To maintain the effectiveness of our human rights due diligence, we conduct regular human rights impact assessments across our business. These assessments facilitate continuous improvement in identifying, preventing, and mitigating any negative impacts on human rights across Fujitsu’s value chain, including our suppliers, partners, and customers.

In March 2024, Fujitsu invited human rights experts from the United Nations Development Programme and the Caux Round Table to provide feedback and suggestions on promoting human rights. This collaboration ensures an ongoing assessment and understanding of the impact of Fujitsu’s activities on human rights, leading to updates in the Fujitsu Group Human Rights Statement.

Fujitsu’s commitment to reinforcing human rights is reflected in our dedication to fair working conditions and non-discrimination. Initiatives such as flexible working hours and remote work support a better work-life balance for our employees. We conduct regular employee engagement surveys to assess our work environment. We also provide education on human rights, unconscious and conscious bias, prevention of harassment in the workplace, and region-specific as required.

We celebrate diversity and promote inclusion through many activities and initiatives that honour the wide range of culture, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, and other characteristics represented among our employees. We annually commemorate Human Rights Day on 10th December with several initiatives around the globe. Our objective is to advocate for Human Rights across the business, as well as increase employee knowledge on human rights. Events on this day include webinars on work-life balance, and on empathy, targeted educational outreach on human rights within our supply chains, and in-person discussion groups – ultimately promoting equality, justice, and dignity for all.

Much of this impactful work is driven by Fujitsu’s activists, particularly through the Pride Network in Global Delivery, which places equity, diversity and inclusion at its core. This network strives to dismantle barriers and foster an increasingly inclusive environment for all employees.
