Steps for Promoting CSR Activities and Progress Evaluation
In fostering its CSR activities, the Fujifilm Group has been examining CSR-related tasks from both company and stakeholder perspectives, setting priorities, and implementing specific measures.
Preparing for the formulation of the next medium-term CSR plan
In fiscal 2009, we will make preparations for the formulation of the next medium-term CSR plan (for fiscal 2010 to 2012) by reviewing the materiality of each of our CSR activities based on the self-evaluation results for the past two years and stakeholders' needs, thereby further promoting and improving our CSR activities as a whole.
Steps for promoting CSR activities
We continue to follow the steps set out below. We are examining CSR tasks from both company and stakeholder perspectives, setting priority issues, and implementing specific measures to improve our CSR activities.
Identifying materiality
The Fujifilm Group decides the materiality of its priority CSR issues based on the following two criteria: (1) influence on the Fujifilm Group, and (2) external evaluation of the Group's measures, and incorporates the decisions into its medium-term CSR plan. The figure on the right shows the materiality of the priority issues, including climate change, CSR-oriented procurement, and biodiversity.
