Helping Protect the environment that supports us all

Environmental problems are growing ever more severe, including a trend towards more abnormal weather events and rising sea levels.
As a global leader, Fujifilm is embarking on initiatives to reduce our environmental impact while continuing to deliver value to customers.

• * ”Carbon Neutrality” in this webpage means zero CO₂ emissions from manufacturing (Scope 1 and 2).
  Scope 1: direct emissions that come from the consumption of fuel in the manufacturing process
  Scope 2: indirect emissions from the use of purchased electricity
• * The case studies in this webpage are just some examples of initiatives to address reduction of our environmental impact, and these initiatives are not applied to all the facilities of Fujifilm.

Fujifilm’s legacy began with photographic film, where high quality water and clean air have always been essential to film manufacturing. Since our founding, we have believed that environmental consideration and conservation are essential to making superior products that support enriched lives, and we have endeavored to address environmental concerns. Today, this way of thinking is entrenched throughout our group's DNA, even as we have expanded the scope of our business to include medical devices, pharmaceuticals, advanced materials and business innovation.

In 2021, we announced our “Green Value Climate Strategy” to achieve the decarbonization targets set in our CSR plan, “Sustainable Value Plan 2030” (SVP2030). Hinging on Green Value Manufacturing (manufacturing activities with a low environmental impact) and the creation and promotion of Green Value Products (products and services that contribute to reducing environmental impact), we strive to reduce our environmental impact, focusing on carbon emissions by manufacturing plants, and provide value to customers.

Since our founding in 1934, we have continued our efforts to reduce our environmental impact. With our aims to provide value to customers and reduce the environmental impact, we are accelerating our initiatives around the world to achieve our new decarbonatization targets at the manufacturing facilities.

Our philosophy has been that environmental consideration and conservation are essential to making superior products -- even today with our more diverse businesses and industries, we are working to leave an even better world to future generations.

The amounts of energy that most businesses consume during manufacturing fall into two categories: Scope 1, which is direct emissions that come from the consumption of fuel in the manufacturing process, and Scope 2, which is indirect emissions from the use of purchased electricity. As Fujifilm is positioned upstream in the supply chain, we are a company that uses a large amount of fuel and electricity. For example, heat is necessary for the production and drying process for protective film for polarizers in liquid crystal displays. In order to reduce the environmental impact throughout the entire product life cycle, we have an important role to play in advancing the adoption of decarbonized fuels and renewable energy.
