Fujitsu Chosen for the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for 17th Time

Fujitsu today announced that it has been chosen for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World), the world's leading Socially Responsible Investment (SRI)⁽¹⁾ index. This is the 17th time for Fujitsu to have been included in this index since its creation in 1999.

DJSI World is a stock index offered cooperatively by US-based S&P Dow Jones Indices and Switzerland-based RobecoSAM Indices that selects companies for their excellent sustainability, based on an analysis from the perspective of economics, the environment, and society. Annually, 2,500 companies are eligible globally for selection, and from the perspective of sustainability, the top 10% of businesses per industry are chosen. In 2016, including Fujitsu, 316 companies were selected for DJSI World, 26 of them Japanese companies.

Fujitsu achieved high evaluations in its industry group on the basis of its economic efforts, such as innovation management and tax strategy, and its environmental efforts, including its environmental management system and ongoing activities to reduce burden on the environment.

Fujitsu will continue to advance business activities from the perspective of the environment, society, and governance (ESG), and as a truly global ICT company, further increase its efforts to contribute to the sustainable development of society and the Earth.
