Compliance & Risk Management

Compliance in the Fujifilm Group

The general interpretation of compliance as simply adherence to regulations can frequently lead to the pitfall that everything is fine as long as we simply follow the letter of the law. The Fujifilm Group interprets compliance as the appropriate action of individuals and companies in accordance with ethical principles and common sense, in addition to observing the laws. We believe that we achieve compliance by flexibly responding with a keen sensibility to the needs of society.

We steadfastly advance compliance activities across the Group, with our two operating companies, Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox, overseeing their respective affiliates in Japan and overseas.

Risk management at the Fujifilm Group

Lack of awareness of compliance often leads to increased risk. Consequently, compliance and risk management represent two sides of the same coin. A dedicated department in each operating company of the Fujifilm Group manages risks in a comprehensive and integrated manner, recognizing that promoting compliance and managing risks associated with business operations is a single continuum.

In conducting risk management activities, both of the operating companies, Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox, receive reports on risk prevention and incidents from their respective affiliates.
