Fujifilm’s mission is to contribute to society by providing
customers with superior products and services that they can
rely on and focusing on the continuously evolving Imaging
and Information (I&I) technologies, the former being the
capturing and recording of images while the latter is the
optimizing of images according to use. By organically fusing
chemical technologies with cutting-edge information
technologies, the Company develops business activities that
lead the industry in diverse areas, including digital imaging
solutions.
Fujifilm’s view on social contribution is based on the
basic philosophy it has held since its foundation, i.e., environmental
protection is the basis of company management.
The Company constantly strives toward environmental
friendliness (harmony between people and nature) and
chemical safety and has taken various measures and
addressed diverse issues. In April 2002, we established the
Fujifilm Group Green Policy as part of our new mediumterm
environmental strategy. Under the basic policy, we aim
to provide products and services and carry out corporate
activities that are extremely friendly to the environment, or
what we call having high “environmental quality.”
Environmental quality is the amount of environmental
impact that can be reduced in a product’s design. It is also
the amount of effort a company puts into environmental protection
while conducting business activities that have less
environmental impact throughout the life cycle of the company’s
products. By improving environmental quality at
such stages as product design, production, and marketing,
Fujifilm hopes to grow as a company while contributing to
the sustainable development of the earth.
At the end of fiscal 2002, we added “the improvement of
eco-efficiency” (balancing economic and environmental
aspects) to our Green Policy. By fiscal 2010, we plan to double
the eco-efficiency we achieved in fiscal 2000 by reducing
six kinds of environmental impact caused by our business
activities and increasing revenue to show an improvement
in economic performance. We are deeply committed to
fulfilling our social responsibilities through the attainment of
these goals.
One of Fujifilm’s most important achievements in fiscal
2002 was the establishment of a framework for its Design
for Environment, which is followed by the entire Fujifilm
Group. Prior to its full-scale launch in April 2003, the
Design for Environment was carried out on a trial basis. A
few of the Company’s products that were a part of the trial
run included the FinePix F410, the first digital camera to
acquire a Type III Eco-Label in Japan. Other examples of
Fujifilm’s environment-friendly products are the QuickSnap
Night & Day; the Princiao Qn, a Printpix digital printing
system; and the Frontier 340E, a digital minilab.
Fujifilm took further measures to reduce its environmental
impact by decreasing volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions as well as the amount of paper packaging materials
used in containers. Despite the encouraging results of the
Company’s efforts, the amount of CO2 emissions and generated
waste still rose due to increased production as a whole
and the higher number of improved prototypes. Some countermeasures
are already implemented, such as the use of a
fuel substitute. Fujifilm further strives to draw up and carry
out even more significant measures to improve its eco-efficiency.
In addition to its environment-related efforts, Fujifilm
reviewed its Employee Code of Conduct and published an
update in April 2003. The Company gained a lot of trust in
Japan and the rest of the world for its strict corporate ethics
and fair business practice. Fujifilm considers the nurturing
of a vigorous, sincere, and diligent corporate culture as
indispensable for its survival and development. Moreover,
the Company strives to enhance corporate transparency by
disclosing information on social issues, such as its relationship
with partners, personnel affairs, employment, and
employee health and safety. To this end, Fujifilm changed
the name of its report from the Environmental Report to the
Sustainability Report and adding more detailed information.
Fujifilm considers this Sustainability Report as a first step
in reporting its efforts to attain sustainable development to
all stakeholders. We appreciate any comment and/or request
that you may have.

Performance Summary of Fiscal 2002
As of the end of March 2003, the Japanese economy remained
sluggish with no prospect of recovering. Looking overseas, the
U.S. market was quite stable in the first half of the year but deteriorated
in the second half and ended with an even bleaker outlook.
The European economy’s recovery slid in the second half
of the year. In other Asian countries, the Chinese market
remained stable while those of other countries were just beginning
to show signs of recovery.
With this background, Fujifilm strove to develop its business
in imaging solutions, information solutions, and document solutions
as well as total solutions that make use of digital networking
technologies.
Specific examples are as follows:
• It launched digital cameras equipped with the latest technology.
• It started supplying CCDs and lenses for cameras built into
cell phones.
• It extensively marketed Frontier, a digital minilab.
• It implemented an all-out campaign to increase the printing
demand for digital cameras.
• It established an integrated manufacturing and marketing system
for standard film cameras.
Consolidated revenue volume for the year under review rose
4.4% from that in the previous fiscal year, to ¥2,505.7 billion,
due to the increased sales of digital cameras and other products
that use digital technology. Domestic revenue slipped 1.9%, to
¥1,330.1 billion, and overseas revenue increased 12.4%, to
¥1,175.6 billion. Operating profit for the year stood at ¥160.2
billion, down 5.0%, after subtracting a ¥23.1 billion loss due to
the cancellation of employee pension funds at Fujifilm and some
of its affiliated companies. Excluding the cancelled funds, however,
operating profit was ¥183.3 billion, up 8.7%. Pretax profit
for the year totaled ¥120.5 billion a 24.5% decrease from that in
the previous year. while net profit was ¥48.5 billion, a 40.3%
decrease from that in the previous year.

• It merged its marketing divisions with Process Shizai Co.,
Ltd., One of Japan’s largest distributors for the graphic arts
industry, and formed a new consolidated subsidiary,
FUJIFILM Graphic Systems Co., Ltd.
• It consolidated Fujifilm Logistics Co., Ltd., and Fuji Xerox
Distribution Co., Ltd., to strengthen and streamline its distribution

Social Responsibility
Fujifilm’s Relationship with Society
Corporate Philosophy
We pursue superior technologies and strive to create
an I&I-oriented culture.
Basic View of Corporate Governance*
As business develops worldwide, it becomes increasingly
important to promote a more efficient, accurate, and timely
management system of the Fujifilm Group. Fujifilm’s
answer to this was the introduction of a corporate vice president
system in 1998. At the top of the Company’s hierarchy
is the Board of Directors, which makes decisions on the
basic policy as well as monitors decisions concerning the
basic managerial policy and strategies and business administration.
Next in line are the corporate vice presidents, who
are selected by the Board of Directors and assigned by the
president and help support business administration. In 2002,
to clarify the mission and responsibility of the directors,
their term of office was reduced from two years to one. The
Board of Corporate Auditors, which consists of four corporate
auditors and three external auditors, was established as a
monitoring body.
Green Trust
People buy our film, trusting that its quality will be as if it were delivered the day
before. In a sense, they are buying trust when they buy our film.
Fujifilm fulfills its social responsibility by keeping in mind that the customer’s trust in
the Company’s name is part of the package.
Board of Directors

