2024 Fujitsu SX Survey: Accelerating Sustainability Transformation with AI
In collaboration with Fujitsu

In the face of rapid technological advancements, businesses and society are undergoing significant transformations. At the same time, addressing sustainability issues such as geopolitical tensions and climate change remains a critical management challenge. Additionally, the current business environment is rapidly evolving due to advancements in AI.
Given this context, and to build on findings from the earlier Sustainability Transformation survey – “Charting a course for change”, Fujitsu, in collaboration with Oxford Economics, conducted an additional survey in January 2024, targeting 800 CxOs from 15 countries. The aim was to understand the current state of AI utilization in organizations and how technologies represented by AI are impacting corporate Sustainability Transformation.
This report compiles insights from the survey and proposes actions that management should take now to successfully leverage digital technologies, centered around AI, for Sustainability Transformation.
To accelerate your Sustainability Transformation, we encourage you to download and utilize this report.
The report found:
- Organizations are ramping up AI initiatives, with AI expected to permeate all business operations within the next three years.
- Yet, many organizations are in the early stages of AI adoption.
- Efforts in AI and Digital Transformation will lead to the success of Sustainability Transformation
Also in partnership with Fujitsu, the Fujitsu Technology and Service Vision 2024 was published earlier this year using the same data.
