The recent revision is designed to rally the Fujitsu Group around a common
vision, and contribute in a more concrete way to improving corporate value
and to society.
In April 2008, we fully revised The Fujitsu Way as a way to clarify the Group’s principles and values.
With this revision, we have expressed The Fujitsu Way in a manner that will better facilitate the
understanding of our vision, values and principles among all employees of the Group. Based on the
new Fujitsu Way, we will align the Group in a common direction to raise corporate value, and will
strive to realize a Fujitsu Group that further earns the trust of its shareholders, investors, customers
and business partners, and whose contribution is felt both globally and in the local communities
in which we operate. I also desire Fujitsu to be a company where our employees will find it reward-
ing to work and to be a company where they will be proud to work.
* Please refer to the inside cover (page 1) for details on the revised Fujitsu Way.
Q.11
Fujitsu recently drafted a
new version of the
Fujitsu Way*.
Does this suggest a new
vision for the company?
A.11
Better profitability in fiscal 2007 enabled us to pay a year-end dividend of ¥5 per share, up
¥2 from the previous fiscal year, for an annual dividend of ¥8 per share. For the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2009, we intend to pay an annual dividend of ¥10 per share. Our dividend levels have
finally returned to what they were prior to fiscal 2000. This dividend is not only a way of express-
ing our appreciation to shareholders for their understanding and support of Fujitsu’s operations,
but a sign that we are committed to enhancing profitability and pursuing further growth in the
coming years.
