Fujitsu chair Hidenori Furata resigns after the company’s board becomes aware of allegations described as “woman-related inappropriate conduct.” Multiple outlets report that Fujitsu announces his departure following internal review and board awareness of the conduct claims. Fujitsu states that Furata has stepped down from the chair role after about two years in the position. Separately, reporting indicates Fujitsu is also withdrawing his candidacy as a non-executive director ahead of an annual shareholders’ meeting later this month, reflecting the company’s decision to remove him from consideration for reappointment. The reports characterize the conduct issue as “woman-related” and “inappropriate” but do not provide further specific details of the allegations in the material provided. The coverage also notes that Fujitsu is negotiating a settlement with the UK government related to the Post Office IT scandal involving faulty software, though this is presented as separate context rather than part of the conduct allegations. The company does not attribute legal findings in the summarized reporting, and Furata is described as indicating that Fujitsu’s statement represents his response.