Management Committee
We shall continue our efforts to reform our management
structure in terms of corporate governance and clarify managerial
strategies and streamline the business administration.
*Corporate Governance
Corporate governance aims at establishing a system that promotes efficient
and sound business management.
Promoting Compliance* and Aiming to be a
Company That Society Needs
Fujifilm encourages every one of its employees to have a
higher standard of ethics and common wisdom. In line with
this, the Company established the Corporate Ethics
Committee in 1999 and created the Fujifilm Charter for
Good Corporate Behavior and the Employee Code of
Conduct.
In June 2002, to deal with society’s growing demand for
compliance, Fujifilm established the Compliance Office in
its Legal Division to exclusively promote Companywide
activities and renamed the Corporate Ethics Committee the
Compliance Committee.
The Compliance Office was created to uncover and solve
the smaller problems of the Company and prevent misconduct.
Fujifilm has manufactured and sold photo film for a
long time. The Company is able to sell film only if it has the
customer’s trust. Therefore, compliance must be in line with
the public’s expectations in order to foster a culture that supports
integral management.
In April 2003, the Employee Code of Conduct was
revised. (See right.) Clarifying the function of its Compliance
Consultation Office so that employees (including temps) can
use it at any time, Fujifilm strives to promote employee
awareness of compliance throughout the Company. An area
on the Company’s intranet was created to promote employee
awareness of compliance and provide various information.
Fujifilm continues its efforts to further improve its compliance
system and gain a deeper trust from all stakeholders,
especially customers.

activities in a timely fashion to all stakeholders through the
media or other channels in addition to following information
disclosure practices pursuant to laws and ordinances.

Vision
Fujifilm’s Environmental Vision
Fujifilm’s Pursuit of Trust
Since its foundation, Fujifilm has pursued customer satisfaction
by improving product quality as a part of its corporate
activities.
Our raison d’etre is to establish customer trust that is
earned by providing superior, reliable products, because
photo film, our staple product, can never be used twice.
Because the film manufacturing process depends on nature
for such things as clean water and silver, which is rare,
Fujifilm focuses on environmental conservation and protection,
which is the basis of its corporate activities. Because it
uses a large number of chemicals, Fujifilm became a member
of the Japan Responsible Care Council (JRCC) when the
council was founded in 1995. The establishment of JRCC
was led by the Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA).
Accordingly, Fujifilm voluntarily pays special attention to
environmental protection, safety, and healthcare at all stages
of the process, from chemical development, manufacturing,
distribution, and use to final consumption and discharge.
Furthermore, Fujifilm discloses the results of these activities
and makes earnest efforts to follow responsible care by holding
discussions and otherwise communicating with the public.
Fujifilm would like to further fulfill its responsibility as a
corporate citizen* based on the trust of its stakeholders.
Fujifilm’s Sustainable Development
Fujifilm continues its efforts to earn the customer’s trust
based on the following three principles for higher environmental
quality.
1) Triple Bottom Line
Comprehensively consider environmental (global environmental
protection), economic (corporate growth and development),
and social (social responsibility as a corporate entity)
issues.
2) Eco-efficiency
Revenue
Eco-efficiency =
Environmental impact value
Improve eco-efficiency by increasing revenue while decreasing
environmental impact.
3) Life Cycle Thinking
Take environmental protection over a product’s entire life
cycle into consideration.
In fiscal 2002, we used these principles as a base to formulate
the Fujifilm Group Green Policy as a part of our new
medium-term environmental strategy. By taking effective,
innovative measures to deal with environmental issues, the
Fujifilm Group is able to provide high environmental quality
in its corporate culture, products, and services and contribute
to sustainable development. We provide the following
environment-friendly aspects in all of our
corporate activities:
• Environment-friendly marketing activities
• Environment-friendly research and
development
• Environment-friendly technological
applications
• Environment-friendly raw material
procurement
(Green Procurement**)
• Environment-friendly design
• Environment-friendly production
lines
• Launch of environmentfriendly
products
• Green Purchasing** and
any other environmentfriendly
efforts in all business
fields
Compliance
*Corporate Citizen
A corporate citizen is a corporate entity that is regarded as a part of society
and, in addition to conducting normal business activities, earnestly contributes
to that society in a variety of areas, including local communities,
environment, education, and culture.

Pursuing New Social Responsibilities
Fujifilm has pursued social responsibility, which the
Company sees as responding to consumer trust, since its
foundation.
In an era of global environmental concerns, Fujifilm
strives to improve its environmental quality by being more
environment conscious. The Company discloses information
on its environmental efforts to the public at any and all
opportunities, earnestly fulfilling its accountability
obligations.
To deal with the needs of the times, corporate
entities have to establish a management
foundation that embodies sustainable economic
activities. Fujifilm has grown
much since its foundation and needs to
start fulfilling its social responsibilities
in other areas. To do this, the
Company is continuing its earnest,
innovative efforts that address
environmental, economic, and
social issues.
Fujifilm’s Environmental Vision
**Green Purchasing/Green Procurement
When products and services are purchased and procured, priority is given
to the reduction of impact on the environment to the lowest level possible
in addition to such considerations as need, price, and quality. Green
Purchasing encompasses office consumables, office materials, and products
for everyday living while Green Procurement includes raw materials
and items used in production.

