Green Policy

“Sustainable development” is the most important issue for our planet, the human race, and all business entities in the 21st century. Fujifilm Group companies around the world aim to stay at the forefront of efforts to attain this goal in terms of environmental, economic, and social aspects. We will strive for customer satisfaction as well as our contribution to “sustainable development” by achieving high “environmental quality” in products, services, and corporate activities.

By fiscal 2010, the Fujifilm Group aims to have improved its eco-efficiency*-with regard to all six indices below-to double that of the fiscal 2000 level.
*Eco-Efficiency = Revenues / Value for Environmental Burden

Fujifilm will design all new and remodeled products according to the “Basic Regulations for Design That Takes the Environment into Consideration”. At the same time, measures will be taken to promote the sharing among all Fujifilm Group companies of environmental quality data on products and other items created in line with those regulations, including environmental quality data associated with manufacturing equipment and packaging materials. The scope of this program will progressively be expanded to encompass the entire Fujifilm Group.

By fiscal 2010, specified manufacturing facilities1 with large emission volumes of Fujifilm and domestic Fujifilm Group companies aim to have reduced their unit energy consumption 2 to 10% below fiscal 1990 levels. In addition, these facilities aim to have reduced their unit CO₂ emissions volumes 3 to 20% below fiscal 1990 levels.

Domestic Fujifilm Group companies' manufacturing facilities that use regulated chemicals will periodically monitor soil, underground water, and wastewater conditions as well as VOC emission volume.

Domestic Fujifilm Group manufacturing companies will continue implementing and augmenting their chemical leakage countermeasures. These include measures such as those to move pipes and other underground items above the ground and equip items with double walls, as well as measures to enable quick leakage detection of underground items.

Each domestic Fujifilm Group company will maintain the current zero emission standard. They will, furthermore, pursue qualitative improvement in regard to resource recycling. Each overseas Group company will establish separate targets in line with the situation in its respective country.

Each domestic Fujifilm Group company will work to augment waste-related education programs and take thorough measures to achieve appropriate waste management.

To comply with chemical substances regulations around the world, Fujifilm will maintain and strengthen its systems for reliably collecting relevant compliance information and for ensuring the legal compliance of product development and marketing operations. At the same time, the Company will strengthen its systems for responding to moves to increase the strictness of chemical management standards, including the new REACH chemical management regulations under consideration in Europe. Fujifilm will maintain dependable management operations based on the Fujifilm Chemical Substance Management System and will also work to upgrade these operations by introducing new safety testing and compliance testing technologies.

To manufacture environment-friendly products, Fujifilm will continue to strengthen its supply chain management systems and survey its suppliers and procured supplies and services. Regarding suppliers, the Company will survey its management system for chemicals contained in products and work to upgrade that system. In addition, Fujifilm will start the surveys of suppliers' CSR management. Regarding procured supplies, the Company will undertake surveys and, at the same time, work to arrange contracts stipulating the absence of prohibited substances, clarify product specifications, and fortify inspection systems.

Each Fujifilm Group company will work to create environmental and quality management systems and to continually improve those systems by integrating them into daily operation.

Regarding corporate operations, efforts will be made to upgrade the sustainability reports, and other reports issued by each Fujifilm Group company. Regarding products, the group will work to promote the provision of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) as well as other safety-level information that responds to Globally Harmonized Systems* (GHSs). The Group will also seek to expand the scope of its product-related environmental information disclosure.
Furthermore, the Fujifilm Group will strive to improve communication among all associated groups both inside and outside of the Group.

Fujifilm will conduct education and training pertaining to environment and quality for employees at domestic and international Fujifilm Group companies. Fujifilm will also continue to improve various aspects of their education and training procedures, including the content of education, appropriate training measures, and textbook updating as needed.
