Sustainability Strategy and Goals

Fujitsu’s sustainability strategy operates through the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan (Stage XI), covering fiscal years 2023 to 2025, which sets binding targets across climate, resource circulation, biodiversity, and water stewardship. The strategy aligns with the UN SDGs, the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C pathway, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, with the SBTi certifying Fujitsu’s GHG reduction targets as 1.5°C-aligned in April 2021 and net-zero aligned in June 2023. Fujitsu’s Double Materiality and broader enterprise-level materiality assessment identifies six priority issues: climate change, resource circulation, digital inclusion, human rights, responsible supply chain, and governance.

The Fujitsu Uvance portfolio serves as the commercial vehicle for translating sustainability ambition into customer-facing solutions, covering four verticals: Trusted Society, Sustainable Manufacturing, Digital Shifts, and Business Applications. Uvance revenue grew 31% year-on-year in fiscal 2024 to 482.8 billion yen, demonstrating that sustainability-linked services are the company’s primary commercial growth engine.

Net Zero and Carbon Emissions

Fujitsu accelerated its carbon neutrality target in August 2023 from fiscal 2050 to fiscal 2030 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, twenty years ahead of the original plan. The company also set fiscal 2040 as its net-zero target for the full value chain including Scope 3 emissions, with the SBTi certifying the goal as net-zero aligned. The interim SBTi-approved targets require a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from the fiscal 2020 base year by fiscal 2030 and a 12.5% reduction in Scope 3 supply chain emissions over the same period.

Key milestones in fiscal 2024:

  • Total GHG emissions reached approximately 5.1 million tonnes CO2e, comprising 69,000 tonnes CO2e from Scope 1, 237,000 tonnes CO2e from Scope 2, and approximately 4.5 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 3
  • Fiscal 2024 achieved a 45.8% reduction in total GHG emissions (Scope 1) compared to the fiscal 2020 base year, tracking ahead of the 50% Scope 1 and 2 target for fiscal 2030
  • 68% of Fujitsu’s suppliers set emissions reduction targets based on the fiscal 2022 base year, a critical enabler for Scope 3 supply chain reductions
  • Fujitsu accelerated its renewable electricity sourcing target to 100% by fiscal 2030, twenty years ahead of the original fiscal 2050 schedule

Water Stewardship

Fujitsu tracks water withdrawal across its global operations, sourcing from groundwater and third-party municipal supplies with no surface water or seawater use reported. Total water withdrawals have declined from 6,975 megalitres in fiscal 2021 to 6,090 megalitres in fiscal 2023, a 12.7% reduction over two years reflecting ongoing efficiency improvements at data centers and manufacturing sites. Fujitsu’s Environmental Action Plan Stage XI includes water conservation targets across its supply chain, with the company raising awareness of water resource risks among suppliers as part of its annual Sustainable Procurement Policy review.

Key water data (fiscal 2023, the latest disaggregated year available):

  • Groundwater (renewable): 3,743 megalitres, down from 4,151 megalitres in fiscal 2021
  • Third-party municipal sources: 2,347 megalitres, down from 2,824 megalitres in fiscal 2021
  • Total withdrawals: 6,090 megalitres in fiscal 2023, representing a 12.7% reduction from the fiscal 2021 baseline of 6,975 megalitres

Deforestation and Biodiversity

Fujitsu’s Environmental Action Plan Stage XI sets a target to reduce negative impacts on biodiversity by at least 12.5% by fiscal 2025, aligned with Target 15 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 global targets. The company commits to achieving nature-positive outcomes by reducing negative biodiversity impacts and increasing positive impacts across corporate operations including supply chains. Fujitsu’s resource circulation program directly supports biodiversity goals by replacing plastic packaging with paper-based alternatives and targeting reusable plastics in ICT products, reducing dependency on virgin petrochemical inputs.

Packaging and Circular Economy

Fujitsu’s resource circulation program centers on three areas: reducing plastic waste at business sites, eliminating plastic packaging in favor of paper-based materials, and extending ICT product life cycles through reuse and refurbishment. The company achieved a reuse rate of over 90% for business-use ICT products, now maintained as an internal operational target rather than an external reporting milestone. Fujitsu is preparing for alignment with the EU Eco-Design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which introduces Carbon Footprint labeling, Digital Product Passports, and recyclability and repairability performance requirements for ICT products.

