Big Ticket Items and Key Responsible Business Aims 26

In Pursuit of ‘Success’ on the Path to Creating a Sustainable Society The world is currently undergoing enormous change as a result of digital transformation. We expect leading-edge technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), to generate improvements in our daily lives and make the world a better place. I feel that, just as this revolution was triggered by people, the impetus for ongoing digital transformation lies with the human connection. In this context, the Fujitsu Group is pursuing 'connected services' with the objective of shaping digital ecosystems that link research institutions, international agencies and other organisations – in addition to our customers and partners.

At Fujitsu, we firmly believe that technology enables people’s happiness and wellbeing. We are committed to using the power of ICT to help resolve social problems as we continue on the path toward a sustainable society. My view is that accelerating the pace of innovation to respond to societal expectations and demands will scale-up the beneficial impacts to people and society as a whole, while also contributing to the achievement of common global goals such as the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Further, the Fujitsu Group supports and is a signatory to the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption. To ensure on-going sustainable operations, I have initiated various measures aimed at minimising any negative outcomes for people and society that result from our corporate activities. In terms of compliance, we are consolidating our global corporate culture, enabling all executives and managers to continue to lead by example in an environment that does not allow for exceptions and has zero tolerance for any wrongdoing.

The Fujitsu Group always reflects on its approach and practices and aims to help resolve social problems by harnessing the strengths generated by connecting people and society and then by linking those strengths with the power of ICT, thereby creating "success" as we work toward a sustainable society..

Page 3: Responsible Business Report 2018 - Fujitsu€¦ · revolution was triggered by people, the impetus for ongoing digital transformation lies with the human connection. In this context,

For the past 8 years we have reported annually on our progress against our Responsible Business strategy and detailed action plans.

This year’s Responsible Business Report looks at the key deliverables as we continue our journey to serve our customers, partners and communities with openness, sustainability, fairness and inclusion.

Fujitsu’s leadership team is clear on it’s task. To behave as the company we want to be, we must embed responsible thinking in every task, product, service and interaction.

Policies, processes and active campaigns are an important part of the mix, the core challenge is to ensure responsible behaviour is apparent in everything we do.

We have to question our practices, challenge our assumptions and continually strive to improve the way we work. And we must engage all colleagues in our Values to deliver the Fujitsu Way.

If anyone in Fujitsu finds themselves forgetting to ask what’s right – then that’s wrong. Our goal is always to win business the right way.

We are here to sell services and grow sales – all within an ethical approach.

This report covers a lot of ground, with more than 7,000 employees in the UK and Ireland, there are a lot of stories to tell.

The purpose of this report is to communicate our progress, share our learning with all our stakeholders and introduce our future commitments.

My key learning as executive sponsor and Chair of the Responsible Business Board is - there is always more to do.

Responsible Business at a Glance

Executive SummaryFujitsu is one of the world’s five largest global providers of IT solutions, with over 140,000 employees serving customers in more than 100 countries with a unique Japanese heritage.

We have an 80-year history of being a responsible business, consistently featured in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, FTSE4Good Index and the UN Global Compact 100.

In the UK and Ireland, we serve customers in national, local and devolved government as well as private sector companies. Our technology touches the lives of millions of people every day.

Fujitsu does not engage in any aggressive tax planning, tax avoidance schemes or offshore tax structures to artificially reduce the amount of tax it pays. Paying tax in country is responsible.

This report details our activities and achievements in 2018. It highlights our progress and looks to the road ahead.

UK&I Highlights ■ We spend around £640 million every year with some 1,400 suppliers across the UK. We drive our values throughout our supply chain, monitoring for human rights and modern day slavery.

■ 40% of our supply chain are small and medium sized enterprises, and account for 20% of our tier one spend. A quarter of these suppliers are located in the most deprived areas.

■ 95 new jobs created went to people under the age of 25. This group includes 19 apprentices, 38 graduates and 1 industrial placement student.

■ Our IT lifecycle has reuse rates of over 99%, split between remarketing and recycling, against the statutory requirement rate of 75 %.

■ 546 solar panels installed on one building, saving 41 tonnes of CO2 in emissions. This 150 kW solar array is part of our commitment to install 200 kW of renewable energy across our UK buildings.

■ Achieved 100% renewable direct electricity supplies.

■ Awarded the Carbon Trust’s Best in Large Company Carbon Management award.

■ Fujitsu volunteers collected over 120 bin bags of plastics and general waste from local communities whilst supporting World Clean Up Day.

■ We achieved zero waste to landfill this year.

