manufacturing landscape. According to Fujitsu's recent Sustainability Transformation (SX) Survey 2024 (*1), 77% of organizations now believe that being more sustainable is not just the right thing to do, but it's also good for business. This statistic underscores a growing recognition of the vital role that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles play in shaping the future of the industry.<br/><br/>As manufacturers, we face a unique set of challenges in today's world. Regulatory pressures are intensifying, resource efficiency is becoming increasingly critical, and both consumer and B2B customer expectations are evolving at an extraordinary pace. In response to these challenges, Fujitsu has developed an innovative framework: the Value loop. This concept isn't just another corporate initiative; it's a transformative approach that reframes ESG and circular economy practices from mere compliance burdens into powerful drivers of business value and competitive advantage.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component content col-12 u-bgc-gray full-width content-plain"> <div> <div class="component-content"> <div class="l-article"> <div class="l-article-inner"> <ul class="p-article_link"> <li class="p-article_link_item"> <a target="_self" href="https://activate.fujitsu/en/about/vision/technology-vision/leadership-challenges/sustainability-transformation-survey-2024"> <span class="p-article_link_text">(*1)Sustainability Transformation (SX) Survey 2024</span> </a> </li> <li class="p-article_link_item"> </li> <li class="p-article_link_item"> </li> <li class="p-article_link_item"> </li> <li class="p-article_link_item"> </li> <li class="p-article_link_item"> </li> <li class="p-article_link_item"> </li> <li class="p-article_link_item"> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component content col-12 full-width"> <div> <div class="component-content"> <div class="l-article u-bgc-rd-or"> <div class="l-article-inner"> <div class="p-toc js-animate"> <h2 class="p-toc_title"> Contents </h2> <ul class="p-toc_list"> <li class="p-toc_item"> <a href="#a1">The Value loop: Fujitsu's framework for sustainable manufacturing</a> </li> <li class="p-toc_item"> <a href="#a2">Transforming ESG reporting into a strategic advantage</a> </li> <li class="p-toc_item"> <a href="#a3">Circular economy: From concept to reality in manufacturing</a> </li> <li class="p-toc_item"> <a href="#a4">Leveraging advanced technologies for sustainability</a> </li> <li class="p-toc_item"> <a href="#a5">Collaboration and partnerships: Amplifying impact</a> </li> <li class="p-toc_item"> <a href="#a6">The path forward: Embracing sustainable manufacturing with Fujitsu</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component content col-12 full-width content-plain"> <div> <div class="component-content"> <div class="l-article js-animate"> <div class="l-article-inner"> <div class="p-article"> <h2 class="c-heading2" id="a1"> The Value loop: Fujitsu's framework for sustainable manufacturing </h2> <p class=p-article_mt>At the heart of Fujitsu's approach to sustainable manufacturing lies the Value loop concept. This framework is built on the understanding that true sustainability encompasses three key areas: People, Prosperity, and Planet. It's not only about reducing our environmental impact; it's about creating a holistic system that benefits all stakeholders.</p> <p class=p-article_mt>The Value loop creates mutually beneficial relationships between manufacturers, suppliers, customers, and communities. It recognizes that our success is intrinsically linked to the wellbeing of our workforce, the prosperity of our partners, and the health of our planet. This interconnected approach ensures that every action we take ripples outward, creating positive impacts far beyond our factory floors.</p> <p class=p-article_mt>Traditionally, digital and environmental strategies have been siloed in many organizations. The Value loop bridges this gap, bringing these strategies together in a powerful synergy. By leveraging technology for both sustainability and efficiency, we can align environmental objectives with initiatives to drive innovation, cut costs, and open new market opportunities.</p> <p class=p-article_mt>The Value loop aligns closely with the concept of the "Regenerative Enterprise" – a business model that goes beyond sustainability to actively restore and regenerate the systems it depends on. In this model, manufacturers go beyond minimizing harm; they become a force for positive change in their communities and ecosystems.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component content col-12 full-width content-plain"> <div> <div class="component-content"> <div class="l-article js-animate"> <div class="l-article-inner"> <div class="p-article"> <h2 class="c-heading2" id="a2"> Transforming ESG reporting into a strategic advantage </h2> <p class=p-article_mt>For too long, ESG reporting has been viewed by many as a burdensome compliance exercise – a box to be ticked rather than an opportunity to be seized. This perception often stems from the challenges of collecting and analyzing data related to various scopes of emissions (direct, indirect and those emitted across the value chain), as well as the resource-intensive nature of compiling comprehensive reports.</p> <p class=p-article_mt>At Fujitsu, we're changing this narrative. We believe that when approached strategically, ESG reporting can become a powerful tool for driving business value and competitive advantage. Our approach integrates ESG principles directly into core business operations, turning sustainability into a catalyst for innovation and efficiency.</p> <p class=p-article_mt>Central to this approach is the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_FjF4blsn8">Fujitsu ESG Management Platform</a>. This powerful tool goes beyond simple data collection and reporting. It enables:</p> <p class=p-article_mt><strong>• Data-driven target setting:</strong> Leverage real-time insights to set ambitious yet achievable sustainability goals.</p> <p class=p-article_mt><strong>• Visualization and interpretation of ESG data:</strong> Transform complex data into actionable insights through intuitive dashboards and analytics.</p> <p class=p-article_mt><strong>• Scenario planning and digital rehearsals:</strong> Model different strategies and their potential impacts, allowing for informed decision-making.</p> <p class=p-article_mt><strong>• Automated reporting and compliance:</strong> Streamline the reporting process, freeing up resources for strategic initiatives.</p> <p class=p-article_mt>Importantly, our ESG Management Platform doesn't just focus on carbon emissions. It facilitates a holistic transition to a circular economy, helping manufacturers track and reduce their entire environmental footprint – from greenhouse gases to waste management and resource utilization.</p> <p class=p-article_mt>The effectiveness of this approach is evident in real-world applications. For instance, <a href="https://www.fujitsu.com/emeia/about/resources/case-studies/cs-2021june-ab-inbev.html">AB InBev</a>, the world's largest brewer, partnered with Fujitsu to implement a blockchain-based solution for enhancing transparency in their barley supply chain. This initiative not only improved their ESG reporting capabilities but also strengthened relationships with farmers, enhanced product quality, and opened up new possibilities for sustainable brewing practices. It's a prime example of how ESG initiatives, when properly implemented, can create value across the entire business ecosystem.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component content col-12 full-width content-plain"> <div> <div class="component-content"> <div class="l-article js-animate"> <div class="l-article-inner"> <div class="p-article"> <h2 class="c-heading2" id="a3"> Circular economy: From concept to reality in manufacturing </h2> <p class=p-article_mt>The circular economy represents a paradigm shift in how we approach production and consumption. For manufacturers, it offers a powerful framework for reducing waste, conserving resources, and creating new value streams.
