      With intensively multipurposed equipment, promoting conversion to environment-friendly energy-saving types

    the Fuji Xerox ApeosPort-iv

    With participation in Team Minus 6% and switchover to eco-cars for business vehicles, Fields was aggressive about activity respecting the planetary environment.
    Fields has implemented intensiveness in multipurpose equipment currently in use, and overall has successively promoted substitution of environment-friendly energy conservation models like the Fuji Xerox ApeosPort-iv.
    This changeover is expected to reduce annual CO2 emissions by 6.6 tons, a reduction of 26.8%, which is roughly equivalent to the yearly amount absorbed by 470 cedar trees.
    Further, as part of our promotion of information security, we will bring in secure print functions by means of head office and branch employee identification IC cards, with a view to strengthening the information control system.

    * The amount of CO2 absorbed by a single cedar tree in one year is approximately 14 kg according to the Forest Sink Measures to Prevent Global Warming by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment and Forestry Agency.
    * Data on multi-function printers provided by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.

      Substitution of low emission eco-cars in the business fleet

    Substitution of low emission eco-cars in the business fleet

    Fields is promoting substitution of low emission eco-cars in its present business fleet.
    In the Kyoto Protocol, as a countermeasure to worsening global warming, Japan set emission gas reduction volume targets. To help realize these, Fields is participating in the national project "Team Minus 6%"
    As part of this promotion activity, we will gradually substitute low emission eco-cars (the Toyota Prius) in our present business fleet of about 200 units, by June 2012.
    We expect this initiative to reduce our annual CO2 emissions by about 480 tons, a 33% reduction. This is roughly equivalent to the amount of CO2 which would be absorbed by about 30,000 cedar trees in 1 year.

    * The amount of CO2 absorbed by a single cedar tree in one year is approximately 14 kg according to the Forest Sink Measures to Prevent Global Warming by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment and Forestry Agency.
