All About You
Office of Purpose
The Office of Purpose (OOP) drives strategy and guides implementation through executive level collaboration across environmental sustainability, diversity, equity and inclusion, and social impact – including supplier diversity and First Nations partnerships.
The OOP works with a network of dedicated colleagues in 6 advisory groups, as well as colleagues across Australia and New Zealand, to share ideas, solve challenges and work towards best practice.
Our focus areas and advisory groups are led by passionate and committed volunteers from across our business. They include: Fujitsu Pride, Gender, Disability, Culture and Reconciliation (Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group and the Māori and Pacific Peoples Inclusion Plan Advisory Group), Generational & Veterans and Emergency Response.
Building upon Fujitsu's strong foundation of conducting responsible business with a focus on environmental sustainability, the OOP has now turned its attention to creating greater impact through our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion across all areas of the business.
We aim to create an inclusive culture where diverse people can come together and feel empowered to do great things. I know that when I feel a sense of belonging, I feel comfortable to bring my whole self to work, I am able to perform better and enjoy my work more.

Fujitsu is committed to reviewing gender pay gaps annually. In the past few years, Fujitsu has maintained pay equity with the most recent 2022-23 WGEA compliance reporting showing a relatively small 2% pay gap (average total remuneration) and 5.3% (median base salary) favouring men over women. While this is significantly lower than the industry benchmark of 11.6%, Fujitsu believes that all gender pay gaps are unacceptable. Find out more about our gender gap commitment
