Fujitsu Limited

Kawasaki, Japan, January 14, 2025

Fujitsu Limited today announced that it has been named Grand Prize Company by the Japan Association of Corporate Directors as part of its Corporate Governance of the Year 2024 awards. The award recognizes Fujitsu's excellence in corporate governance among 1,643 Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market-listed companies (1) that have achieved sustainable, long-term growth through effective corporate governance.
Established in fiscal year 2015, the award program supports companies demonstrating healthy, long-term growth through strong corporate governance.
This is the first time Fujitsu has received this prestigious award. The Selection Committee Members recognized Fujitsu's successful transformation into a DX company, achieved through Fujitsu’s Board of Directors' continuous improvement of its governance structure, strengthening independence, and incorporating diverse perspectives.

Corporate Governance of the Year

Yo Ota, Partner at Nishimura Asahi, comments:

“Fujitsu is characterized by its incorporation of diverse viewpoints on its Board of Directors. The Board is chaired by an independent director who is supported by a non-executive internal director. The Board is made up of a majority of independent directors and investors have also been invited to join. It is highly commendable that Fujitsu has been able to establish such a governance structure, while undergoing its shift from a hardware-oriented company to a services-oriented company, and that the company has fully made the transition from being a Japanese Traditional Company (JTC) to a Japanese Transformational Company.”

Fujitsu Corporate Governance

Fujitsu recognizes that corporate governance is an indispensable mechanism for the management to accomplish its mission in fulfilling the trust of shareholders. In addition, in its revised Materiality formulated in 2023, Fujitsu identified governance and compliance as key elements forming the foundation for sustainable development. Fujitsu is committed to continuously reviewing its corporate governance, enhancing disclosure to facilitate collaboration with shareholders and all other stakeholders, and promoting constructive dialogue with shareholders. Through these efforts, Fujitsu aims to uphold the trust placed in Fujitsu by its shareholders.
