Help to resolve environmental challenges for customers and society through our business operations

Fujitsu’s business aims to transform its portfolio and offerings by 2030, focusing on ESG contributions and Sustainability Transformation (SX). In line with its materiality focus on solving global environmental issues, Fujitsu provides a range of cross-industry offerings, from supply chain optimization through to energy efficiency. Notably, we are promoting the development of solutions and initiatives that contribute to SX, targeting both customers and society as part of our Stage XI Environmental Action Plan for 2023 to 2025. Below are examples of Fujitsu’s initiatives for helping to resolve environmental challenges for customers and society through its business.

Comprehensive Optimization Through Next-generation Dynamic Supply Chain Management

Supply Chain Management (SCM) encompasses the optimization of processes from the procurement of raw materials for products through to manufacturing, distribution and sales. Today, all aspects of SCM are undergoing significant changes, demanding adaptation from businesses. Companies are facing a rapidly changing environment  with new challenges, including heightened concerns for human rights, environmental protection, preparedness for future pandemics, and increasingly severe natural disasters that traditional SCM approaches are struggling to address. One key reason for this is the lack of integrated visualization and decision-making across the entire supply chain, hindering companies’ ability to make informed decisions. This highlights the urgent need for a transition to next-generation SCM that can respond to modern challenges quickly and flexibly.
Fujitsu provides Fujitsu Data Intelligence PaaS (DI PaaS) to realize business-specific AI. DI PaaS is a cloud-based all-in-one operation platform that integrates vast amounts of data from both inside and outside organizations into a meaningful format to support decision-making. It consists of four platforms: the world’s most advanced AI solution “Fujitsu Kozuchi”; the blockchain technology “Fujitsu Track and Trust” that enables traceability; Palantir Foundry for complex data integration, application development, and advanced AI; and data integration technologies such as Microsoft Azure. DI PaaS helps customers solve their challenges by enabling the integrated connection and analysis of data that has been fragmented across industries, leading to unprecedented cross-value chain solutions and insights.  Furthermore, by seamlessly linking these decision-making outcomes with Fujitsu's long-standing planning and execution systems, DI PaaS empowers autonomous operation of business processes from decision-making to action, enhancing agility and responsiveness to change.

Connecting data and stakeholders with trust to solve customer business challenges

As people become more conscious of environmental and societal issues, companies are being asked to provide products and services that are not only functional and high-quality, but that also have low environmental impact and are produced and distributed fairly.
This is particularly true in EU countries where, based on the European Green Deal policy, almost all products distributed are subject to Ecodesign regulations as part of a circular economy action plan (excluding some EU countries). The implementation of the Ecodesign regulations is accompanied by a Digital Product Passport (DPP) that will become mandatory in a few years. As an inescapable feature of continuing to conduct business in Europe, these regulations require a range of responses, including customs clearance.
We deliver large numbers of products to consumers via supply chains that span the globe, but to address the various demands outlined above, it is crucial that we provide highly trustworthy levels of traceability to ensure transparency in the transactions between our various stakeholders.
Fujitsu Track and Trust provides a traceability platform that leverages consulting and blockchain technology to solve challenges in customer businesses by quickly testing hypotheses to enable further growth. By providing traceability, Track and Trust enables cost reductions and greater efficiency in implementing the processes involved in raw materials procurement, product manufacturing and the downstream logistics. It can also be used to boost corporate and brand value by disclosing the enterprise’s contributions to achieving the SDGs to customers (ESG reports).

Connecting land, sea and air logistics data to enhance efficiency, flexibility and business sustainability

While logistics demand is forecast to increase, the logistics industry faces various challenges, including labor shortages, declining transportation capacity, diversification of transportation methods, and measures to reduce GHG emissions.
Fujitsu connects logistics information held by shippers and logistics companies through logistics data standardization services, enhancing efficiency, flexibility, and making business sustainable. It achieves both maximization of transportation capacity and reduction of GHG emissions through industry-wide operational efficiency, enabling resilient logistics that maximizes profits and can respond to not only natural disasters and conflicts, but also everyday changes.

Our approach to solutions
Resolving labor shortages: Optimize and standardize business planning and processes, and use forecasting as the basis for optimizing on-site operations in real time.
Improving transportation capacity: Optimize transportation equipment utilization plans based on cargo loading efficiency, relay efficiency, and future cargo volume forecasts.
Reducing environmental impact: Reduce GHG emissions by optimizing operational plans based on refueling/recharging plans, driving route selection and energy demand forecasts.

Contributing to sustainability through optimized energy use

The IoT Operations Cockpit supports rapid business decision-making by visualizing information acquired from various IoT sensors in real time, realizing reduced costs and environmental impact.

Service features

• Real-time visualization and analysis of energy usage
  Visualizes data such as energy usage collected from various IoT sensors in real time. Allows information from multiple stores to be centrally managed on a dashboard.
• Fault prediction and error detection using AI-based anomaly analysis
  Learns from collected and stored sensor data, and then uses AI to conduct anomaly analysis and predict faults. Anomalies can also be detected by setting a threshold value, which allows for the identification of equipment requiring maintenance in advance and the ability to take preventive measures.
• Contribution to sustainability through energy efficiency improvements
  By visualizing the operating status of lighting, refrigerators and air conditioning, users can clearly identify areas requiring energy reductions, which in turn assists with the upgrading of infrastructure and operations. This supports reductions in wasted energy consumption and promotes environmentally friendly corporate activities.
