Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Fujitsu operates a Dual Delivery approach to Social Value (SV). Our Responsible Business Programme, developed on the principles of the Public Sector (SV Act 2013) delivers our corporate employee and community programme. Running parallel to the corporate programme, we deliver bespoke client-facing SV programmes within each call off contract. Programmes are fully aligned to the requirements of PPN06/20. Using our co-creation process, we undertake local initiatives, jointly developed with clients and partners, that ensure Economic, Social and Environmental benefit to communities. To align with the theme of Fighting Climate Change with a policy outcome, we co-ordinate our efforts via an environmental action plan, a green procurement policy and a responsible procurement charter. Our initiatives are based on the National TOMs Framework. The 47 metrics of the Fujitsu TOMs have been developed in consultation with the Social Value Portal (SVP). We will use this to manage, monitor, measure, evidence and report on implemented initiatives within G-Cloud 13. At the end of each year, we will provide an independently audited Social Value Report, outlining completed activities, quantifiable SV generated and how each initiative aligns to the SVM policy outcomes. The G-Cloud Service initiatives may include: Developing Environmental Action Plans focusing on societal challenges of climate change, resource circulation and living in harmony with nature. Supporting local School’s Programmes i.e. the UK Trees to supporting biodiversity, environmental education & clean air. Ensuring all projects utilise our secure logistics facility so that all IT assets are re-purposed before recycling or disposal through secure /accredited routes. Continuing the installation of Solar Panels across our or customer sites, enabling self-generating renewable energy. Fujitsu as a member of RE100, promotes global corporate initiatives driving towards 100% renewable energy. Supporting customer efforts to collect information on measures to promote the resource-saving design of products.
