Fujitsu is one of the 187 companies that has been awarded an A grade for its performance in climate change mitigation, earning it a position on this global ranking of corporate efforts.

Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of CDP, comments: "Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and we face steep financial risk if we do not mitigate them. The business case for action to mitigate climate change has never been stronger or more urgent. For this reason we congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position on The A List: The CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index. These companies are responding to market demand for environmental accountability and at the same time are making progress towards the realization of sustainable economies."