Key outcomes in fiscal 2024:

  • Plastic waste emissions from Fujitsu’s operations: 1.5 thousand tonnes in fiscal 2024, with a zero-emissions target set for plastics under Japan’s Act on Promotion of Resource Circulation for Plastics
  • Reuse rate for business-use ICT products: over 90%, maintained continuously
  • Fujitsu committed to switching from plastic to paper packaging materials across its ICT product lines, aligned with the ESPR and Japan’s circular economy legislation
  • Circular economy SaaS tools deployed through Fujitsu Uvance covering material passports, resource recovery ecosystems, excess inventory management, and circular product design

Human Rights and Responsible Sourcing

Fujitsu requires all suppliers to support the Fujitsu Group Human Rights Statement and comply with the Fujitsu Group Sustainable Procurement Policy, which incorporates the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. The company has been a member of the RBA since 2017, conducting both internal and supplier audits against RBA standards to eliminate human rights abuses and environmental degradation in the global supply chain. Fujitsu conducts an annual CSR Survey of major suppliers globally to verify compliance with human rights, health and safety, and environmental standards.

Key outcomes in fiscal 2024:

  • Written consent to the Sustainable Procurement Policy obtained from 482 suppliers in fiscal 2024
  • CSR Survey conducted with responses received from 609 suppliers
  • Confirmed through supplier surveys that no forced labor or child labor exists across responding suppliers
  • 68% of Fujitsu suppliers set GHG emissions reduction targets based on the fiscal 2022 base year, up from lower penetration in prior years
  • Human Rights e-learning courses maintained at a 90% or higher attendance rate among Fujitsu employees globally

Digital Inclusion and Social Impact

Fujitsu’s digital inclusion strategy focuses on expanding digital accessibility and ICT skills training as part of its vision to develop a digital society. The company tracks digital accessibility impact across its technology deployments and sets quantified targets for the number of people receiving ICT skills training and the number of people supported through digital accessibility initiatives. Fujitsu frames digital inclusion as a direct output of the Fujitsu Uvance portfolio, positioning technology transformation as an enabler of social equity alongside commercial returns.

Key outcomes in fiscal 2024:

  • Digital accessibility impact: 150 million people reached through Fujitsu’s accessible technology products and services
  • ICT skills training: 12 million people received ICT skills training through Fujitsu-supported programs
  • 20% of Fujitsu Group employees participated in community activities including donations, social issue investments, and skills-based volunteering programs
  • Fujitsu Uvance revenue grew 31% year-on-year to 482.8 billion yen in fiscal 2024, with Sustainable Manufacturing and Trusted Society verticals as primary growth drivers

Community and Social Impact

Fujitsu’s community program connects employee volunteering, corporate donations, and technology-for-good partnerships to three overarching outcomes: solving global environmental issues, developing a digital society, and improving people’s well-being. The company builds collaborative partnerships with NGOs, governments, and customers to address social challenges using Fujitsu’s technology expertise. Community activities are tracked as both input metrics (employee participation rates) and outcome metrics (number of people impacted through digital skills and accessibility programs).

Governance and Transparency

Fujitsu’s governance framework integrates sustainability into executive performance evaluation through the Medium-Term Management Plan for fiscal 2023 to 2025, which links non-financial targets to business performance metrics. The company reports against SBTi-certified targets, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics, with independent assurance on GHG emissions data. Key non-financial KPIs set for the Medium-Term Management Plan include a Customer Net Promoter Score increase of 20 points, an employee engagement score of 75 or above, and diverse leadership representation.

Key governance outcomes in fiscal 2024:

  • Fujitsu Integrated Report 2025 published with independent assurance on environmental data
  • SBTi Net-Zero certification obtained June 2023, validated against a fiscal 2020 base year for both Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality by 2030 and full value chain net zero by 2040
  • Fujitsu’s Environmental Action Plan Stage XI (FY2023 to FY2025) formally reviewed and results published in the Sustainability Data Book 2025
  • Compliance management identified as one of the most important management issues from the perspective of maintaining and improving corporate value

Technology and Innovation

Fujitsu’s Fujitsu Uvance portfolio positions the company as a technology provider for sustainability transformation, covering track-and-trace supply chain tools, Digital Product Passports, SaaS for circular design, and AI-driven resource recovery ecosystems. The company is actively developing technologies to address AI-driven energy demand growth, recognizing that intelligent computing infrastructure creates new energy consumption pressures that require efficiency innovation at the chip and system level. Fujitsu also invests in quantum computing research as a long-term platform for solving complex optimization problems in logistics, energy grids, and materials science.

