Environmental Management Initiatives

Fuji Electric is devoting effort to maintaining compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and standards and implementing environmental management systems based on items 4 and 5 of the Basic Environmental Protection Policy.

Environmental Management in accordance with ISO 14001

Fuji Electric, its domestic consolidated companies, and its overseas consolidated production companies have established Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and are promoting certification by third-party organizations.
All employees undergo environmental training and engage in routine environmental activities, such as energy conservation, waste reduction, and the effective use of water resources, which have become firmly established.

The Status of ISO 14001 Certification

(As of March 31, 2026)

The five uncertified sites are Fuji Gemco, Fuji SEMEC Inc., Fuji SMBE Harwal, Fuji SMBE Macquarie, and United Fuji Semiconductor.

The environmental ISO coverage rate is 90% (45/50) based on production sites and 98% based on the number of employees.

Environmental Risk Management

To maintain a stable production system, it is essential that we strengthen environmental risk management at our production sites. For this reason, we actively promote education and understanding of competence for personnel at our production sites on such topics as mitigating climate change risk, preventing pollution, and increasing environmental risk sensitivity.
We conduct risk management for all domestic production sites from two perspectives: managing risks related to facilities and equipment using the Environmental Risk Map, and managing environmental performance risks using the Fact Sheet.

Measures for Responding to Climate Change Risks

Based on the flood risk assessment associated with the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, which was conducted in fiscal 2022 through our TCFD activities, we implemented countermeasures tailored to the risk levels at our domestic and overseas production sites by fiscal 2024. In addition to physical countermeasures, we also created a countermeasure action timeline. Utilizing this timeline allows us to anticipate the situations that will occur during a disaster and take the necessary disaster prevention actions.

Visualization of Environmental Risks

Fuji Electric creates specific environment risk maps for each factory in order to guide environmental preservation activities and help reduce the impact on the environment should an accident occur. Accordingly, these maps make it easier to share and communicate environmental risk information. These maps provide diagrams that illustrate a clear picture of information regarding the facilities, equipment, and work processes with the potential to impact the environment as well as information related to the factory premise and buildings.
We maintain environmental risk maps for all of our domestic production sites. These maps are reviewed and updated annually to ensure they contain the latest information.
We create, review, and annually update soil-related environment risk maps for our production sites in Japan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Prevention of Emission of Pollutants into Water and Air

We prevent environmental pollution of air and water.
In order to prevent air pollution, we have equipped in-house generation equipment (excluding emergency-use backup generators) with emission treatment equipment to limit the release of NOx into the atmosphere. We also strive to limit the release of SOx into the atmosphere by using low-sulfur fuels.

In order to prevent water pollution, Fuji Electric has installed treatment equipment at bases that utilize chemical substances and manages the quality of water used in these bases to ensure that chemical levels do not exceed established environmental standards. We also conduct periodic emergency response drills to guarantee that we are prepared should an abnormality be detected. In addition, we implement checks on the automatic shut-off function of drainage gates and ensure that the internal reporting system operates within the allowable time for the reservoirs.

Soil Purification

In Japan, we had assessed the soil and groundwater pollution status at all production sites by fiscal 2007. We initiated purification at the 13 production sites that exceeded standard values, and this has been completed at 9 of these sites.

Subsequently, we conducted investigations when opportunities for soil surveys arose as stipulated by the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act*1. For production sites where it was determined that groundwater monitoring was necessary, as of June 2026, we are conducting purification at three production sites *2 and groundwater monitoring at four production sites*3.

Overseas countries are also enacting laws and regulations similar to Japan’s Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act, and in response we have started conducting land-use history assessments and compiling digital maps.

Furthermore, we perform soil investigations prior to purchasing or selling land, whether in Japan or overseas, to check for risks of contamination and other problems.
