A new report published by research firm Gartner and WWF, "Low-Carbon and Environmental Leadership in the ICT Industry by Gartner and WWF, 2010", provides comprehensive rankings for ICT vendors in five headline categories, based on extensive research. Fujitsu is ranked as number 1 in 2 of the 5 categories: 'Transformation of IT' and 'Internal Environmental Performance"
The Gartner and WWF study examines how 19 participating technology and service providers are responding to customer needs today - and in the future - by focusing on GHG reduction.
Fujitsu is committed to delivering products that enable customers to reduce their environmental footprint and meet their own sustainability commitments. The company's research and development arm, Fujitsu Laboratories, has already started measuring the potential carbon reduction effect of all technologies under development, and during the last fiscal year, more than half the new products introduced worldwide by Fujitsu were awarded "Super Green" status or three stars under the Green IT labeling scheme, meeting the company's highest criteria for environmental consciousness.
Fujitsu has also taken the lead in helping customers to both gain a better understanding of and to reduce the GHG footprint from their ICT equipment. In addition to Fujitsu's own stringent Green IT labeling, examples include the 0-Watt range of monitors, PCs and servers, and the PRIMERGY CX1000 cloud server, which sets new standards in datacenter economics by optimizing the operating cost drivers of power, heat and space.
"We welcome the findings from this Gartner and WWF report as an independent affirmation of Fujitsu's long-term commitment to environmental initiatives, and will help customers to better understand which ICT vendors are truly leaders in Green ICT," says Atsuhisa Takahashi, President, Corporate Environmental Strategy Unit at Fujitsu. "In the future we foresee a world where carbon emission metrics can be sensed, measured and displayed in real time, helping to manage our activities as they relate to the global environment."
