Corporate Message

On October 1st 2006, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation began operating as a Fujifilm Group company with overarching strategic control over the entire group, including its two major operating companies: FUJIFILM and Fuji Xerox.

While FUJIFILM Holdings will continue to expand and develop its core imaging and other photography-related businesses, it will also work to strengthen and expand key growth business areas such as medical and life sciences, documentation, graphic arts, highly-functional materials and optical devices. To secure new growth in these areas, we will formulate group strategies based around both business-focused and function-focused approaches. FUJIFILM Holdings provides three key sets of functions: “management strategy functions” that will promote growth strategies and structural reforms for the operating companies; “technical strategy functions” that will manage technological and intellectual strategies to realize a more advanced fusion of the wide-ranging proprietary technologies owned by the Fujifilm Group companies; and “corporate support functions” that will enhance communication with stakeholders and promote more rigorous corporate social responsibility (CSR). By implementing these functions, FUJIFILM Holdings aims to further optimize and streamline the entire Fujifilm Group and thereby accelerate its progress.

With FUJIFILM Holdings at its core, the Fujifilm Group will work to maximize synergistic effects by “increasing areas of synergy among group companies”, “realizing lean and solid management organization” and the “cultivation and effective utilization of personnel”, thus enhancing strategic management and governance throughout the entire group.

The Fujifilm Group is taking this current period of corporate rebirth as an opportunity to build a new consolidated business structure with FUJIFILM Holdings at its core, using this structure to unify the entire group as we promote our new growth strategy to actively invest in growth businesses and to create new businesses by putting more energy and resources into M&A and R&D.

The corporate philosophy of the Fujifilm Group is, “We will use leading-edge, proprietary technologies to provide top-quality products and services that contribute to the advancement of culture, science, technology and industry, as well as improved health and environmental protection in society. Our overarching aim is to help enhance the quality of life of people worldwide.”

With this as our ideal, we can continue to positively expand our business activities across the entire group while making important and useful contributions to society as a whole.