Challenges and Areas for Improvement

Fujitsu faces four material sustainability challenges requiring structured responses in the next planning cycle.

Scope 3 concentration risk: Scope 3 emissions account for approximately 88% of Fujitsu’s total GHG footprint at 4.5 million tCO2e in fiscal 2024. The SBTi-approved interim target requires only a 12.5% Scope 3 supply chain reduction by fiscal 2030, which is less ambitious than Scope 1 and 2 targets proportionally, and the 68% supplier target-setting rate leaves 32% of key suppliers without a reduction commitment. Closing this gap requires Fujitsu to move from consent-based supplier engagement to verified emission reduction outcomes within the next two to three years.

Renewable electricity coverage gap: Fujitsu achieved 100% renewable electricity in New Zealand and 46% in Australia in fiscal 2024, but has not publicly confirmed a global Group-level renewable electricity percentage for the same period. With a fiscal 2030 target of 100% renewable electricity across all operations globally, and only two years to the target year remaining at the time of the next reporting cycle, the absence of a confirmed global figure creates an accountability gap. Disclosure of a consolidated Group-level renewable energy percentage is the minimum disclosure standard required to assess progress on this commitment.

Biodiversity target verification: Fujitsu set a target to reduce negative biodiversity impacts by at least 12.5% by fiscal 2025 under Environmental Action Plan Stage XI. The fiscal 2025 year-end results have not yet been publicly confirmed in English-language reporting, and no baseline methodology or measurement framework has been disclosed in sufficient detail to allow third-party verification. This is a disclosure gap that the incoming Environmental Action Plan Stage XII must address with a transparent biodiversity measurement methodology.

AI energy demand offset: Fujitsu explicitly identifies growing AI infrastructure energy demand as a sustainability risk that its technology development must address. As Uvance’s Sustainable Manufacturing and Digital Shifts verticals grow, the computational infrastructure required to support these services will expand, and Fujitsu has not publicly disclosed a data center power usage effectiveness (PUE) trajectory or an AI compute energy efficiency target. This gap will grow in materiality as AI revenue scales.

Future Plans and Long-Term Goals

Fujitsu’s long-term roadmap is anchored on two verified milestones: carbon neutrality for its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by fiscal 2030, and net-zero emissions across the full value chain (Scope 3) by fiscal 2040. The Environmental Action Plan Stage XII, expected to cover fiscal years 2026 to 2028, will define the next cycle of binding targets for climate, resource circulation, biodiversity, and water, building on Stage XI’s results.

By fiscal 2030, Fujitsu targets:

  • Zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from own business operations (carbon neutrality)
  • 12.5% reduction in Scope 3 supply chain emissions from the fiscal 2020 base year
  • 100% renewable electricity across all Group operations globally
  • Full plastic packaging elimination in favor of paper-based alternatives across ICT product lines
  • Alignment with ESPR Digital Product Passport requirements for ICT products sold in the EU
  • 12.5% reduction in negative biodiversity impacts (Stage XI target, to be renewed under Stage XII)

By fiscal 2040, Fujitsu targets:

  • Net-zero GHG emissions across the full value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), validated by SBTi

Fujitsu leads Japanese IT peers on the pace of Scope 1 and 2 decarbonization and on the depth of its circular economy services integration within the Uvance commercial portfolio. It trails peers like NEC on the pace of Scope 3 supply chain reduction ambition, where NEC has set a more aggressive 50% Scope 3 reduction target by fiscal 2031.

Comparisons to Industry Competitors

Fujitsu’s two primary Japanese IT competitors with published and verifiable ESG data are NEC Corporation and Hitachi. All three are large-cap Japanese technology companies with net-zero commitments, but differ on target years, SBTi validation status, and Scope 3 ambition levels.

