The FUJIFILM Environmental Report/2001 Edition

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
As part of its Responsible Care program, Fujifilm communicates with its clients and customers
through a wide range of activities. Through these communication programs, the Company aims
to consider environmental problems together with all its partners and, in so doing, contribute to
a better environment.
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) Issued
MSDS are issued to prevent accidents involving products and ensure safety in handling chemical substances for both
people and the environment. The Company formulates this MSDS information in compliance with the directives of the
Japan Chemical Industry Association. With the revision of the Labor Safety and Hygiene Law in 2000 and the updating
of the provisions in the Chemical Susbtances Management Promotion Law (PRTR Law) in 2001, the provision of MSDS
information for chemical substances and products became mandatory. Further,
to ensure timely and accurate access to MSDS and MSDS revisions, the
Company launched an MSDS database system in 2000, which is available at
Fujifilm and related companies in Japan and overseas.
MSDS information can be accessed on the Company’s Web site at
http://www.fujifilm.co.jp/msds.
Further, Fujifilm issues AIS (Article Information Sheets) to provide environmental
and safety information for solid products that are not covered by MSDS.
Ashigara and Fujinomiya Factories Issue Site Reports
The Ashigara and Fujinomiya factories, both of which are key film production facilities for the Company,
have compiled their own environmental reports. Both factories acquired ISO 14001 certification in 1996.
Through data and illustrations, the reports cover environmental policies and the actions that have been
taken to advance them as well as trends in environmental impact. The reports are distributed to central
government organizations, local governments, clients, and others. In addition to advancing
communication with regional and local communities on all aspects of environmental preservation, the
reports also serve as useful educational tools regarding Zero Emission activities in the Company’s factories.
