Fujitsu research reveals gap between perception of ‘Sustainability Transformation’ preparedness and reality of current status in many organizations

December 14, 2022

TOKYO, Dec 14, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the results of new research commissioned by Fujitsu, carried out by FT Longitude, the specialist research and content marketing division of the Financial Times Group, indicating that sustainability impact is the number one priority for organizations surveyed, and that they are aiming to improve on the three pillars of Sustainability Transformation(1) (SX): environmental, economic and societal.The research shows, however, that few organizations have in fact completed important Sustainability Transformation initiatives, suggesting that many of them have not come as far as they think, despite the importance they believe sustainability holds for the future. This gap is apparent in the figure below, which indicates, for example, that only 26% of the organizations surveyed have implemented health and wellbeing initiatives for employees, and only 12% are using or creating carbon-neutral products.The report identifies that more than two-thirds (68%) of organizations say that Sustainability Transformation will not be a success without significant investments in technology. When asked about the support they needed to achieve their Sustainability Transformation, 42% said that they need help with transforming existing/legacy technology.Key findingsThe sustainability gapWhile 61% of organizations believe that they have made substantial progress on their advanced sustainability journeys, less than one in ten have completed major sustainability imperatives such as developing sustainable supply chains (9%), achieving net zero status (2%) and preparing for environmental emergencies (7%).Organizations need support with their technology transformationThe research shows that organizations are investing in modern technology, recognizing that this represents a fundamental step in supporting many Sustainability Transformation initiatives. However, the report identifies that getting help with transforming existing/legacy technology is one of the main concerns for organizations seeking to make progress with Sustainability Transformation.Chart shows the support that organizations say they need to drive Sustainability Transformation from a technology point of viewThe ChangemakersA small group of leading organizations was identified, the Changemakers. This group accounts for the 6% of organizations that are leaders in sustainability and technology. This group has made substantial progress on their sustainability goals, by powering their efforts with innovative technology. They lead the way on both sustainability imperatives and technology transformation.Technology is key for a successful Sustainability Transformation journeyBeing successful at Sustainability Transformation requires companies to be both sustainable and tech savvy. If organizations want to succeed in their Sustainability Transformation plans, focusing only on sustainability isn't enough. Technology plays a key role for this to happen.Fujitsu ViewThe research findings show that execution is the key to Sustainability Transformation.

Modern Companies Cannot Afford to Ignore the Digital Transformation

August 5, 2022

MANILA, Aug 5, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Digital transformation is an absolute necessity today. Especially for small businesses, it has become indispensable. A few years ago, digital transformation was thought to give businesses a competitive edge. Now it's a fight for survival. We interviewed Dennis Crimen, ICT Head at Philippine Airasia, on how mobility services enabled by digital transformation are reshaping the commercial environment. Anywhere working models and on-demand decision-making have become possible thanks to mobility services. People no longer have to report to the office to do their tasks. They can work anywhere. Through technological outputs that streamline their operations and allow employees to access platforms that were once inaccessible to the public internet, modern technologies are impacting mobility in the post-Covid era. Employees now have the opportunity to connect and simultaneously adhere with government-mandated security requirements. Using the public internet to access assets comes with some concerns. User behaviour has a big impact on security. Regardless of how secure the systems are, a simple mistake like opening a phishing email can make the situation worse. Mr. Crimen advised users to be careful when accessing information to prevent the loss of sensitive company and personal data.Francisco "Kiko" Castillo, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Maynilad Water Services, Inc. discussed how to use modern data integration technologies to achieve business results in our conversation with him. He began by describing how integrating data analytics and technologies is different in terms of methodology from building transactional systems. According to him, you need to allow sufficient time for data cleansing, which typically takes up 60% of the project time. Applying the right methodology and conducting pilot testing are the next steps. A leader of IT will eventually have to learn how to deal with these aspects. Kiko believes that deciding what to accomplish is the most important component to consider when looking at data integration platforms. Other factors include the data sources in the various systems, the types of data sources, and the identities that are used consistently across all sources.On August 24-25, more than 100 digital transformation leaders will gather in the Philippines to discuss the key trends and challenges of a hybrid future. As part of its commitment to connecting transformational leaders, EDX is hosting the DX Leaders Strategy Forum Philippines 2022, a two-day hybrid event that will highlight partnerships between technology providers and end users to shape the digital future of Philippine businesses.

Fujitsu global survey demonstrates how ‘digital first’ approach helps to accelerate sustainability transformation

June 28, 2022

TOKYO, Jun 28, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu today released its "Fujitsu Future Insights Global Sustainability Transformation Survey Report 2022," highlighting the results of a survey of 1,800 business executives and decision makers in 9 countries conducted by Forrester Consulting with the aim of understanding global trends and current conditions in sustainability transformation(1)(SX). Figure 1. Stage of progress in SX initiatives: breakdown by share of companiesFigure 2. Graph of four elementsFigure 3. Graph of DX contribution in SXThis sixth survey investigated the current status of SX and how digital transformation (DX) contributes to the changes required to improve society's sustainability. Fujitsu will draw on the insights and knowledge gained from this survey to work with its customers to resolve issues towards the realization of a sustainable future for business and society.Global Sustainability Transformation Survey Report 2022Sustainability: a growing management challenge for business leaders globallySustainability that takes into account environmental, societal, and economic impacts represents an urgent priority for individuals, companies, and governments around the world. Companies, in particular, need to prioritize sustainability not only with regard to the differentiation of their business, but also for the survival of the company. To this end, Fujitsu commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a survey to clarify the actual state of range of companies' SX initiatives, and will now issue the results in the Fujitsu Future Insights Global Sustainability Transformation Survey Report.Key findings:1. Sustainability as a management priority41% of respondents place sustainability among the top three management priorities, which demonstrates that the importance of sustainability has risen sharply in business strategy and decision-making over the past two years. The main reasons for this trend were rising awareness of sustainability among the younger generation (54%), government regulations and guidelines, and requests from consumer groups (49%).2. Only 5% of companies are SX leadersThe survey revealed that 21% of the companies have already delivered results from SX initiatives. However, only 5% of the leaders have developed a vision for SX initiatives and a company-wide SX strategy and achieved significant results through comprehensive measures. In contrast, 54% of the respondents responded that they were unable to develop or implement a corporate sustainability strategy.3. Digital-first approach as key to SXThe survey showed that SX leaders have a high degree of maturity in four elements: purpose-driven, human-centric, data-driven, and connected, suggesting that these four elements may be important success factors for achieving success in sustainability initiatives. In addition, 67% of the respondents agreed that DX would contribute to the success of SX, and the survey results also revealed a strong correlation between SX maturity and DX maturity. This demonstrates that a digital-first approach is a critical factor in promoting SX.4. SX: Challenges and ways to solve themIn the survey, 38% of respondents cited a lack of executive alignment in sustainability vision and implementation, and 35% internal resistance and skepticism about sustainability initiatives as key issues in implementing sustainability initiatives. The survey further demonstrated that improving both the financial value including sales and profits and the non-financial value including creation of environmental and social value represent a major challenge. CEOs can address this issue by providing purpose-driven leadership, developing plans that include financial and non-financial goals, and leveraging digital technology with technology partners.Fujitsu is promoting management and business operations based on its new global business brand, Fujitsu Uvance, which aims to contribute to the achievement of Fujitsu's purpose: "to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation."The findings of this survey will help Fujitsu to continue to serve as customers' SX partner, simultaneously helping customers to succeed in business and to provide value to society.Survey overview1.