■ 40 STEM Ambassadors are currently working to develop the creativity, problem-solving and employability skills of the next generation.

The AND GameFujitsu has four core objectives:

Results Deliver great results in everything we do

People Be a great place to work for everyone we employ.

Customers Go beyond customer satisfaction in every relationship.

Society Be a responsible, accountable business in society and a good company in every community we serve.

Our mantra is simple; if we do right by our customers – we do right by the business and for our shareholders. We must focus on people, customers, results AND being responsible.

We all need to understand our business strategy, be clear on how each and every one of us impacts on our success. Great delivery of service, on time, on budget – right first time, will see us generate the profit margins in our forecast. This has to be our obsession.

AND we must be a superb employer, attracting, growing and retaining people, creating high performing diverse teams that set us apart from our competitors. We must have diverse and inclusive recruitment, and meet the needs of colleagues so we can develop and retain people.

AND we also must focus on being a Responsible Business, ensuring the wellbeing of all our people, actions such as challenging the gender pay gap and driving down single use plastic will ensure our values are implicit in our supply chain and that we win business the right way. This has to be our passion.

So - we have to sell services and make money and be responsible.

We call this the AND game.

Fujitsu UK&I has conducted a materiality assessment to prioritise our Responsible Business approach.

We spoke with both internal and external stakeholders to determine which topics Fujitsu could have the most influence on and were most significant in their impact. We consulted our Responsible Business Board which includes our UK and Ireland leaders and senior

management from HR, as well as external advisors with relevant background and experience in business and policy making.

The top ten or ‘material’ issues are outlined below and are covered throughout this report. Each of these topics runs across our responsible business strategy.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 are a set of common goals to be achieved worldwide, including by developed countries, by 2030.

The Fujitsu Group sees the SDGs as a global common language and as an opportunity for wide-ranging collaboration with other organisations, including international agencies and governments.

The SDGs cover a wide range of issues. The idea is that if all organisations did something, no matter how small, the world would make progress together.

We are integrating the SDGs as part of our responsible business programme and have aligned each to one, or more, of our responsible business pillars.

Responsible Business Pillars

At Fujitsu, responsible business is firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy, the 'Fujitsu Way'. We act as global citizens, attuned to the needs of society and the environment.

Our Global Business Standards govern our relationships with all stakeholders involved: employees, customers, suppliers, governments, other businesses and local communities.

In 2014 the EMEIA Responsible Business programme established five core pillars of work. The EMEIA approach sets the strategic direction allowing regions to set appropriate priorities to account differing cultures.

There is an EMEIA wide approach of responsible business leads encouraging collaboration and co-creation.

This strategic approach drives the business benefits underpinning the imperative to have diverse high performing teams. It creates a workplace culture where colleagues’ social wellness and inclusion is paramount.

Page 14: Responsible Business Report 2018 - Fujitsu€¦ · revolution was triggered by people, the impetus for ongoing digital transformation lies with the human connection. In this context,

Ecosystem with Universities Our impactFujitsu and Nottingham Trent University (NTU) collaborate to improve the wellbeing and safety of customers, employees and students. This partnership will see both partners significantly and positively addressing some of the issues and challenges customers, employees and students face through a number of wellbeing and safety projects.

One co-creation project already underway between Fujitsu and NTU aimed at helping to address some of the key issues and challenges customers face is BuddyConnect. A simple mobile app solution, BuddyConnect is focused on helping employees plan and manage the mental health challenges autism may present in the workplace. As apps built specifically for tackling autism in the workplace are much rarer, this app puts in place an effective support and guidance infrastructure through easy-to-access information and by connecting those with autism with additional support. The joint collaboration research and development supports the application being deployed to workers and students.

Charity PartnershipsMacmillan

■ In 2017, we launched a 2 year charity partnership with Macmillian in the UK. We focussed on how technology can help drive forward the objectives of the charity through digital innovation and encouraged long term volunteering and fundraising by our employees.

■ 4 digital projects:

■ Created a solution for Macmillan to collect mobile, contactless donations with a dashboard app to track incoming funds, which has revolutionised their on-street collections in an age of increased reliance on contactless payment.

■ Created a 360 degree Virtual Reality video for patients and their families to experience the feeling of undergoing radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancers, reducing the daunting nature of the previously unexperienced treatment.

■ Created an interconnected platform for volunteering using a mobile app that allows volunteers to take part in opportunities and events on the go.

