CSR Policy

Contribution to Sustainable Development for Society and the Planet

CSR at Fujitsu is practiced by implementing the Fujitsu Way. In all its business activities, by implementing the Fujitsu Way in light of the expectations and needs of multiple stakeholders, the Fujitsu Group contributes to the sustainable development of society and the planet.

Corporate Social Responsibility Policy and Five Priority Issues

In December 2010, the Fujitsu Group established a corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy and determined five priority issues around which it will focus its CSR practices.

The Fujitsu Group has carried out CSR activities in accordance with the Fujitsu Way, a corporate philosophy that sets forth guiding principles and overarching values for employees. In addition, in December 2009 the company became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (see page 15) as a way to enhance its CSR activities from a global perspective.

In Japan, economic promotion organization Nippon Keidanren revised its Charter of Corporate Behavior in September 2010 to reflect changes in attitudes towards CSR. In November, ISO 26000, the first international standard providing guidelines for social responsibility, was published. Society's demands for CSR activities are intensifying both within and outside Japan.

Based on this CSR policy, the Group will focus on five priorities in a more forceful response to the multiple needs and expectations of stakeholders so as to contribute to the sustainable development of society and the planet, discharging its responsibilities as a truly global ICT company. In addressing the priority issues, Fujitsu will set key performance indicators (KPIs) and follow the PDCA cycle in making actual progress. This progress will be disclosed within and outside the company and shared while CSR activities are being made an integral part of management.

Ongoing Dialogue with Outside Experts

In setting priorities, the CSR Promotion Task Force^*1, which has representatives from all concerned departments of the Company, formed a basic strategy working group that considered the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines and other internationally recognized CSR norms, identified global social problems, and held repeated discussions to decide those which Fujitsu should address as priorities (nine such discussions were held between April and September 2010).

Two sessions of dialogues were also held with stakeholders, in which they were represented by outside experts, deepening our understanding of their needs and expectations.
