

Water Quality Measurement Results We make efforts to maintain the water quality of drainage from Headquarters, the ProDeS Center, and

the PTW Takamatsu Plant.

Total Amount of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions from all our sites in Japan is converted to a CO2 equivalent

weight and shown below.

(*4) 6.5 gas: CO2, methane, dinitrogen monoxide, HFCs (fluorocarbons), PFCs (perfluorocarbons), SF6 (sulfur

hexafluoride), NF3 (nitrogen trifluoride) (Note) The amount (t) of greenhouse gas emissions above is calculated by taking the total of Scope 1 and

Scope 2 of the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol.

Total of CO2 from energy (CO2 emissions due to use of purchased electricity, city gas, liquefied

petroleum gas (LPG), and heat (district cooling and heating at the Yokohama headquarters)) and the

amount of use of greenhouse gases such as chlorofluorocarbon alternatives (6.5 gas), converted into

carbon dioxide.

Amount of Waste The amount of waste for all our sites in Japan is shown below. We achieved zero waste emissions

(*5) in all our offices and factories.

We check that after thermal recycling by means such as the conversion of general combustible matter

to RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel), the residue is put to effective use as base material for cement and

paving materials.

In fiscal 2015, there was some temporary emission of equipment/metal scraps, furniture/fixtures, and

paper documents. However, due to an expansion of the scope of valuable resources, overall there

was a reduction in amount of waste emissions.

(*5) Zero waste emission means that waste produced by our sites is all used effectively, such as through

recycling, and disposal by simple incineration or landfills is less than 0.5%. The term "Waste", as used

above, specifically includes 11 sub-types, such as sludge waste, oil waste, acid waste, alkali waste,

plastic waste, paper waste, metal waste, timber waste, textile waste, glass and ceramic waste, and meat

and vegetable waste (Cafeteria kitchen waste). Medical waste is not included in this definition.

(Note) The valuable resource amount means the amount of waste resources sold off for monetary

compensation. The final waste disposal amount means the remaining waste (landfill) other than

recycled waste, waste recovered by heat, and simple incinerated waste.

Water Consumption/Water Drainage The amount of water consumption and water drainage for our main sites in Japan is shown below.

The Tokyo Development Center (our site) was relocated to the Yokohama Headquarters (tenant) in

October 2014, so that the Tokyo Development Center was not included in the sites where the amount

of water consumption and water drainage was measured in fiscal 2015. Therefore, the amount of

water consumption and water drainage was reduced in fiscal 2015 compared to the previous fiscal

year.

・Water Consumption Amount

(Note) Our sites: Headquarters, ProDeS Center, PFU Techno Wise Takamatsu Plant, Tokyo Development

Center (until October 2014)

At each site, we use tap water for domestic use and to humidify the office in winter. At our

Headquarters, we use ground water to water our plants in summer, and at our Headquarters and the

ProDeS Center, we use ground water to melt snow. We do not use water for industrial purposes at our

company sites. Also, we do not recycle or reuse water.

In addition to the effects of the relocation of the Tokyo Development Center in 2014, less water used

to water plants at the Headquarters due to bad weather in summer and less ground water used to

melt snow because of less snowfall in Ishikawa than the previous fiscal year due to a warm winter

resulted in an overall reduction in the amount of water consumption in fiscal 2015.

continuously monitoring and measuring water quality by using our own self management values in

order to ensure the quality of water that drains from our main sites. (Page 22)

Due to the reduction of water as a result of the relocation of the Tokyo Development Center in 2014,

the amount was reduced in fiscal 2015 compared to the previous fiscal year.

To continually improve our environmental activities, we not only carry out an internal environmental

audit annually, also undergo an ISO14001 environmental management system verification inspection

by an external agency.

・Internal Audits

Internal audits are carried out by employees certified

with auditing qualifications, confirming the

implementation of each department's environmental

activities target set in accordance with the Environmental

Policy and confirming that each department reliably

upholds various rules, including laws. These audits help

improve problems and spread positive activities in our

company.

In fiscal 2015, we carried out internal audits in all 37 departments and at 18 service bases in July.

While identifying three cases for improvement and 18 positive cases, we reviewed the audit cycle and

decided to change the cycle for the department audit to every three years to reduce the time required

to carry out audits. This change reduced the burden on each department.

・External Inspections

In September 2015, we underwent a certification inspection by the Japan Audit and Certification

Organization for Environment and Quality (JACO) as a renewal inspection.

As a result of this inspection, we received "Enhanced" for our total evaluation. We also gained an

evaluation that our organizational management system satisfied the standard requirements and was

implemented effectively.
