●Management reform to realize net positivity
While sustainability initiatives are being promoted, it is also true that many companies feel that they are forced to choose between balancing corporate profitability (Note 1), and achieving sustainability. This is where the "net positivity" mentioned above becomes important. Net positivity is a concept that aims not only to minimize the negative impact of corporate activities, but also have a positive impact on society and the environment.
In an era of complexity, companies have a responsibility to create value with more innovative approaches and contribute to a sustainable future. Based on the purpose of "bringing trust to society through innovation and making the world more sustainable," Fujitsu is working to maximize its positive impact on the environment, society, and the economy through its corporate activities. For Fujitsu, net positivity is defined as "Fujitsu, which exists in society, not only maximizes financial returns, but also works on the materialities of solving global environmental problems, developing a digital society, and improving people's well-being, and has a positive impact on society as a whole through technology and innovation." In terms of climate change measures, we aim to achieve "net positive" by 2030 and "net zero throughout the value chain" by fiscal 2040 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from corporate activities to virtually zero.
