Amid the constantly changing needs of areas afflicted by large-scale disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake—ranging from emergency relief to recovery and reconstruction support—FUJIFILM Business Innovation has been conducting community engagement activities, placing great emphasis on maintaining dialogue with local communities.
In the recovery activities to the Great East Japan Earthquake, we have also identified issues and challenges for all parts of Japan, not limited to the affected areas, such as medical problems and depopulation. Based on the approach that “there must be unique contributions, solutions and services that we can deliver as a document service and communication provider,” we have been conducting activities to help the affected areas meet their challenges, including in relation to issues not reported by the media.
We will continue our efforts to solve social issues by identifying local needs in a timely manner and providing solutions and services for the business continuity of customers through our business activities, in which we take advantage of our core technologies.
We are providing unique solutions and services for our customers, including to support them in making business continuity plans (BCPs), which they will use to minimize damage and continue business operations or resume suspended operations in the event of an emergency, such as a natural disaster, fire or other incidents. Specifically, we provide customers in the process of making their BCPs with the solutions and services that will help them establish an ICT foundation, store and manage important documents, reduce the electricity consumption of their office equipment and prepare against unexpected blackouts.
We support customers in building and managing risk management systems and rules so that they can implement measures to reduce and distribute risks to ensure the feasibility of their BCPs.
We help customers enhance the safety and security of important hard copy and electronic documents throughout the document life cycle. This is to prevent document loss or damage that could result in customers experiencing lost profits, lost corporate reputation and lost productivity, and could even pose a threat to their business continuity.
Companies must prepare against large blackouts that could be caused by contingencies such as disasters while also implementing measures for power saving. We help them implement measures to this end.
Because of the experiences gained through our past support activities, we are strongly aware of the importance of supplying funds, goods, human resources and information for NGOs to provide timely and effective support to victims in areas that are difficult for governments and the Self-Defense Forces to reach in the event of a large-scale disaster. We therefore gave financial support in the value of 200 million yen to the Japan PlatformNote 1 (hereinafter called JPF) at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
For victims of the disasters, in addition to the donation of this emergency support money and money collected from employees and employees’ volunteering, we gave supports based on our core business, such as lending out digital multifunction devices free of charge and supporting the printing out of documents required for local communications by the use of our on-demand printing (ODP) system. We conducted all these activities by identifying specific local needs in collaboration with JPF, local medical associations and our local sales companies so that we could give useful supports to the areas.
