Below expectationsPending Review

Fujitsu reports rigorous climate data with SBTi-validated net-zero by 2040 and 45.8% Scope 1+2 reductions achieved. But Scope 3 remains stuck on industry averages, renewable energy crawls at 47.5%, and the Post Office Horizon scandal—which caused 900+ wrongful convictions and at least 13 suicides—remains unresolved with zero financial redress from the company.
