Sustainability

Under the motto “Storytelling for a Better Planet,” we strive to solve social issues raised by SDGs with our creative skills and the power of communication, by leveraging the strengths of television.

Let’s achieve a sustainable society by being a changemaker for the world with storytelling.

Fuji Television operates a broadcasting business with licensed airwaves, which are publicly owned assets. Fulfilling our role as part of the social infrastructure, it is our mission to maintain lifeline functions such as providing emergency disaster broadcasts as a backbone medium.

Furthermore, the media and entertainment industry is one of the most powerful forces influencing and reflecting culture, social views, and societal outcomes. Being respectful of the public nature inherent in broadcasting, we build programs that empower, engage, and inspire our audiences to make a real difference.