Green Policy
Green Policy
Efforts to Put Green Policy into Practice
We shall apply Design for
Environment to all our new
products in order to further
improve environmental quality.
Nobuaki Miyasaka
Corporate Vice President for Environmental
Protection & Products Safety
What does environmental quality mean to Fujifilm?
Environmental quality means the environmental quality
of the Company and the environmental quality of its
products taken as a whole.
The environmental quality of a product is determined by how
much of the Design for Environment is achieved. To improve
this aspect of environmental quality, we need to pay careful
attention to environmental concerns over the entire life cycle of a
product, from development and final consumption to discharge.
The environmental quality of Fujifilm is determined by how the
Company deals with environmental protection measures. To
improve environmental quality, an environmental management
system needs to function correctly. Furthermore, information on
improvements that were made in environmental quality needs to
be appropriately disclosed to stakeholders and communication
with them promoted. The Fujifilm Group strives to achieve high
environmental quality in its products, services, and corporate
activities, providing customer satisfaction and contributing to
sustainable development.
What are environment-friendly products?
The most typical example is the Fujicolor QuickSnap
single-use camera.
The Fujicolor QuickSnap was designed to be recycled and
reused. The recycled production system used for the product
received a lot of recognition and, as one example, was given the
Superior Trendsetting Factories and Offices Special Award spon-
sored by Nihon Keizai Shimbun Inc.
Fujifilm set environmental quality targets in the planning and
development stages of many of its other products as well.
Accordingly, the entire life cycle of each product is taken into
consideration as is the possibility of making it reusable and/or
recyclable before beginning production, which includes energysaving
production. In April 2002, the basic rules for Design for
Environment were created after reviewing the design framework
commonly applied to all Fujifilm products.
What distinctive features are used to promote the Green Policy?
At the end of fiscal 2002, the Fujifilm Group set ecoefficiency
as an indicator to promote the Green Policy
throughout the Group.
Eco-efficiency is calculated by dividing consolidated revenue
by environmental impact. There are six kinds of environmental
impact: Greenhouse gas emissions, the amount of input in natural
resources, VOC (Volatile organic compounds) emissions into the
atmosphere, the amount of container packaging material used,
the amount of waste generated, and the amount of input in water.
Fujifilm set its fiscal 2010 target by doubling fiscal 2000’s ecoefficiency.
The Company hopes to reach this target by reducing
all six kinds of environmental impact. Although this is a rather
difficult goal to achieve, we have no doubt we will succeed.
How are you going about acquiring ISO 14001?
The Fujifilm Group’s ISO 14001-focused management
is striving to acquire certification through Groupwide
efforts to deal with environmental concerns.
Administration, marketing, and manufacturing divisions are
all encouraged to acquire ISO 14001. Therefore, the Group is
establishing a comprehensive management system that covers
product planning, manufacturing, and marketing. We are planning
to acquire ISO 14001 at our Head Office and domestic
Group companies by the end of fiscal 2003 and at overseas
Group production companies by the end of fiscal 2004.

Green Procurement
Continue to research vendors' environmental
awareness and product friendliness in order
to determine selection criteria. For DfE,
research on "greenness" of procured materials.
Also, develop methodologies to test
greenness of procured materials.
G) Information Disclosure
Improve the environmental report. Issue site
reports at Asaka Technology Development
Center and Miyanodai Technology

group companies will proceed individually
to attain this certification. The group will
tackle environmental issues as a whole,
based on management conforming to ISO
14001.
I) Education of Employees
Establish an environmental education system
using the network and educate all
employees by the end of fiscal 2002.
Domestic subsidiaries will implement this
system by the end of fiscal 2004. Different
targets will be set for overseas sites.
Recycle
Waste products are not disposed of (neither
incinerated nor taken to landfill sites) but are
reused as resources. Material recycling involves
reusing materials in their original form. Chemical
recycling involves the return of plastics back to
their original form through liquefaction, and thermal
recycling involves using waste as fuels.
Reuse
Through the reuse of materials, the generation of
waste is reduced and the conservation of
resources is achieved.
Endocrine
A term referring to secretions and hormones produced
by an endocrine gland. Chemical substances
that alter the endocrine system in a
human or animal and lead to harmful effects in
its body or in its offspring are called
“endocrinedisrupting hormones” (or “environmental
hormones”). It is suspected that some
chemical substances have this effect, and these
chemicals are referred to by Fujifilm as suspected
endocrine-affecting substances.

Stake Holder Meeting
Stakeholders’ Opinions
Stakeholders from various areas sent in their comments
on Fujifilm Environmental Report 2002
Edition as well as their requests and proposals.
As a part of its communication activities, Fujifilm met with
its readers to ask them what they thought about Fujifilm
Environmental Report 2002 Edition. By carrying out such
activities, the Company will be able to improve mutual
understanding through discussions, not only one-way information
disclosure, and make use of the information gained
for future business activities and reports.
What did you think about Fujifilm Environmental
Report 2002 Edition ?
Ms. Sakai: As a whole, I would have liked to have seen
more information on the people who took part in the projects.
1 Readers would be more interested in what we had to
say if they knew how hard the people in charge of design
had to struggle before reaching their goals. Because the
report is published annually, it would be better if it pointed
out what improvements were made from the previous year.
Mr. Kishikawa: (concerning the Design for Environment
section) It would be easier to understand if comments on the
environmental missions that Fujifilm needs to undertake and
the foundation for development that was based on such missions
were given before describing individual products.
Mr. Nakamura: As I am not familiar with environmental
reports, I found them difficult to read. It would be easier to
understand if footnotes and sidebars were used instead of a
glossary at the end of the report. 2
Mr. Kanbe: The explanations given on the various technologies
were too difficult to understand. I think a more
reader-friendly style of writing would be better.
Mr. Yago: I think a more visual-oriented design is recommended.
It is a good report, so it does not deserve the criticism
it received for having small fonts, which readers
claimed made it hard to read. 3
Mr. Sanada: It should be more necessary to take the view
of consumers and general readers into consideration.
What kind of environmental report would you
want to read?
Mr. Nakamura: I would be interested in a report that had a
special feature on products that are popular among general
consumers. 4 I think this would satisfy both the reader who
wants only a summary and the reader who
wants more details.
Mr. Kishikawa: You hear the word “accountability”
a lot these days. However, it is more
important to give the reader an honest message
than to merely fulfill your accountability obligations.
Even the numbers given in the report
should convey some kind of message or have
some sort of meaning. Eventually, through trial
and error, the reader will come to understand
how hard the Company has worked.
In addition to social concerns, what
other important topics are to be covered
in the future?
Mr. Yago: Because I deal with water resources, I am interested
in the total amount of water consumed. I am particularly
interested in the Ashigara Factory, which is a chemical
facility, because it is important for the local community to
understand the information given on the quality of the soil
and water. I would like you to continue disclosing relevant
information in the environmental report.
Mr. Kanbe: I would like to continue disclosing information
on the discharge of waste. For instance, the Ashigara
Factory will switch to natural gas in the future, and we are
very pleased with this decision. I would like to see the
details regarding this as well as the factory’s relationship
with the local community.
Mr. Okawa: The Odawara Factory occupies most of Isaida
District 1 in our community, and local residents are greatly
interested in environmental issues related to Fujifilm’s business
activities. I would like to see the details of the factory’s
relationship with the local community as well as its environmental
performance.
Mr. Kishikawa: What I would like to know concerns cor-
porate ethics, compliance with laws, rules for employment,
stress management, etc. As for risk management, it would be
better to have a message about the future as well as chemical
management.
What do you expect from Fujifilm in the future?
Ms. Sakai: Because I visited the factory today, I now know
how Fujifilm pays sincere attention to stakeholders everyday.
I expect Fujifilm to continue launching products that
deserve the Company’s devotion to and history of environmental
protection.
Mr. Okawa: I am sure that we established a good relationship
with Fujifilm in terms of mutual survival and prosperity.
Because environmental protection requires money, I
would like Fujifilm to grow even more as a corporate entity.
Mr. Kishikawa: This is my second visit to the Ashigara
Factory, and I am pleased to note that its overall appearance
is cleaner than it was on my last visit two years ago. As a
leading company in the industry, its efforts toward environmental
protection is just as timely and careful as its efforts
toward its business activities. I hope Fujifilm will continue
such efforts.
After the Meeting
Fujifilm gave readers an opportunity for the first time to comment
on Fujifilm Environmental Report 2002 Edition. We were
pleased to discover that the comments given pointed out things
that were easy for us to overlook and that many gave us food for
thought. Although our first priority has always been to create a
report that is easy to understand, the comments that we received
made us painfully aware of fact that further improvements are
sorely needed.
It may be difficult for us to clearly describe the technical
aspects of what we do due to the limited amount of space with
which we have to work. However, this problem should be eliminated
with the use of more charts and illustrations as well as
interviews with those in charge of research and development and
other means of identifying those involved with products and
technologies. Such improvements are reflected in this issue.
Although information disclosure is important, we recognized
the importance of communicating with our stakeholders. The
timely response to questions and requests is the foundation of
trust, and we hope our opportunities to do so continue.

