Fujitsu

Fujitsu is a multinational technology company currently facing significant scrutiny due to its role in the UK Post Office Horizon IT scandal. The Horizon software, developed by Fujitsu, led to the wrongful prosecution of numerous sub-postmasters. Recent news focuses on the impending departure of Fujitsu's European boss, Paul Patterson, from his current role to become non-executive chair of Fujitsu’s UK business, where he will continue to manage the company's response to the inquiry. Patterson has faced criticism for Fujitsu's continued receipt of UK government contracts despite the scandal and its failure to provide a concrete compensation figure for victims. Simultaneously, Fujitsu is involved in efforts to address Japan's growing dementia crisis, highlighting the company's diverse operations and its engagement with significant societal challenges beyond the Horizon scandal.
