Fujifilm Group Green Policy

Our objectives towards maintaining quality

The Fujifilm Group has laid forth the entire group’s medium-term environmental policy, ‘The Fujifilm Group Green Policy’, which is founded on the concept of sustainable development, a key issue that must be addressed as a top, inevitable priority for our planet, the human race and all business entities of the 21st century.

The underlying concepts of the Fujifilm Green Policy serve to deliver high standards of both product quality and environmental quality in all Fujifilm products, services and business activities, and help to contribute to sustainable development while maintaining customer satisfaction as well as keeping and stepping up trust between Fujifilm and our stakeholders.

The Green Policy lays forth nine priority items, which outline the objectives for company policy.

Nine Priority Targets (as of March 2008)

Improvement in eco-efficiency
By the fiscal year 2010, the Fujifilm Group aims to improve its eco-efficiency with regard to six of all the environmental burdens, from A through to F (refer to graphs below), by twice as much as the fiscal 2000 level.
Eco-efficiency = Revenues ÷ value for environmental burden
Design for Environment
Fujifilm will design all new and remodelled 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 the Fujifilm Group companies of environmental quality data on products and other items created in line with those regulations, including manufacturing equipment and packaging materials. The scope of this program will progressively be expanded to encompass the entire Fujifilm Group.
Reduction of environmental burden and contamination control

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
By the fiscal year 2012, specified manufacturing facilities(*) domestic Fujifilm Group companies with large emission volumes will reduce their energy intensity(**) by 30% from those of the fiscal year 1990 and will reduce CO₂ emissions intensity(***) by 40% from those of the fiscal year 1990. Fujifilm Group companies, other than the companies above, set separate goals individually.
Conducting environmental monitoring
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.
Leakage measures for pipes, pits, and tanks
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.
- * Specified manufacturing facilities: Fujifilm's Kanagawa Factories (Ashigara and Odawara), Fujinomiya Factory, Yoshida-Minami Factory, FUJIFILM Opto Materials, and FUJIFILM Kyushu
- ** Energy intensity: Energy consumption per converted unit of production volume
- *** CO₂ emissions intensity: CO₂ emission volume per converted unit of production volume

Upgrading waste management
1. Continuation and improvement of zero emission activities
  Each domestic Fujifilm Group company will maintain the current zero emission standard. They will, furthermore, pursue qualitative improvement with regard to resource recycling. Each overseas Group company will establish separate targets in line with the situation in its respective country.
2. Strengthening waste governance
  Each domestic Fujifilm Group company will work to augment waste-related education programs and take thorough measures to achieve appropriate waste management.
Strengthening chemical substance management
To comply with chemical substance 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, we will strengthen our systems for responding to movements to increase the strictness of chemical management standards, including the new REACH chemical management regulations in force 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.
Management of chemical content in products (raw materials, parts, packing materials, and services)
To manufacture environmentally-friendly products, Fujifilm will continue to strengthen its supply chain management systems and survey its suppliers and procured supplies and services. Regarding suppliers, we will survey our 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, Fujifilm 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.
Construction and improvement of management 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.
Information disclosure, information provision, and communication
Fujifilm will attempt to improve information disclosure / provision and communication through sustainability reports issued by each Fujifilm Group company. Regarding products, the Group will work to promote the provision of the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) as well as other safety-level information that responds to the 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 with all associated entities inside and outside of the organization.
- * GHS (Globally Harmonized System): Uniform (harmonized) international system for classifying and labelling chemical substances
Employee education
Fujifilm will conduct education and training pertaining to the 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.