Summary of Fujifilm’s Environmental
Achievements in Fiscal 2002
The achievements of the Fujifilm Group are written in green and those of Fujifilm alone in blue. Refer to the
pages indicated for details.
Establishing an Eco-efficiency Indicator
Planning to double fiscal 2000’s ecoefficiency
by fiscal 2010 by reducing
six kinds of environmental impact
Eco-efficiency is calculated by dividing sales by environmental
impact, of which there are six kinds, including CO2 emissions
and generated waste. Fujifilm has set a rather challenging target
of doubling fiscal 2000’s eco-efficiency by fiscal 2010 by reducing
all six kinds of environmental impact.
(See page 8.)
Improved Communication
Opportunity to hear from and share
views with readers of our report
Rather than merely send information on the Sustainable Report,
Fujifilm took the opportunity to ask people outside the Company
for their opinion on its report so that it may improve its corporate
activities and the content of its reports.
(See page 10.)
Establishing Sustainability Accounting
Calculating consolidated and nonconsolidated
environmental accounting
and social accounting
In addition to sustainability accounting and environmental
accounting, costs involving the Company’s relationship with
employees, customers, and local residents as well as social contributions
to social accounting items were aggregated.
Breakdown of Nonconsolidated Environmental Accounting:
Environment-related
expenses
¥35.9 billion (¥31.1 billion in the previous year)
Capital investment ¥11.4 billion (¥10.8 billion in the previous year)
Benefits to Fujifilm ¥31.3 billion (¥28.7 billion in the previous year)

targets for ISO 14001 and making other enthusiastic efforts.
(See page 34.)
Self-rating:
Progress more than satisfactory Progress satisfactory Progress moderate
Will make efforts in fiscal 2003 Will make more effort in fiscal 2003
Energy Consumption
Up 4.8% from the previous year
Energy consumption increased from that in the previous year due
to increased production and the manufacturing of more prototypes.
In fiscal 2003, Fujifilm will strive to reduce its consumption
by introducing a cogeneration* facility in the Odawara
Factory.
(See page 35.)
CO2 Emissions
Up 3.8 % from the previous year
CO2 emissions increased from that in the previous year due to
increased production and the manufacturing of more prototypes.
The Company will reduce emissions by the end of fiscal 2003 by
switching from heavy oil to natural gas at the Fujinomiya Factory
and Odawara Factory, both of which began operations following
large-scale capital investments.
(See page 35.)
VOC Emissions in Air
Cutting fiscal 1996 emissions 58%
Fujifilm has set its VOC emissions reduction target to 50% that
in fiscal 1996. As a result of enthusiastic efforts, the Company
significantly exceeded this target.
(See page 36.)
Zero Emissions
Achieving zero emissions at all
Offices, Sales Offices, and the Head
Office
After achieving zero emissions at all business sites by the end of
fiscal 2001, the Company did the same at all Offices, Sales
Offices, and the Head Office.
(See page 40.)
Waste
Up 5.5% from the previous year
Fujifilm generated more waste this year than the previous year
due to increased production and the manufacturing of more prototypes.
In fiscal 2003, the Company will draw up and implement
more effective measures through an earnest sharing of ideas
among business sites.
(See page 40.)
External Reputation
Chosen for socially responsible
investment (SRI)**:
Of 703 manufacturers, Fujifilm was
ranked 10th in the 6th Corporate
Environmental Management Survey
(Manufacturers division).
The Company was recognized for its achievements in environmental,
economic, and social issues and was incorporated in several
SRI funds.
(See page 51.)
Promoting Information Disclosure
Kankyo-goo TV covers Fujifilm’s
efforts toward environmental protection.
Kankyo-goo TV, a part of Kankyo-goo, a portal site for environmental
information, Webcast a story about the Fujifilm Greenery
Fund and its efforts to prevent global warming.
(See pages 35 and 52.)
*Cogeneration
A cogeneration system produces two or more kinds of energy (e.g., electricity
and heat) from a single energy source. A typical example of such efficient
use of energy is the hot water and steam that is produced using the waste
heat from power generation.
**SRI
SRI aims at obtaining stable profit by evaluating and choosing companies
not only through conventional financial analysis but also in terms of such
social and ethical aspects as environmental protection, compliance with
laws, employment, human rights, customer relations, and contributions to
society and local communities.

