Introduction

A welcome from
the president

For the Fujitsu Group’s continued viability, it is crucial that we bear in mind the future of global society and we undertake a transformation of our management methodologies and corporate systems in order to respond to the expectations of stakeholders. I believe the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in this process should be based on the concept of technology making people happier, and in our business activities we must maximise the positive elements and minimise any negative elements.

The trend of digital transformation is accelerating and a core growth strategy for the Fujitsu Group is to realise “connected services”, thereby creating global ecosystems that encompass a broad range of stakeholders, including academic institutions, international agencies and other organisations – in addition to our customers. We must flexibly transform our own activities and business approaches to optimise the new value that we create, while aligning our thought processes with other parties on a global level.

In this regard, one critical consideration is the set of common global goals to be achieved by 2030 that was defined by the United Nations as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Fujitsu Group has positioned these SDGs as a key element in realising its connected services offerings and is focused on a unified viewpoint with stakeholders for Digital CoCreation that will help to meet these common global targets. Furthermore, the 160,000 members of the Fujitsu Group worldwide share the same objectives and are working through their daily business activities to scale up the beneficial impacts to customers and society. To ensure ongoing sustainable operations, the Fujitsu Group supports and is a signatory to the UN Global Compact’s 10 Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption. Our corporate activities are focused on minimising any negative outcomes for society and we are committed to reviewing and improving our socially responsible activities. In terms of compliance, we have implemented the Global Compliance Program throughout the Fujitsu Group to firmly establish a corporate culture where all executives and managers continue to lead each and every employee around the world in an environment with zero tolerance for any wrongdoing.

In this way, by integrating CSR as an essential part of our management and business practices, we are employing digital transformation to meet the expectations of customers and society, thereby helping to create a more prosperous society for all.

What are the SDGs?

The SDGs, or Sustainable Development Goals, are 17 targets developed by the United Nations that aim to bring benefits to people and the planet. Each is designed to create positive outcomes for society, primarily through eradicating poverty, delivery equality and protecting the environment. Importantly, these goals not only require input from organisations like the United Nations, but also cooperation from national governments, civil society, and private organisations. Here at Fujitsu GSDU, we’re passionate about playing our part by having a positive impact on as many of the 17 SDGs as possible.

The wider Fujitsu Group is focused on Goals 2, 3, 9 and 11 as the areas where it can deliver the biggest impact, and is working on business initiatives as detailed in the graphic below. Given the diverse environments our GDCs operate in, and the wide variety of local needs experienced by our local communities, at Fujitsu GSDU we’re looking to deliver value to many different goals. This is why it’s great that all our employees are aware of the SDGs, and helping us work towards making these bold ambitions a reality!
