Fujifilm Group Green Policy

 

The entire Fujifilm Group strives for the highest environmental quality based on its Medium-term Environmental Policy, the Fujifilm Group Green Policy.

Environmental Burdens

Environmental Accounting

Aiming for high environmental quality as a Group

[Logo]FUJIFILM group Green Policy

The Fujifilm Group Green Policy was issued in April 2002, and it has been applied across the entire Group as the Group's Medium-term Environmental Policy in a three-stage structure—Basic Policy, Action Guidelines, and Nine Priority Targets. From fiscal 2009 onward, we will continue to pursue even higher environmental quality based on the Fujifilm Group Green Policy as a united effort.


Fujifilm Group Green Policy

Basic Policy

“Sustainable development” is the most important issue for our planet, the human race, and all business entities in the 21st century.
The 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.

Action Guidelines

  1. We will promote environmental burden reduction and product safety assurance with the following three items in mind:
    • （1）Our efforts are pursued throughout all corporate activities.
    • （2）Our efforts are pursued throughout the entire product life cycle.
    • （3）We give overall consideration to economic and social implications.
  2. We will improve our management of chemical substances and the chemical content of products to reduce environmental risks.
  3. We will comply with legal regulations as well as Fujifilm Group regulations, standards, and requirements that are individually agreed on.
  4. We will strengthen partnerships with our business partners, collaborate in government and industrial activities, and actively participate in community activities.
  5. We will actively give full disclosure of the information regarding our involvement in and accomplishment of various environmental activities to all associated individuals, including local communities, governments, and Fujifilm Group company employees, to facilitate open communication.
  6. We will heighten the environmental awareness of every Fujifilm Group employee through employee education, so that we can fortify our infrastructure to face the challenges posed by environmental issues in the future.

Eco-Efficiency from Fiscal 2004 to Fiscal 2008

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: (Eco-Efficiency=Revenues / Value for Environmental Burden)

Affected by the scale of global economic decline that surpassed expectations, total sales declined rapidly in fiscal 2008, resulting in a drop in the year-on-year eco-efficiency rate for all items.

Special notes

  • Greenhouse gas emission level: Activity is underway to reduce CO2 emissions, include the promotion of natural gas use, under the in-house global warming prevention project.
  • Consumed natural resources: In-house aluminum recycling (PS to PS) activity is underway.
  • Waste generation: Conversion to valuable resources has been implemented especially in domestic factories.
