The FUJIFILM Environmental Report/2001 Edition

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND AWARENESS-RAISING ACTIVITIES
Fujifilm Responsible Care Educational Activities
The Fujifilm Organizing Committee for Responsible Care Education
Programs, a standing committee under the Fujifilm Responsible Care
Committee, plans and promotes environmental educational activities
throughout the Company. It carefully monitors societal attitudes
toward the environment and, each fiscal year, drafts educational
programs for the whole Company. These programs consist of an
introductory course for new employees, a course for management
staff, a course for EHS technical staff, and a course for regular
employees. Topics covered in the introductory course are the history
of Fujifilm’s Responsible Care activities and its stance toward current
and future environmental issues. In the managers’ course, topics
covered include overall trends inside and outside the Company
relating to Responsible Care matters as well as the enactment and
amendment of legislation. The course of EHS technical staff deals
with Fujifilm’s rules for managing chemical substances and database
operation as well as associated legal issues. In this way, Fujifilm is
working to raise environmental awareness throughout the Company.
These courses are conducted every fiscal year. The results are
reported to the Committee and are reflected in the programs for the
following fiscal year after due deliberation.
Fujifilm Responsible Care Policy Notices
To ensure all employees are aware of Fujifilm Responsible Care
Committee’s policies, posters displaying Responsible Care
information are compiled and hung up in every office. In fiscal
2001, these posters were also displayed at subsidiaries, in line
with the expansion of the scope of the Fujifilm Responsible Care
Committee’s policies.
Environmental Educational Activities in Factories
Fujifilm has developed its own educational program for raising
the awareness of environmental safety in factories, where
workers are confronted with many more environmental issues
than elsewhere in the Company. The Ashigara Factory compiles
an environmental handbook, organizes environmental protection
weeks to enhance education, and publishes a quarterly
newsletter, “EA Ashigara.” The Fujinomiya Factory regularly
publishes an environment manual and a newsletter, “Green
Fujinomiya,” and bases its environmental education activities on
these publications. It also organizes an environmental protection
month (June), in which priorities are established and the
environmental awareness of all employees is raised through
various activities.
