Pengurangan Kesan Alam Sekitar Sepanjang Rantaian Bekalan
In recent years, there has been near-global consensus on the need for a circular economy—a business model in which resources are used in a circular manner. Aiming to establish a manufacturing model that generates zero environmental load throughout the life cycles of its products, Fuji Electric has set a Fiscal 2030 Goal of transitioning to environmentally friendly products that meet ecodesign regulations in its Environmental Vision 2050. Previously, during production we focused on reducing the proportion of waste sent to landfill, and on controlling water intake; currently, however, in addition to these activities, we are also focusing on limiting waste generation itself.
More specifically, we are reviewing the designs of the products we manufacture and working to transition to environmentally friendly products. In fiscal 2025, to move toward transitioning to environmentally friendly products, we newly established the Environmentally Friendly Product Planning Working Group to promote efforts to reduce environmental impact starting from the product design stage, and began formulating original evaluation criteria based on the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and preparing to revise our environmentally friendly design standards.
We are also working together with our suppliers to promote activities aimed at calculating and reducing carbon footprints. Our ultimate goal is to achieve zero environmental load throughout product lifecycles, thereby contributing to the realization of a Recycling-Oriented Society and a Society that is in Harmony with Nature.
Penggunaan Sumber dan Pemuliharaan Bahan Mentah yang Berkesan
In Fuji Electric's "Effective Use of Resources and Conservation of Raw Materials" activities, we promote environmental improvements for products at each factory in accordance with company-wide environmentally friendly design standards, undertaking the following initiatives:
Product design stage: We are working to make products more compact, lighter, and longer lasting, switch to recycled materials, simplify packaging materials, minimize the use of difficult-to-recycle plastics, and eliminate the use of hazardous chemical substances.
Product manufacturing stage: We aim to increase recycling rates by improving yield, reusing by-products, reducing defective products, reusing packing materials, and strengthening waste sorting processes.
Fuji Electric will continue to engage in improvement activities and work to transition to environmentally friendly products.
Mengurangkan Kesan Alam Sekitar Sepanjang Seluruh Kitaran Hayat Produk
With regulations progressing mainly in Europe toward transitioning to a circular economy, companies are required to engage in efforts to reduce environmental impact across the entire supply chain. In pursuit of realizing a Recycling-Oriented Society set forth in its Environmental Vision 2050, Fuji Electric is advancing the formulation of environmentally friendly design standards based on ESPR, aiming to design products that realize a circular economy.
Pendekatan kepada Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP)
We are working on quantifying greenhouse gas emissions across the product lifecycle in terms of CO₂ emissions.
In fiscal 2025, we began developing an in-house tool for CFP calculation and conducted system-based pilot CFP calculations for five representative models (rotating machinery, transformers, vending machines, semiconductors, and electromagnetic switches).
In fiscal 2026, we will expand the target models for calculation, collect primary data in collaboration with our business partners, and work on CFP calculation using primary data.
Promote Circular Economies
Produk Mesra Alam
Fuji Electric regards transitioning to environmentally friendly products as a key pillar of promoting circular economies. By establishing evaluation criteria and standards that comply with international regulations such as ESPR, and building a system to evaluate the environmental load of our products at the product planning and design stages, we are advancing efforts to reduce environmental impact.
Kebolehkesanan Persekitaran
To visualize whether products are manufactured in a sustainable manner, we are advancing efforts to address product-level environmental traceability (EU Digital Product Passport). In collaboration with our business partners, we will disclose information such as product raw materials, CFP, and recyclability to customers and Society, working to build a framework that enables customers to select our products with confidence.
