Sustainability Management in the Fujitsu Group
Policy, Promotion Scheme, and Review
The Fujitsu Group has always been seen by society as a trustworthy and responsible enterprise through its delivery of products and services. However, in the current era of VUCA (*1) we face major changes and the future is difficult to predict. It is therefore important that we, as a member of the global community, conduct business activities under the leadership of senior management that are aimed at resolving environmental, societal and economic problems and that will produce beneficial impacts for society. In April 2020, we established a Sustainability Management Committee that will drive a sustainability-focused management approach under the supervision and direction of the Board of Directors Meeting and the Executive Management Council Meeting. As of fiscal 2024, the committee is made up of corporate executives or SVPs appointed by the Fujitsu CEO. It is chaired by the Fujitsu CEO with the Corporate Vice President acting as the Vice Chairperson. (As of May 2024, the committee had 15 members, including the chair.)
The objective of this committee is sustainability management that takes into account environmental, societal and economic impacts as well as stakeholder(*2) interests, ensuring that the company prospers in the long term as a responsible global enterprise. Specific initiatives will be in line with our values and our purpose, set out in the revised Fujitsu Way, and will include boosting our efforts in non-financial areas. These include respect for human rights, acceptance of diversity and equity, human resource development, maintenance of the global environment and contributing to the development of regional communities. Our goal is to achieve sustainable, long-term improvement in the corporate value of the Fujitsu Group.
The committee is scheduled to meet once every 6 months, and on an ad hoc basis as required, to review the progress of our activities in non-financial areas and determine whether we are on track to meeting our targets. The committee’s other duties include conducting checks and discussions on sustainability-related businesses and deliberating on new activities. It then reports the results during management meetings and to the Board of Directors. The first committee meeting was held in April 2020, followed by semiannual meetings – with the most recent meeting being held in March 2024. To date, the meetings have been characterized by lively discussions on topics such as non-financial indicators and Global Responsible Business activities as we aim to implement materiality in order to achieve 2030 vision of being a technology company that realizes net positive through digital services.

Global Responsible Business
Since its CSR Promotion Committee established the Basic Strategy Working Group in 2010, the Fujitsu Group has identified Five Priority Issues in its Basic CSR Policy and has been promoting activities that address those priority issues. The working group conducted interviews with outside experts regarding the expectations and demands on the Fujitsu Group, based on an awareness of global CSR standards and social issues.
Since 2015, we have seen a further ramping up of demand for initiatives aimed at responding to challenges on a global scale, including the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations and the coming into effect of the COP 21 Paris Agreement related to climate change. Based on the outcomes of a new analysis of the issues, in light of the business changes within the Fujitsu Group, we have also re-calibrated our sustainability issues and our framework for those issues under the banner of Global Responsible Business (GRB).
Global Responsible Business
The GRB framework aims to foster the mindset and corporate culture necessary to realize the Fujitsu Way by engaging in specific activities that address our priority issues and to earn and maintain the social trust that is a prerequisite for global business activities. All Group employees must be constantly aware that their companies are part of society and aim to not only pursue profits but also reduce the negative impact of their business activities on sustainability issues while maximizing the positive.
To achieve these objectives, we are undertaking specific actions toward achieving our targets by March 2026. Employees based at our headquarters, who are responsible for each of the priority issues, helped formulate these targets, while personnel in overseas regions with similar responsibilities also provided input in this regard. These actions will enable us to carry out activities at a higher level globally while still taking into account the differences between countries and regions in such areas as local laws and labor markets.
Raising Awareness and Disseminating Information Internally and Externally
To realize our corporate purpose, we engage in businesses that have a beneficial impact on resolving challenges in society, and to conduct our operations in a responsible manner throughout all business activities, we are implementing a range of measures to raise awareness and enhance our employees’ understanding of GRB. In addition, we disseminate information outside the company to convey to stakeholders the Fujitsu Group’s position on sustainability management and related initiatives.
- At internal and external events and presentations, we introduce the non-financial framework around Fujitsu’s sustainability management and explain how an executive leader has been appointed for each of the priority issues as we implement initiatives on a global basis.
- Employee understanding is further enhanced through our intranet sites in both Japanese and English, which are updated as required by GRB operations staff.
- We use engagement surveys and questionnaires at events to collect employee feedback relating to sustainability, and use that feedback to inform policy formulation and implementation both internally and externally.
- In terms of business involvement, we incorporate the GRB perspective in our proposal process to help our customers solve their sustainability-related management issues. Contents on GRB initiatives such as environment and well-being are included in the proposal materials provided to customers, as we work to promote further usage and deployment in frontline business interactions.
