Collaboration with External Parties

During these times, the challenges facing society and the environment have grown in number. The principle that companies have a responsibility to all of their stakeholders has spread worldwide, to include not just customers and investors, but employees, suppliers, and communities of all sizes.

Fujitsu supports this principle and is working towards the realization of a sustainable society, acting in conjunction with international organizations and a variety of like-minded companies.

Involvement with the World Economic Forum (WEF)

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a not-for-profit foundation established by economist Klaus Schwab that engages in programs to improve the state of the world through cooperation between the public and private sectors in a spirit of global citizenship. It offers a venue for close collaboration among leaders from a diverse range of major international institutions as well as from the business world, government, academia and society, with the aim of shaping global, regional and industry-based agendas.

In January 2025, the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (commonly known as the Davos Conference) was held in Davos, Switzerland.
Under the theme “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,” there were discussions about how to avoid the “Fragmentation Age” caused by geoeconomic rifts and geopolitical polarization; and rather how we can cooperate to find achievable, human-centric solutions for the “Intelligent Age.” Additionally, there were discussions about how we can rebuild harmonious innovation capabilities for dealing with shared issues, such as escaping from the current low-growth, high-debt global economy, climate change, and ethical use of AI.
Also, for the third year, Fujitsu set up its own facility on-site called “Fujitsu Uvance House,” a rarity for Japanese corporations, where we announced the “Net Positive Promotion Program,” developed jointly with Economist Impact, and held panel discussions jointly with partners. With these events, we worked to strengthen relationships with the ever-important management layer of our customers, as well as to expand our network with government officials and top corporate executives from all countries.
As a member of the World Economic Forum, the Fujitsu Group will work to lead the formation of a global consensus to realize the themes discussed at the Annual Meeting held in January 2025, by aligning Forum’s global agenda with the Fujitsu Group’s material issues, as a net-positive technology company.

Involvement with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)

The WBCSD logo

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is an international organization with members from more than 250 companies from around the world. Fujitsu has been participating in the WBCSD since 2013, and Fujitsu executives have served in positions such as vice chair and director since 2018 to help realize WBCSD’s vision (*1) by working with member companies to accelerate change through business activities.
By participating in a wide range of WBCSD initiatives, Fujitsu is working to enhance mutual knowledge across fields with various organizations and companies, consider the best methods for sustainable development, and engage in activities to put those methods into practice.

Main Initiatives

Sustainable and resilient transportation and promotion of mobility through multi-modality (*2): Along with WBCSD and Arcadis, a consulting company in the Netherlands, Fujitsu has proven the efficacy of enhancing mobility hub prediction precision and reduction and optimization of investment risk by leveraging data obtained from various information sources, including shared mobility data and transportation data. It was demonstrated that by streamlining the placement of mobility hubs, CO₂ emissions were reduced by as much as 12.6%, and hub usage rage improved by 13.5%.
Calculation method for CO₂ emissions and rule-making in corporate data collaborations: In order to achieve “Net Zero” in the value chain, Fujitsu participates in the WBCSD’s Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT). In 2023, we achieved transparency in the real amount of CO₂ emissions across the entire supply chain through the “PACT Implementation Program,” the world’s first company-backed program for achieving inter-corporate data sharing of information on product carbon footprints (below, “PCF”). Additionally, beginning in FY2024, we have been implementing inter-corporate data sharing of CO₂ emissions for PCFs utilizing real data from 12 global suppliers, as we work toward transparency and reduction in the CO₂ emissions for raw materials that we buy.
We participate in a working group in Circular Products and Materials, wherein we are formulating transparency indices for and sharing data on corporate initiatives related to circular economy, and contributing to creation of a Global Circularity Protocol (GCP).

We will continue to actively collaborate with the WBCSD, which shares common direction with the Fujitsu Group's purpose, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable future.

*2: Multi-modality: Utilizing a combination of a variety of transportation means, such as walking, bicycles, public transportation, shared mobility, etc.

Miscellaneous

As we look to solve the issues of climate change (carbon neutral), resource circulation (circular economy), and coexistence with nature (nature-positive), Fujitsu participates in the following rule-making initiatives. By participating proactively from the rule-making stage, we aim to enhance the marketability of products by developing them based on international rules and global standards. Through such product offerings, we can achieve solutions for cross-industry social problems which wouldn’t be solvable by a single company.