■ Upgraded Macmillan’s customer relationship management database and then migrated their already existing online portal to Azure Database. The new database will connect all data gathered between the new mobile app, the existing online portal and the database, storing everything in one place.

Children in Need, Prince’s Trust and Impact on Society ■ 80 Fujitsu employees volunteered on Children in Need night by taking public donations over the phone from our call centre, contributing to the £50.6m donations raised.

■ During 17/18, we ran 13 of CV Skills workshops for the Prince’s Trust Team programme, supported by 104 employees and helping over 130 young people.

■ Our employees have invested over 5,500 hours on Impact in Society supporting volunteering activities for charities of their choice, which includes involvement from over 75% of our operations.

National Council for the Blind of IrelandIn 2017, Fujitsu Ireland entered into a 2 year charity partnership with The National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI).

■ Fund raising target for Year 2 was €10,000 and six months in, we had raised €9,223 (92% achieved).

■ Introduced an Inclusion Kickstarter, which focused on Disability Awareness Training on inclusive recruitment, staff retention/development, communications and attitudes.

■ Delivered 4 CV and Interview Skills workshops to blind and visually impaired people actively seeking employment. In total, 11 visually impaired people participated in the workshops with 4 people going on to secure internships and/or meaningful employment.

■ Introduced a technical project which aims to assist urban living for the visually impaired, demonstrating our commitment to a long lasting societal impact.

Page 16: Responsible Business Report 2018 - Fujitsu€¦ · revolution was triggered by people, the impetus for ongoing digital transformation lies with the human connection. In this context,

Fujitsu is committed to being a responsible business that brings together diverse perspectives and talents in an inclusive environment where all our people can be completely themselves. Inclusion and Diversity underpin our ambition to build a customer-focused, agile, innovative and high-performance culture.

■ Increased our Cultural Diversity Network membership by over 100%, to 125 members. This raises awareness of cultural and ethnic topics and events creating a more inclusive workplace for everyone.

■ Invited 24 unemployed people from areas with high Black, Asian and Minority ethnic (BAME) unemployment to a CV and interview workshop. 98% of survey respondents believed the knowledge and skills learnt on the day would be useful in the future..

■ Launched a co-created cross-sector mentoring scheme with Transport for London enabling BAME talent to achieve their career aspirations; 9% increase in BAME talent believing their career progression is within their control.

■ Reduced our gender pay gap by 1.5% to 16.4% by empowering and harnessing female talent. The goal is gender parity by 2025.

■ Female representation in Sales increased by 4%. We have overcome persistently low female representation by introducing gender balanced shortlisting as a contractual requirement with recruitment agencies.

■ 30 girls took part in our first Girl’s Day which invited employees to bring in their daughters and granddaughters for a day of tech activities. This encouraged more girls to take tech subjects and 96% of the girls surveyed were more interested in tech after the event.

■ Female Empowerment results from our Employee Survey results increased by 2 points from 2017. By talking openly about gender parity and our action plans to achieve it has enabled women to feel they have more autonomy in their role and are encouraged to think of innovative ideas.

■ 38% of all hires from the internal recruitment team were women. Unconscious bias training and inclusive job adverts helps ensure gender balance in recruitment to achieve the wider goal of 30% women in the workforce.

Page 17: Responsible Business Report 2018 - Fujitsu€¦ · revolution was triggered by people, the impetus for ongoing digital transformation lies with the human connection. In this context,

■ 34 senior leaders have taken part in Perspectives, a reverse mentoring scheme. This scheme matches a senior leader with someone who is different from them in either age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural background or someone who has a disability. This challenges senior leaders’ perspectives and will encourage inclusive leaders and a culture where everyone can succeed.

■ Removed all academic entry requirements for our graduate scheme. We found no correlation between academic performance and in role performance and now attract more diversity to our graduate scheme.

■ Employees have raised over 500 Disability and Adjustment Passports. This allows employees to seamlessly move around the organisation with the reasonable adjustments they require documented, empowering them to progress their career internally.

Awards and Recognition ■ Named as the only tech organisation in Stonewall’s Top 100 LGBT+ inclusive employers list. This recognition highlights the inclusive culture at Fujitsu and encourages other tech companies to do the same.

■ Named in the Times Top 50 Employer for Women

■ Recognised in the Top 50 Social Mobility Employers Index for the second consecutive year

■ Awarded BITC Top Employer for Race and a finalist for the BITC Race Equality Awards in the Recruitment Award category.

