CSR Activities in China (for Fiscal 2008)
The 31 Chinese subsidiaries of the Fujifilm Group are building their businesses while promoting environmental activities and contributing to society.
Fujifilm Group operations in China
The Fujifilm Group has identified China as one of its key markets. In the 1980s, Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox opened offices in Beijing and Shanghai, respectively, and have since been building up their business in China. The Fujifilm Group so far has invested more than US$900 million for business development in China. Today, our total sales in China(*) have reached approximately ¥ 450 billion and our 31 affiliates have created more than 20,000 jobs.
In the course of conducting business in China, it is only natural for the Fujifilm Group to demonstrate as deep a commitment to its corporate social responsibilities as it does in Japan. We are actively working on protecting the environment (for example, energy and resource conservation in local manufacturing factories, compliance with regulations governing the chemical content of products and establishing recycling systems), and contributing to society (including the Pink Ribbon Campaign and a voluntary tree planting program) in addition to actively pursuing personnel development, providing training, improving the working environment and ensuring worksite safety and health.
Furthermore, FUJIFILM Holdings started publishing its Sustainability Report in Chinese in fiscal 2006 to also disclose information on CSR activities of the Fujifilm Group in China.

Presentation at the FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories
In order to give people in China a clear understanding of the Fujifilm Group's commitment to environmental and CSR activities in the midst of developing businesses across a wide range of fields, we invited nine members from six major Chinese media outlets (People's Daily Netcenter, Nanfang Media Group, China Business, Guangming Daily, Xinhua News Agency and China Business News) to visit Japan from November 28 to December 2, 2007. The invitation was jointly planned by FUJIFILM (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and FUJIFILM Holdings. In addition to a “talkfest” with the management of FUJIFILM Holdings, managers from Fujifilm and its affiliates explained the business of the Fujifilm Group and shared CSR case studies from Japan and China. Guests from the major Chinese media firms engaged in a lively Q&A session.

The presentations and visits helped me to better understand the business of the Fujifilm Group. The Fujifilm Group is upholding the corporate philosophy: enhancing the quality of life of people. The Group has concretely expressed this corporate philosophy through the provision of products and services as well as in its communications and participation in local communities. I thought that reporting on CSR activities I learned from the Fujifilm Group will help Chinese enterprises to better promote their own CSR actions.