Environmental Data
Fujifilm Sustainability Accounting*
Fujifilm’s sustainability accounting involves making a report on the Company’s social activities in terms of
monetary value as well as its environmental performance.
Environmental Accounting for Fiscal 2002
Fujifilm began aggregating its environmental accounting in
fiscal 1998; this is the Company’s fifth accounting term.
Fujifilm’s fiscal 2002 results are as follows. Expenses for
environmental protection totaled ¥36 billion, up ¥4.9 billion,
or 16%, from the previous year, and capital investments
totaled ¥11.4 billion, up ¥0.7 billion, or 6%, from the previous
year. The primary cause for the increase in expenses for
environmental protection was a ¥2.7 billion increase in
research and development cost incurred by research divisions
for the development of eco-friendly products, which
account for 21% of all research and development expenses.
The increase in capital investments was, in turn, primarily
caused by measures to reduce environmental impact and
streamline production, accounting for 18% of all capital
investments.
The benefits of environmental protection are as follows.
Benefits to Fujifilm increased ¥2.6 billion, or 9%, from the
previous year, to ¥31.3 billion, and benefits to society
decreased ¥0.7 billion, or 6%, from the previous year, to
¥11.7 billion. Benefits to customers totaled ¥20 billion, a
fourfold increase, or ¥15 billion, from the previous term.
Benefits to customers included a wider range of use of environment-friendly
products than in the previous year.

Environmental Accounting Principles
■ Purpose of environmental accounting
1) Environmental accounting provides environmental information
that is expressed in terms of quantitative values
that assist in decision making by managers and facility
supervisors.
2) Environmental accounting is used to provide accurate statistical
and financial data to related internal and external
stakeholders.
■ Basic policies of environmental accounting
Environmental Reporting Guidelines (2002) of the
Ministry of the Environment is used as reference.
■ Scope of application of aggregation

■ Aggregation method
1) Calculations for depreciation are made using the straightline
method over a three-year period.
2) Environmental costs contained in comprehensive costs*
are aggregated by a proportional calculation as determined
by the purpose of expenditures.
* Comprehensive costs incorporate capital investments and necessary
expenses that are made for purposes other than environmental protection.
3) Environmental benefits are calculated as follows:
a) Benefits to Fujifilm (Economic Effects)
I) Benefits primarily from capital investment: Benefits
are recorded for the depreciation period with aggregation
being made over a three-year period following
the installation of the facilities.

II) Benefits primarily from production and research
practices: Benefits gained from daily production
activities, such as materials reuse and recycling and
streamlined manufacturing.
b) Benefits outside Fujifilm
I) Benefits to society: The benefits aggregated consist
of reductions in environmental impact resulting
from Fujifilm’s environmental protection activities
and any corresponding social benefits expressed in
monetary terms.
II) Benefits to customers: The benefits aggregated consist
of benefits to customers in terms of reduced
environmental impact as a result of new products
developed by Fujifilm and any corresponding economic
benefits to customers.

*Sustainability Accounting
Sustainability accounting is a system that measures and indicates the amount
companies spend and invest to protect the environment and the effects thereof.
Considerations to human resources, occupational safety, social contributions,
and other social activities are included in sustainability accounting.
Sustainability means the continuous provision of a better life not only for
today’s society but also tomorrow’s.
**Reduce
The reduction to the minimum amount possible of the resources (materials)
input into the manufacturing and the minimization of waste created

Environmental Data
Fujifilm and Environmental Impact
The following diagrams show resource input as well as
wastes and emissions generated through research and development,
manufacturing, and distribution processes in fiscal
2002. Fujifilm promotes a variety of measures to reduce
environmental impact, such as strengthening environmental
management systems by formulating the Green Policy, and
reducing CO2 emissions by switching from heavy oil to natural
gas at factories.
*Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
PET is commonly used in making plastic bottles. It is also used
as a substrate for X-ray film.
**Triacetylcellulose (TAC)
TAC is used as a substrate for photo film and movie film.
***Particulate Matter (PM)
PMs are particles that are 10 micrometers or less in diameter.
Airborne PMs are often called suspended particulate matters
(SPMs). SPMs are found naturally in volcanic smoke as well
as factory smoke and diesel vehicle exhaust gas. SPMs in the
diesel exhaust may cause cancer.

Manegement System
Environmental Management System
ISO 14001* and Responsible Care
Fujifilm’s environmental management system was developed
based on ISO 14001 and the concept of Responsible Care (RC)*,
for which the Company has worked tirelessly since 1995.
Fujifilm plans to initiate the Green Policy and achieve its targets
under this management system. The Company continues to
improve the system through the PDCA cycle shown at right.
*RC is an effort to voluntarily ensure environmental protection, safety, and
health—disclosing activity results to the public as well as communicating
and holding discussions with them—over the entire life cycle of a product,
from development, manufacturing, and distribution to use, final consumption,
and discharge of chemicals.

Six Certified Facilities and One Certified Office in Japan
Current Status of Acquisition of ISO 14001 Certification
By January 1997, Fujifilm had acquired ISO 14001 certification,
an international standard pertaining to environmental management
systems, at all four factories in Japan. By March 1999, all
of its production sites had also acquired the certification. Now,
administration divisions and marketing divisions besides manufacturing
divisions are encouraged to acquire ISO 14001 certification
by establishing a management system that comprehensively
covers planning, manufacturing, and marketing divisions.
With the Osaka Office acquiring certification in January 2003,
the total number of business sites that are ISO 14001 certified is
74 in Japan and 20 abroad. Fujifilm is planning for the Head
Office and Group companies in Japan to be certified by the end
of fiscal 2003 and overseas production sites by the end of fiscal
2004.

