Fujitsu has unveiled a new global business brand aimed at delivering products for a sustainable world, using the company’s technological capabilities and expertise. Fujitsu Uvance aims to “make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation." The word "Uvance" itself bring together the concept of making all (Universal) things move forward (Advance) in a sustainable direction.
The brand will cover seven key focus areas, including Sustainable Manufacturing, Consumer Experience, Healthy Living, and Trusted Society verticals, and Digital Shifts, Business Applications, and Hybrid IT horizontals.
To commemorate the launch of the brand, Fujitsu has named its "Fujitsu Kawasaki Tower" in Japan the "Fujitsu Uvance Kawasaki Tower," a living lab that will showcase the real-world potential of technologies like biometrics or image analysis, among other areas.
Assessing CO2 emissions after migrating to the cloud
Separately, Fujitsu said it will from 7 October provide assessments on how customers can use the Fujitsu Hybrid IT Service Fjcloud to show how migrating their IT systems to the cloud is changing their CO2 emissions.
Work Lift Shift plan continues
The company also announced the next phase of its “Work Life Shift” plan, focused on employee wellbeing. The company said it aims to create a true hybrid working model by combining remote work and real office communication, promoting cooperation with startups and local government about better ways of working, and encouraging employees in Japan to find fulfilment outside of work. To achieve the latter, the company will promote 100 percent paternal childcare participation, workcation (working in nice locations) and side jobs focused on social contribution and other activities.
