'Fujitsu Technology And Service Vision 2023': Sustainability And Business Converge To Solve Society's Challenges
TOKYO, May 26, 2023 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu today published the "Fujitsu Technology and Service Vision 2023," outlining its outlook and bold proposals for the future of business and society. The report charts a course for businesses to realize "sustainability transformation" through digital innovation, echoing and expanding upon a theme first introduced in last year's Vision.
Issues like climate change, geopolitical tensions, and financial market turmoil pose ongoing challenges to businesses as well as people's livelihoods and well-being. While many seek to resolve these issues through a growing commitment to sustainability, these solutions also offer many opportunities for new business. As the social and business benefits of shifting toward this new paradigm grow increasingly apparent, Fujitsu's report highlights the urgent need for companies to transform to create new value for the environment and society. The "Fujitsu Technology and Service Vision 2023" provides concrete recommendations on how to integrate sustainability and business, the impact of the evolution of technology on business and society, and what actions companies should take to ensure a more sustainable future for humanity.
'Sustainability
Transformation': Where business growth and societal issues
converge
Many of the greatest challenges facing the world
today are complexly interrelated, with developments emerging
in specific regions often bearing unforeseen consequences
that can resonate throughout the entire world. To ensure
their survival, companies facing these realities have an
undeniable need to commit to achieving sustainable growth
while providing value to the environment and society by
reducing their emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), energy
consumption, and waste. Fujitsu's report recommends how to
integrate the resolution of societal issues with the
achievement of business objectives, illustrating in concrete
terms the role technology can play in reaching these goals.
The report explores this with the following themes:
1.
Sustainability = Business
While various external
environments have a significant impact on management, many
companies perceive the resolution of issues related to
sustainability as a business opportunity and consider the
transformation of their business into one that brings value
to the environment and society as an important management
issue. However, compared to digital transformation
initiatives, which have already progressed in many
businesses, the concept of sustainability transformation,
which is transformation to create value for the environment
and society, still remains in its infancy. Under these
circumstances, leader companies which implement
sustainability strategies and produce results are promoting
initiatives to integrate sustainability with business.
Specifically, they are building a cycle in which their
efforts to create environmental and social value resonate
with people and create financial value such as improved
sales and profitability.
2. Technology
vision
Digital innovation plays an important role in
enabling corporate sustainability transformation. In the
context of digital-driven sustainability transformation,
approximately 80% of sustainability leaders see the five
areas of automation, experience, innovation, resilience, and
trust as critical. Fujitsu is focusing its resources on
R&D of five key technologies (AI, networking, computing,
converging technologies, data & security) and working to
realize technology innovation in each area.
(1)
Automation: Collaborate with trusted AI to improve
creativity and performance
(2) Experience: Integrate
network with AI to improve network quality and maximize
potential in a world unrestrained by physical
limitations
(3) Innovation: Computing and AI enable total
innovation in the digital space
(4) Resilience: Redesign
the future with human behavioral traits and converging
technologies that combines multiple digital twins
(5)
Trust: Connecting everything under security with distributed
trust technology
3. Business transformation for a
regenerative society
Fujitsu aims to contribute to the
realization of a sustainable, regenerative society in which
the environment, people, and the economy are interconnected
in alignment with its purpose: "Make the world more

problems, improve people's well-being, and transform