Fujitsu vs. NEC vs. Hitachi Digital Services

Fujitsu holds the most advanced Scope 1 and 2 reduction trajectory among these three peers, with a 45.8% absolute reduction from fiscal 2020 already achieved, tracking toward its fiscal 2030 carbon neutrality goal. NEC’s SBTi-approved Scope 3 target of 50% reduction by fiscal 2031 is four times more ambitious than Fujitsu’s 12.5% Scope 3 target for fiscal 2030, representing a significant gap in supply chain decarbonization commitment. Hitachi trails both Fujitsu and NEC on net-zero ambition, targeting fiscal 2050 rather than 2040 or 2041, and has not published an SBTi-validated target at the group level.

What to Watch: 12 to 18 Month Indicators

Three forward-looking signals will most directly determine whether Fujitsu’s sustainability standing improves, holds, or deteriorates through mid-2027.

1. Global renewable electricity confirmation in the FY2025 disclosure (due 2026): Fujitsu targets 100% renewable electricity by fiscal 2030. The fiscal 2025 Sustainability Data Book, expected in mid-2026, will be the first report to confirm whether Fujitsu is publishing a consolidated Group-level renewable electricity percentage that covers all global operations. Confirmation of a figure above 60% would signal the company is on a credible trajectory. Continued absence of a global consolidated figure would represent a material disclosure gap with two years to its fiscal 2030 target.

2. Environmental Action Plan Stage XII target ambition (FY2026 release): Fujitsu’s current Environmental Action Plan Stage XI covers fiscal 2023 to 2025, ending in March 2025. Stage XII, expected to be published in fiscal 2026, will reveal whether Fujitsu raises its Scope 3 supply chain reduction target above the current 12.5%, which sits well below the NEC benchmark of 50% by fiscal 2031. The ambition level of Stage XII will determine whether Fujitsu narrows or widens the Scope 3 gap relative to Japanese IT peers and global ICT sector expectations.

3. Fujitsu Uvance Scope 3 alignment and AI compute energy disclosure: Uvance revenue reached 482.8 billion yen in fiscal 2024, growing at 31% per year, with AI and digital transformation services as primary growth drivers. As Uvance scales, the data center and compute infrastructure supporting these services will generate growing Scope 3 emissions from purchased energy and hardware. Fujitsu has flagged AI energy demand as a known risk but has not published a data center PUE target or an AI compute energy efficiency commitment. The fiscal 2026 disclosure will indicate whether Fujitsu has moved from risk acknowledgment to a quantified mitigation target on AI energy use.

https://global.fujitsu/en-global/sustainability/reports

Fujitsu’s fiscal 2024 sustainability performance shows a company executing well on its own-operations decarbonization agenda. The 45.8% Scope 1 reduction from the fiscal 2020 base year is a substantive result that puts the fiscal 2030 carbon neutrality target within reach if renewable electricity sourcing accelerates globally. The Uvance commercial portfolio’s 31% revenue growth demonstrates that sustainability-as-a-service is Fujitsu’s most commercially productive growth vector, creating alignment between financial performance and environmental purpose that most technology companies have not achieved at this scale.

The Scope 3 supply chain ambition remains the clearest strategic gap. A 12.5% Scope 3 reduction target by fiscal 2030 is structurally insufficient when peer NEC has committed to 50% Scope 3 reduction by fiscal 2031 under the same SBTi framework. With 68% of suppliers now setting GHG targets, the structural foundations for a more ambitious Scope 3 commitment are in place. Fujitsu’s incoming Environmental Action Plan Stage XII is the single most important governance event for the company’s sustainability credibility over the next 18 months.

Three strategic takeaways for practitioners benchmarking or replicating Fujitsu’s approach:

  • Fujitsu’s model of embedding circular economy tools directly into a revenue-generating commercial portfolio (Uvance) rather than treating them as a separate CSR program provides a replicable structure for technology companies seeking to commercialize sustainability competencies
  • The 90% ICT product reuse rate, maintained as a continuous internal operational target rather than a public reporting milestone, demonstrates that circular product standards can be institutionalized to the point where they no longer require external reporting pressure to sustain
  • Fujitsu’s supplier GHG target-setting engagement, which brought 68% of key suppliers to a formal GHG commitment in fiscal 2024, provides a template for staged supply chain decarbonization that begins with policy consent and progresses to verified target-setting before moving to outcome monitoring