area, but there are some important incidents or themes that may
influences the Company as a whole and are dealt with by the
Comprehensive Risk Management Committee.
In the area of environmental risk assessment, an environmentrelated
risk task force was established to take management measures
and deal with incidents that may involve risk. The
Comprehensive Risk Management Committee comprises the following
six task forces (subcommittees):
• Task Force on Environment-related Risk
• Task Force on the Risk of Attacks on the Company
• Task Force on the Risk to Safety Abroad
• Task Force on the Risk to Export Control
• Task Force on the Risk of Disaster
• Task Force on the Risk of Serious Product Complaints

Environmental Education
Progress in educational curriculum
The Fujifilm Group, led by the Fujifilm Responsible Care
Curriculum Development Committee, prepares and promotes
environmental curriculum according to employee position and
type of work.
The details of the 2002 curriculum are as follows:
1. Introductory course: Education for new employees, new managers,
and new general managers
2. Manager course: Ordinary course
3. Specialist course: Industrial waste management, life cycle
assessment (LCA), and Design for Environment
In fiscal 2002, 950 employees from Fujifilm and Fujifilm
Group companies attended class under this program, raising the
total number of participants to 2,560 since the program started.
In the past, these classes covered specific environmental and
safety issues faced by each workplace, where tasks, such as production,
research, are undertaken in accordance with ISO 14001.
However, we are now expanding the scope of these courses to
provide target students with a broader understanding of the issues
involved.
Fujifilm continues to expand and develop its environmental
education programs as an effective way of improving environmental
protection activities throughout the Fujifilm Group.
The start of the e-Learning remote education system
In April 2003, the e-Learning
remote education system, which
makes use of information technology
(IT), was started. From
the time of its launch to the time
of its completion at the end of fiscal
2003, the e-Learning program
will be for Fujifilm employees only. The Company is planning to
introduce the program to other Fujifilm Group companies in
Japan and abroad by the end of fiscal 2004. Thus, we are promoting
the development of environment-friendly products and reduction
in CO2 emissions by encouraging all 70,000-odd Group
employees to learn about the Fujifilm Group Green Policy.

Personal learning through the company LAN
The e-Learning program was designed so that employees can
learn about the three key phrases of the Fujifilm Group Green
Policy, namely, sustainable development, environmental quality,
and eco-efficiency. Employees can take lessons whenever they
like by hooking up their PCs to the company LAN.
At the beginning of the program, an employee number needs
to be entered for identification. Following a greeting from the
president and an explanation on the purpose of the program by
the general manager of the Environmental Protection & Products
Safety Division, the student takes a pretest to verify how much
he/she has understood. Next, there is a one-hour program consisting
of 40 steps and various illustrations and charts. The student
takes a comprehension test at the end of the program and is
required to repeat
the program until
he/she can get a perfect
score. Once this
has been achieved, a
certificate of completion
is shown on
the screen.
Although the program is basically for personal use of the
Company LAN, in some cases, educational CD-ROMs will be
distributed and group lessons given. In such cases, the lesson
results will be sent to the Environmental Protection & Products
Safety Division server for the progress management.

(Tokyo Head Office, Industrial Materials and Products Division)
Industrial Waste Management Seminar
In fiscal 2002, the Fujifilm Group held an industrial waste management
seminar, which is a specialist course in the Group’s
Responsible Care educational curriculum. This is in response to a
recent increase in the number of cases concerning the illegal
dumping of industrial waste and the corresponding need for business
entities that discharge such waste to be held legally responsible.
The curriculum was designed to help those in charge of
industrial waste disposal to understand the relevant legal framework
and be more knowledgeable in choosing the appropriate disposal
contractor and correctly following the consignment procedure.
The seminar was held three times in fiscal 2002 and attended
by 98 participants from Fujifilm business sites and Group companies.
The participants took active part in the sessions.
Chemical Management
Currently, risk management is becoming more important at all
stages of a product’s life cycle, from the selection of chemicals to
their discharge. Fujifilm optimizes its know-how, which has been
efficiently refined over the years, for the benefit of the Fujifilm
Group as a whole in its comprehensive chemical management
throughout the entire life cycle of a product.
Three Databases and the Global Management
System
Fujifilm developed three databases so that chemicals can be more
efficiently managed. The databases are linked to one another, and
if one is modified, the modification is automatically reflected in
the other two. The combined operation of the Legislative
Regulations Database and Chemical and Environmental
• Management of chemicals by classifying them into five categories,
from “prohibited” to “general-managed”
• Comprehensive management of raw materials, from purchase,
research and development, and manufacturing to distribution,
product use, and discharge
• Safety rating and risk management by the Chemical and

used by Fujifilm is tested for safety at
the Fujifilm Material Safety Test Center at the
time of purchase. Every aspect of the chemicals
is checked, including the following:
• adverse effect on the health of people
• adverse effect on the ecosystem
• risk of exploding
Fujifilm then carries out a five-level safety
standard ranking on the chemicals that
ranges from “prohibited” to “general-managed.”
If no information on a chemical indicates
that it is toxic but there is some concern of
risk or the possibility that the chemical will
be subject to regulations in the future, the
chemical is classified as a “special-controlled
substance” (S substance) and will undergo
basic research for substituting substances,
where it will be monitored and studied. All
information obtained in the study will be
stored in the Chemical and Environmental
Safety Information Database, where it can be
accessed and used by the people concerned.

General lab
Evolution of the Fujicolor QuickSnap
Mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal….
The consequences of providing comfortable, convenient, and
fulfilling lives are environmental destruction, resource depletion,
and other environmental issues. Because the construction
and operation of waste disposal facilities and disposal
methods are a growing concern, we need to end the production
and consumption of disposable single-use products and
switch to a recycling-oriented economic or social system.
Hoping to follow such trends, Fujifilm is striving to help
establish a recycling-based society. As a typical example, the
Fujicolor QuickSnap Inverse Manufacturing Factory is given
here.
From Fujicolor QuickSnap to Fujicolor QuickSnap
The Fujicolor QuickSnap was marketed in 1986 as the
world’s first single-use camera and immediately recorded
enormous sales. Although there was a system to recycle parts
of the camera since the product’s launch, it could not keep up
with the rapid growth of the market. In 1990, by establishing
the Fujicolor QuickSnap Inverse Manufacturing Factory, a
recycling center, Fujifilm started its reuse and recycling system
in full scale. At this point, a major concern was how to
streamline the recycling process. Products need to be collected
and disassembled prior to recycling, but back in 1990 only
the flash units of the Fujicolor QuickSnap Flash were unitized
and, as a result, disassembling the camera was time
consuming. In 1992, the Company developed the recyclable
QuickSnap Flash Econoshot based on the idea that it is more
efficient to design and develop recycling-oriented products.
Incorporating unitization, a feature of the QuickSnap Flash,
with new technologies used in recycling-oriented production
and environmental product assessment methods, the
Fujicolor QuickSnap continues to evolve in terms of recyclability.
As a result, the QuickSnap Simple Eye 800 is 95%
recycled in weight, compared to that of the QuickSnap Flash,
which was 36% in 1990.

