IV. Basic Stance on Internal Control Framework and Status of Implementation
[Basic Stance on Internal Control Framework]
The Company, through a resolution by the Board of Directors, has adopted the following basic stance on the framework for internal
control (resolved on May 25, 2006, and revised on April 28, 2008*2).
1. Objective
The Fujitsu Way, which embodies the philosophy, values, principles and code of conduct for the Fujitsu Group, describes the vision
of the Fujitsu Group as follows: “Through our constant pursuit of innovation, the Fujitsu Group aims to contribute to the creation of
a networked society that is rewarding and secure, bringing about a prosperous future that fulfills the dreams of people throughout
the world.”
We believe that by conducting our activities in accordance with the Fujitsu Way, we maximize the value of the Fujitsu Group and
enhance our contribution to the communities in which we operate and to society as a whole.
In addition, in order to continuously enhance the corporate value of the Fujitsu Group, it is necessary to pursue management
efficiency and control risk arising from our business activities. Recognizing that it is essential to strengthen our corporate governance
in order to accomplish this, we will continuously strive to implement the policies described below.
2. Systems to ensure the appropriateness of Fujitsu and Fujitsu Group business
(1) System to ensure efficient business execution by directors
a. At Fujitsu, there is a separation of the oversight and operational execution functions of management. The Board of Directors
oversees the execution functions of the Management Council and other management bodies, and makes decisions on impor-
tant matters. Among executive organs, the Management Council discusses and decides upon basic management policies and
strategies and also decides upon important matters regarding management execution. Matters taken up by the Management
Council, including discussion items, are reported to the Board of Directors, and any important issues are decided upon by the
Board of Directors.
