Transforming Our Corporate Culture

 

The Fujitsu Way

Our Purpose
Our Purpose

We have established the Fujitsu Way, a set of principles for all employees to observe based on Our Purpose, which indicates the reason for Fujitsu's existence in society. All Fujitsu employees work to achieve Our Purpose in their daily activities, while keeping in mind Our Values (Aspiration, Trust, and Empathy) and the Code of Conduct as they deliver value to customers and society.

Activities to Promote the Fujitsu Way

In-house Communication Initiatives

Fujitsu has been deploying in-house communication initiatives to boost the degree of empathy with the Fujitsu Way.
To promote the Fujitsu Way globally, we have appointed Fujitsu Way promotion leaders as part of the corporate governance structure. These individuals are responsible for promoting the Fujitsu Way on the front lines, and they participate in regular Fujitsu Way Meetings with the CEO as a way of spurring motivation.
We have also produced a Fujitsu Way booklet and shared it with employees worldwide to ensure that each and every Fujitsu employee understands the Fujitsu Way and makes it their own. The booklet incorporates management's thinking on ways to implement change in Fujitsu. It also includes the words of former CEOs and other pioneers plus the background to their messages, which today form the company's DNA, embedded in the Fujitsu Way. We will continue to communicate the Fujitsu Way through workshops and videos, to ensure that all employees engage in the Fujitsu Way and work toward achieving Our Purpose.

Broadening the Message through Purpose Carving®

In 2020, with the need to coalesce the ideas of each and every employee to generate greater synergy and achieve Our Purpose, we started rolling out the Purpose Carving® program (*1), an initiative to shape and inform each individual's own purpose (My Purpose).
Purpose Carving® is an interactive program that enables participants to reflect on their personal journeys and values, carving out their own purpose as they contemplate the future. With 82,000 employees worldwide having completed the program as of August 2024, the overlaying of their purposes on Fujitsu's corporate Purpose provides the driving force for transformation.

    Purpose Carving® was selected as the winner of the Excellence Award in the Corporate HR category of HR Award 2022 (sponsored by the HR Award Steering Committee and supported by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare).

Sustainability Contribution Awards

The Sustainability Contribution Awards program is an in-house program established to help achieve Fujitsu's Purpose. To create the type of sustainable society that Fujitsu envisions, it is important that the entire organization, based on its purpose and business strategy, places emphasis on contributing to a sustainable society through business and synchronizes business with sustainability. Materiality, revised in 2023, incorporates the perspective of delivering value to customers and society through our business activities. General Judges recruited from within the Fujitsu Group, Fujitsu Way promotion leaders, and the CSSO (*2) serve as judges; they base their decisions on the extent to which the entries embody the values and purpose reflected in the Fujitsu Way and the level of contribution to materiality and business.
In FY2024, a total of 182 applications were received from Fujitsu Group companies worldwide, resulting in the presentation of two Grand Prizes and six Excellence Awards. See below for examples of the applications received in each of the materiality contribution areas.
