CSR Human Rights Policy

Basic Approach of human rights

The FUJITSU GENERAL Way, which represents the common values of the Fujitsu General Group, states "We respect human rights" in the opening line of the Code of Conduct.

This statement clearly sets out the company's position that "its activities will be based on respect for human rights, that diversity is to be embraced, and that no one shall be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion,disability, gender or sexual orientation, nor shall harassments be tolerated."
