Green Products
Fujikura Group has established a certification system for environmentally friendly products (green related products) from the perspective of protecting the global environment. Based on "Green Mind Products," which are registered products that meet the standards according to an internally established product environmental assessment check sheet, we certify "Green Products" that have improved the environmental performance of the product itself, and "Green PLUS," which focuses on the effects obtained by using Fujikura products.
More than 4,000 green products have been registered since the system was launched in 2011. This activity is being carried out in collaboration with group companies companies, and Fujikura Group will continue to increase the proportion of environmentally friendly products in the group's revenue.

*Fujikura uses the Environmental Label Type II (self-declaration) defined in ISO14021 for certification of green products.
Green PLUS
"Green PLUS" is a new category of Fujikura's unique eco-friendly products that focuses on contributing to society while protecting the environment, from the perspective of how Fujikura products can help solve environmental and other social issues through customers' products and services, and how they can bring new value experiences and change the world. As mentioned above, while traditional green products and green mind products focus on the environmental friendliness of the product itself, Green PLUS focuses on the benefits achieved through product use. Green PLUS certification involves extensive discussions with management layer as well as business divisions that handle the product to clarify how it will contribute to solving environmental and social issues, clarifying the vision of the future that Fujikura products will create. Through Green PLUS, Fujikura Group will contribute to solving not only environmental issues but also various social issues.
Branding
Among Green Mind products, Fujikura products with high environmental performance themselves are defined as green products and are given the "GREEN PROJECT" logo.