Page 18: Responsible Business Report 2018 - Fujitsu€¦ · revolution was triggered by people, the impetus for ongoing digital transformation lies with the human connection. In this context,

It’s vital that our approach to supporting the wellbeing of our employees continues to ensure that both their physical and mental wellbeing are cared for. If our employees aren’t healthy in body and mind then creativity and free thinking can be restricted as employees don’t feel themselves at work which has a knock on effect on the performance of our organisation as a whole.

We encourage a positive health culture at Fujitsu supporting employees. Engagement with activities is encouraged but not mandated, resulting in participation across a number of wellbeing activities.

■ All employees have access to an independent, confidential Employee Assistance Programme. The support available ensures employees are better equipped to respond to challenges in both their personal and work life which helps improve their health and wellbeing.

■ Held a series of roundtables designed to strengthen line management capability in holding positive conversations around mental health in the workplace. 210 line managers have been trained to date with additional sessions planned throughout 2019.

■ Over 2,000 employees took the opportunity to buy or sell annual leave through our flexible benefits programme. Flexing annual leave helps employees realise lifestyle choices at varying stages during their career, ensuring they remain engaged and performing well at work.

■ Installed sit/stand desks across 3 locations to support colleagues in our workforce at higher risk of developing musculoskeletal concerns. Feedback has been positive with 96% of users responding to a survey stating they would recommend a sit/stand desk to a colleague.

■ Participate annually with a Cycle to Work scheme, loaning employees a bicycle and associated equipment. This encourages healthy ways for employees to commute to work whilst helping to reduce carbon emissions from alternative modes of transport. 164 employees took part in 2018.

■ Introducing acupressure chair massage to a number of our offices created opportunities to discuss with employees the importance of caring for their musculoskeletal wellbeing at work. Employees have gone on to make adjustments to their posture and their workstation such as using laptop riser kits.

■ Fujitsu Ireland hosted a 6-week yoga series to encourage mindfulness exercise at work in a safe and supportive environment. Employees shared their experience of feeling reduced muscle pain and improved mental wellbeing as a result of taking part.

■ Introduced Mental Health First Aiders to two of our key business lines to further enhance the support available to employees. The Mental Health First Aiders are helping to normalise conversations around mental health in the workplace.

Case Study: Global Corporate Challenge We participate in a 100 day annual step challenge. We encourage participation based on a desire to improve personal step averages and to learn more about how to care for our individual wellbeing. Employees with varying abilities and levels of fitness take part including members of our employee disability network, SEED. Our focus is on improving step averages, rather than a fitness challenge, and our employees excelled:

■ Together, we travelled 386,359 miles by moving 971,537,128 steps, giving an average daily step count of 14,289

■ 82% exceeded the 10,000 step threshold by the end of the challenge, compared to 21% before the challenge

■ 63% of participants feel more productive and 67% are feeling less stressed

■ We were recognised as the World’s Most Active IT organisation participating in the challenge

Customer Impact

Customers expect Fujitsu to be responsive, innovative and act with pace, delivering excellence in service.

HMRCHM Revenue and Customs has 50 million customers, 60 thousand staff, and £575 billion in tax receipts to collect. It is in the middle of probably the biggest transformation in its history. Already one of the most digital organisations in the UK, its plans are much bolder: by 2020 it aims to be one of the most digitally-advanced tax authorities in the world.

We support HMRC across their organisation; looking after 67,000 desktops and 6,300 laptops across over 300 offices; managing 1000 servers for File & Print and local Application Support; processing in excess of 9 million self assessment tax returns and enabling the distribution of child benefit payments to over 6.9 million UK families.

Transport for London (TfL) Every day, over 31 million separate journey segments are made across the TfL network. TfL hosts 9,300 busses, provides 11,500 bikes to rent across the city and its underground network spans 402km.

We are a long-term strategic partner of TfL, delivering Network Managed Services, and working closely together to create a vibrant passenger experience to all travellers on the London Network.

Case Study: Cost and CO2 reductionsThe greater use of our virtualisation technologies through our secure private cloud offering has helped to achieve cost reductions and a decrease in the number of IT assets required to run the department’s operations. In turn, this decreased the number of servers required and helps HMRC achieve a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions every year.

Case Study: Collaboration

2018 saw senior Directors from both Fujitsu and TfL coming together for a common goal; collaborating on releasing the power of our BAME community and bringing to the fore via a mentor scheme that propels talent forward around career choices. This scheme was awarded TfL’s Diversity and Inclusion Award. Parallel to this, Fujitsu & TfL are co-creating on a society driven initiative on how tech can assist in achieving the Mayor’s objective of zero suicides in the London Underground.