A Change in Thinking and Product Recovery Lead
to Recycling-oriented Production
Fujifilm makes earnest efforts to develop recycling line technologies
in addition to the products themselves. In
November 1992, the Company started an automated
reuse/recycling system for QuickSnap products. Research on
this system began with the development of the Fujicolor
QuickSnap Econoshot. In 1998, Fujifilm started operations
at the Fujicolor QuickSnap Inverse Manufacturing Factory,
which adopted a production system that consists of recovery,
an innovative process that is different from previous ideas;
disassembly and inspection; and reuse.
Since recycling began in 1990, Fujifilm has been making
steady progress in reducing environmental impact by unitizing
product parts and improving reduction efforts and manufacturing
processes. For parts that cannot be reused, e.g., the
front cover panels of the Fujicolor QuickSnap, the Company
has developed a pelletizing-less process that enables crushed
ingredients to be directly molded into new plastic. This
process significantly reduced the environmental impact of
resin recycling.

Protecting the Plentiful Supply of Clean Water
and Air
The Fujifilm Ashigara Factory, where the QuickSnap
Inverse Manufacturing Factory is located, can be found in
Minami Ashigara, Kanagawa Prefecture, in the middle of
luxuriant verdure. Since its foundation, Fujifilm has done its
utmost to reduce environmental impact and protect the rich
natural environment from discharged wastewater and polluted
air. Minami Ashigara, where one of the nation’s top 100
cities for water quality is located, pays especially strict attention
to wastewater disposal.
The Inverse Manufacturing Factory opens up opportunities
to communicate with local residents, customers, and
other stakeholders. Study tours offer visitors a glimpse of the
actual reuse and recycling process of the Fujicolor
QuickSnap at the factory. In fiscal 2002, more than 10,000
people visited the factory due, in part, to it being chosen as a
place for environmental study for elementary school students
and a stop for school trips for junior high school students.
Making use of the Fujicolor QuickSnap concept and environment-conscious
technologies that it had cultivated, Fujifilm
shall continue to be a part of a recycling-based society.

Design for Environment
How Design for Environment Works
How Design for Environment Works
Fujifilm strives to improve environmental product quality
based on the Fujifilm Group Green Policy. The Company
formulated basic rules for Design for Environment after
reviewing the Companywide framework so that efforts
toward environmental protection, which used to be conducted
by division, can now be carried out under integrated standards.
The procedures to be followed at each stage up until
the time the product hits the market are mentioned below. In
April 2003, Fujifilm initiated this system for newly developed
products, which was also initiated at other Fujifilm
Group companies.
In fiscal 2002, LCA* implementation rules were formulated
to quantitatively and objectively evaluate environmental
impact over a product’s entire life cycle. Thus, Fujifilm
established a system to commercialize products only after
deliberations and an evaluation of environmental product
quality, including LCA, at each stage of the product’s life
cycle. To improve procurement, Fujifilm formulated the
Green Procurement standards for suppliers as well as procured
materials and parts to be incorporated into the evaluation
of environmental product quality.

*Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
LCA is a comprehensive evaluation of a product’s environmental impact at
all stages, from development, manufacturing, and use to discharge or
reuse. Energy input, the amount of material used, CO2 emissions, and
other values are used to identify and evaluate a product’s environmental
impact throughout its lifetime.

enthusiastically strives to improve its eco-efficiency.
Although the specifications of the Fujicolor QuickSnap and an
explanation on the Inverse Manufacturing Factory are given on
other pages in this report, we would like to emphasize here that
the reuse and recycling of the Fujicolor QuickSnap can contribute
to reducing environmental impact because most of the
camera’s environmental impact is caused by the energy consumed
at its manufacturing stage. Current diverse customer needs
call for an expansion of Fujifilm’s product lineup. It is, therefore,
important to further pursue recycling efficiency by developing an

Furthermore, the stronger demand for the use of resin in components
spurs us to use the same color of resin in as many products
as possible and to the furthest extent possible and to develop
technologies that are capable of recycling such colored resin.
The Fujicolor QuickSnap has established a social reputation
as being a typical example of the principles of reduce, reuse, and
recycle (3Rs). It will be more important for us in the future to
establish a system that balances economy and recycling in pursuit
of productivity.

Self-serve quick printing system Princiao Q/Qn
Fujifilm launched its Princiao line, which is equipped with Printpix
technology. This technology enables the high-quality, inkless color
printing of pictures taken with a digital camera and helped Fujifilm
drastically reduce the environmental impact of this product line.
Environmental impact reduction
No ink ribbons or cartridges are required and no plastic
waste is generated.
Energy conservation
A roll-type paper cartridge makes cartridge exchanges
and maintenance easier.
Development of the digital camera print business
Printpix technology prints color on Printpix SD paper using a
thermal recording system, which is different from that use in ink
jet printing and laser exposure. This technology helped develop
new applications for digital camera prints thanks to the image
correction, smooth gradation, and clear shades that the technology
is capable of producing as well as the prints’ resistance to discoloration
or fading.
Special skills are not required to use this technology, and this
has led to the creation of the Princiao integrated automatic digital
print system. In 2001, the Princiao
was installed in camera shops, mass
merchandisers, sightseeing spots,
and train/subway stations. In
November 2002, the Princiao Q,
which is dedicated to printing pictures
taken with digital cameras, and
the space-saving Princiao S, which
separates the control unit and printer
and can be put on store counters or
desks, were launched. Princiao Qn,
launched in April 2003, can print
images taken by a cell phone’s built-in
camera and sent by e-mail.
The most environment-friendly benefit
of the Princiao is its lack of need for ink
ribbons and cartridges, which results in
no plastic waste being generated.

