Oceania Procurement Policy

Fujitsu Procurement Policy


We procure goods, software, contract resources and services that are needed for conducting business activities (“Procurement Items”) from various suppliers, for internal or to add value to them, and supply them to our customers as Fujitsu products or services. We do so after ensuring that Fujitsu cannot source these goods or services internally including through our sister companies globally.

We procure these items in a manner that adheres to ethical, economic, and environmental principles and we aim to realise the potential of our supply chain in driving positive social outcomes.

We work with suppliers to identify, mitigate, and manage risks. We are committed to ensuring there are adequate controls in place to eliminate or mitigate risks associated with purchasing or supplying goods and to reduce the likelihood of introducing new or additional hazards into the workplace associated with purchasing or hiring goods. We also encourage existing and potential suppliers to collaborate with us to drive best practice and continuous improvement.
