Since its foundation, the Fujifilm Group has engaged in a wide range of environmental protection activities for the conservation and protection of biodiversity, based upon philosophy of “environmental consciousness and environmental protection are at the core of our corporate activities,” as we have needed lots of water and clean air to produce photographic films. In 2009, we clarified our guideline for cross-group efforts to biodiversity conservation and introduced the “Fujifilm Group Basic Concepts and Action Guidelines for Biodiversity Conservation” (hereafter, “Guidelines for Biodiversity”). Based on this policy, Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox independently work on a number of biodiversity conservation activities related to their respective businesses.

More concretely, Fujifilm included biodiversity conservation in the Rule for Design for Environment (DfE), while Fuji Xerox started surveys on land use for purpose of biodiversity conservation at production and product development sites. In 2012, we reviewed our biodiversity approach under the four key elements of factories, products, social contribution, and communication, in order to secure implementation of biodiversity conservation activities linked with our businesses.

In FY2014, for the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing for Genetic Resources (ABS), Fujifilm participated in the Taskforce Committee led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry in Japan to obtain the latest information on related topics.

At Fuji Xerox, where paper is an essential commodity, the Committee for Socially Responsible Paper Procurement was held annually as it was last year, and reconfirmed the provision system for paper that customers can use with peace of mind. Fuji Xerox has also started the review for its overseas paper supplier audits.
