Coexistence with local communities and society as a good corporate citizen is an important policy guiding the Fujitsu Group’s
actions. Our goal is to fulfill our responsibility to the sustainable development of society, generating benefits for all our stakeholders,
including customers, shareholders, employees, business partners, global and local communities, public institutions and governments,
while at the same time realizing the growth of the Fujitsu Group.
Approach to Social Contribution Activities
Guided by a commitment to “protect the environment and contribute to society,” which is enshrined in the Fujitsu Way, the Fujitsu Group
strives to help realize a prosperous society through its business activities as a good corporate citizen. Specifically, through activities encom-
passing culture and the arts, corporate sponsorship of sports, programs to nurture young people, support of international exchange, and
local events, the Group strives to coexist in harmony with society by developing deep roots in the communities in which it operates.
Promoting Coexistence With Global and Local Communities
United States
Fujitsu Technology Grant Program
Fujitsu Computer Products of America established the Fujitsu Technology
Grant Program in May 2006. This program seeks to contribute to society by
providing Fujitsu products to local communities and NPOs that lack the finan-
cial resources to purchase the latest IT technologies on their own. The pro-
gram chose to donate products to 39 recognized groups active in the fields
of medicine, the environment, education and the arts. In fiscal 2007, Fujitsu
Computer Products of America completed the program by installing the
donated equipment.
APAC & China
Participation in Corporate and Schools
Partnership Program
Singapore-based subsidiary Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia is a corporate part-
ner for Princess Elizabeth Primary School in Singapore as a participant in
the government’s Corporate and Schools Partnership Program. The school
recently sponsored an eco-shopping bag logo contest, after which eco-bags
emblazoned with the winning logo were sold to the students’ parents. Pro-
ceeds from the eco-bag sales were donated back to the program. The school
also developed an eco-cistern system, which eliminates the need for water
refills for two years. In fiscal 2007, the invention took third place in Singapore’s
“Clean & Green School Environment Project,”
with Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia receiving
a citation from the government alongside
the school as its corporate partner.
Japan
Japan-America Institute of Management
Science (JAIMS)
Established in Honolulu by Fujitsu in 1972, JAIMS is a not-for-profit post-
graduate educational institute whose mission is to cultivate leaders who can
fulfill their potential on the global stage. Over 22,000 people from roughly 54
countries have already benefited from JAIMS courses. Thanks to the intercul-
tural communication abilities, business skills and global contacts they
acquired through their JAIMS education, many alumni are now playing an
active role in various capacities in countries worldwide. In recognition of its
many years of promoting international
exchange, JAIMS was awarded the 2006
Foreign Minister’s Commendation in 2006.
EMEA
Initiatives Emphasizing Education,
Young People, and Health
UK-based subsidiary Fujitsu Services promotes social contribution activities
that revolve around the areas of education, young people, and health. In
education, the subsidiary is involved in educational support programs for
elementary and junior high school students in the UK and South Africa. For
youths, Fujitsu Services provides assistance to the less fortunate as a sup-
porter of Prince’s Trust, a local charitable organization. And in health, in addi-
tion to purchasing sports equipment for
donation to local sports clubs, employees
from Fujitsu Services take part in the London
Marathon and other charitable events, gift-
ing collected donations to a variety of chari-
table causes.
