Fujitsu has launched a collaborative decarbonisation initiative involving twelve global suppliers, sharing Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data to enhance transparency and support its ambition to reach net zero across the value chain by 2040.
The company identified shortcomings in existing CO₂ calculation methods, which lacked precision when tracking cooperative reduction efforts. The company also noted the need to strengthen supplier engagement, particularly in sharing sensitive emissions data.
To address these issues, Fujitsu implemented a data-exchange platform across its supply chain, enabling the exchange of primary PCF data. This initiative makes emissions more visible and fosters collective action towards decarbonisation.
The pilot includes twelve international suppliers. It forms part of a broader, company‑wide endeavour to achieve net‑zero emissions by 2040, extending beyond direct operations to cover the entire value chain.
Details on results are pending as the programme progresses. However, increased transparency and supplier collaboration are expected outcomes. Fujitsu plans to scale the scheme, involve more suppliers, and use this data to guide carbon-reduction strategies.
This initiative underscores growing trends in corporate supply chains, where firms deploy digital tools to trace and reduce CO₂ emissions collaboratively. As regulatory pressure increases around Scope 3 emissions, such platforms are becoming central to global decarbonisation efforts.
