Fujitsu was recognized for a variety of reasons, including its consciousness of the necessity to respect diversity, a tenet of the Fujitsu Way, the Fujitsu Group's corporate philosophy. In addition, for its Diversity Promotion Office, established with the full commitment of the company's top management to promote diversity in stages based on three-year plans, as well as for the process innovation of its product planning activities, which take into account the lifestyles of its customer segments.

About Diversity Management Selection 100

On a cumulative basis, in this program METI plans to recognize approximately 100 companies that engage in management practices that generate innovation and create value by offering a diverse range of employee opportunities that enable them to realize the full potential of their talents.
