Social Contribution Activities
With Global and Local Communities
Maintaining Good Relations with Local Communities through Social Contribution Activities
As a good corporate citizen, Fujitsu believes in the importance of maintaining harmony with local communities and society at large. As a
company, Fujitsu has strong connections with local communities around the world, and is therefore actively involved in a wide variety of
activities that contribute to society. These activities focus on educational programs for young people to help them prepare for their future
roles in society, promotion of cultural activities and the arts, sponsorship for corporate sports, support for international exchange, communi-
cations with local communities, and environmental preservation.
“Health Keeper” Program
Fujitsu Advanced Solutions Limited hires graduates of schools for the visually impaired to serve as
company health care providers. Working as “health keepers,” they help other employees to recover
from fatigue and manage their health with massage therapy services. The program has been
ongoing since 2004.
Not only does the therapy help the company’s system engineers physically recover from the
day-to-day stress of their work, conversations with the health keepers also helps refresh the mind.
The program has been very popular with employees and is starting to spread to other R&D-
oriented companies in the Fujitsu Group. It represents a new type of social contribution activity
that is also significant for increasing employment of people with disabilities and has been warmly
received by schools for people with visual impairments as a valuable job creation program.

Support for Elementary Schools and Students
In the United Kingdom, Fujitsu’s Impact on Society (IOS) program organizes volunteer groups at
each of its major business locations. As a part of this program, employees visited elementary
schools in the Midlands and Manchester, and participated in “Give and Gain Days.” They helped
children improve their reading skills by playing language games with some 80 children ages six
to eight.
In South Africa, Fujitsu Group companies in the U.K., Germany and South Africa teamed up
to install a “PlayPump Water System” at Uitschot Primary School, a school of 500 students in
Vermaas, South Africa. PlayPump enables children to pump water out of the ground as they play,
which provides the school with a supply of fresh, clean water.

Public Awareness-Raising in Quebec, Canada
Jean Provencher, a consultant with Fujitsu in Canada, established the non-profit sustainability
organization Carrefour TerraTerre in May 2007, to educate the public on the values associated
with sustainable development.
The organization works to make people’s lifestyles socially responsible and sustainable. With
the support of Fujitsu and other corporations, Carrefour TerraTerre holds lectures, seminars, film
screenings, and other events—all free of charge. To expand the scope of these activities and raise
the social and environmental awareness of people and companies in the midst of their day-to-
day activities, an environmental committee at Fujitsu’s Quebec office was established and to
continue promoting this initiative as a part of Fujitsu’s responsibility to society.

Supporting and Engaging the Socially Vulnerable
In May 2009, Fujitsu employees in Australia responded to a request for volunteers from the
Ardoch Youth Foundation, an organization that provides support for children and families at risk
due to homelessness, domestic violence, or drug abuse. The company’s employees helped bring
children to Mahogany Rise Primary School in Melbourne, Australia, and also participated in a field
trip to the Melbourne Zoo.
In October 2009, Fujitsu employees working near Perth, Australia, joined with the charity
United Way West Australia and visited St. Bartholomew’s House, a facility that helps people living
in poverty. Employees prepared 75 barbeque dinners and spent time with people at the facility.