Acquisition of Type III Eco-Label for digital cameras
first in Japan
Since digital cameras first emerged in 1988, Fujifilm has been
involved with Design for Environment, which makes use of such
technologies as those used for power saving, and the basic aim to
improve the functions and quality of its products. Taking responsibility
as a pioneer, Fujifilm worked with the Japan
Environmental Management Association for Industry (JEMAI) to
create unified Type III Eco-Label standards for digital cameras.
(See page 47.)
Thus, in making the best use of its knowledge and holding
many discussions with its competitors, who also participated in
creating the standards, Fujifilm strives to set another set of standards
for LCA to calculate (quantify) the environmental impact
of digital cameras over their entire life cycles.
The quantitative calculation of environmental impact based on
the calculation standards established above resulted in the acquisition
of Type III Eco-Label for the FinePix F410. The Company
was the first in the industry to disclose information on the camera’s
environmental impact through this system.
Specifically, Fujifilm quantified its past products and adopted
the Design for Environment to evaluate and verify how much
they contributed to reducing environmental impact. Examples
include quantitative confirmation of how lighter packaging contributes
to reducing CO2 emissions.

Compact, high-speed advanced processing digital minilab Frontier 340E
The Frontier digital minilab enables the development and printing
of color photos in a short period of time right there in the store.

priced Frontier 330, which was developed in 2001, succeeded
in significantly reducing environmental impact.

Processors develop, bleach, fix, wash, and dry photosensitive materials
that are used to print pictures from film images that are read
by CCD area sensors, transformed into digital signals, and exposed
by laser. The Frontier 340E uses a new agent to speed up the
process of developing, bleaching, and fixing and significantly
improves the washing and drying of structures. By adopting the
world’s first submerged blade system to convey and process two or
more washing processes while keeping color paper dipped in the
solution, the Frontier 340E drastically improves processing speed
and capacity while remaining the same size as the Frontier 330.
A significant reduction in the number of parts used, quantity of
mother liquor used, and the length of the conveyance path prevents the
processing solution from deteriorating and stabilizes the processing.
As a result, Fujifilm reduced processing time 52% (from 3
minutes, 40 seconds, to 1 minute, 40 seconds) and increased processing
capacity 38% (from 650 sheets per hour to 900 sheets per

hour) from those of the Frontier 330.
Fujifilm also pays careful attention to reducing the environmental
impact of the Frontier 340E. The Company changed the material
used in its processing tanks from vinyl chloride to modified PPE, a
kind of engineering plastic, to reduce the amount of lead contained
and weight. The Frontier 340E has significantly less global warming
impact over its life cycle than the Frontier 370, its larger predecessor.

How to reduce the environmental impact of medical practices
Fujifilm has worked toward environmental friendliness since
1991, when it started developing the CEPROS automatic X-ray
film imaging system. The Company focuses on the working environment
and aims for such qualities as user friendliness as well
as a drastic reduction in the environmental impact of medical
practices. Following the launch of the compact desktop CEPROS
P system in 1996, which was designed for small hospitals and
private practice medical professionals, the CEPROS Q system
was launched in August 2002. The CEPROS Q system has more
darkroom space because of its capability to significantly reduce
the amount of gas emitted from the processing solution, which
allowed the exhaust pipes to be removed.
The CEPROS Q system has the same characteristics as the
CEPROS P system, i.e., they both have automatically replenishing
processing solution containers that are easy to set and does
not require the solution to be exchanged for up to six months by
applying a special processing agent, a roller washing system, and
an automatic drainage system.

Energy conservation
Reduction in power consumption while in power saving mode
Development driven by cooperation among those in
charge of photosensitive materials and equipment
In environmental terms, mainstream medical imaging systems shifted
from using wet types to dry types. In 1999, Fujifilm launched the FM-
DP L dry laser imager, which had the world’s highest processing capacity
at the time. The Company’s proprietary aqueous-coating technology,
which contained no organic solvents, received remarkable recognition
for its environmental friendliness. The DRYPIX 7000, equipped with
upgraded coating technology, enabled the high-speed processing of a
large volume of film (180 356 mm x 432 mm sheets per hour), with the
first sheet coming out within approximately 65 seconds.
Through repeated trial and error, Fujifilm developed a aqueouscoating
technology that boasts both a stability of images and improvement
in processing speed. In technical terms, effort was made to efficiently
use silver by uniformly dispersing the silver halide used in the
process. The odor emitted by organic solvents was eliminated, creating
a cleaner work environment. As for its operation, a conveyance
method was developed that conducts exposure and thermal processing
simultaneously. In developing this unique method, the people in
charge of developing photosensitive material and equipment worked
closely together. It is this kind of drive to develop an environmentfriendly
product that competitors cannot duplicate.

fills up the developer. The life of the product was dramatically
increased by adopting technologies that
improve the stability of the developer and
thoroughly prevent the developer from deteriorating
due to exposure to the air. By
applying complex technologies to improve
the developer and hardware, developer waste

Green Chemistry in Reducing the Organic
Material Cost for Color Negative Film
Fujifilm products use various chemicals for specific purposes.
In product development and manufacturing, especially in
processes that handle the chemicals, the Company focuses
on following an approach called “green chemistry,” which
avoids using chemicals that may produce waste and avoids
producing waste as much as possible in the design, synthesis,
and application stages.

Cost Reduction Resulting in Significant
Environmental Impact Reduction
Color negative film consists of TAC film, on which numerous
kinds of chemicals are applied in layers. In 1999, top
management gave the strict order to significantly reduce the
cost of 21 organic chemicals used in the coupler, which is
mixed in an emulsion for silver halide, adjustor, additives,
and sensitizing dye. From that moment on, 20 employees
from the Procurement Division, Ashigara Factory, and
Odawara Factory had the most difficult of tasks. They had to
reconsider the influence these chemicals had on product cost
in terms of efficiency and determine if they were needed, in
which case they were kept, or if they were not, in which case
they were eliminated. As a result, the 20 employees were
able to achieve an approximately 20% cost reduction by the
end of 2002 and received special recognition by the
Company.
Product cost comprises the cost of raw materials and
other relevant expenses. Among raw materials, solvents and
catalysts are often disposed of as waste after use. Therefore,
their cost can be reduced by using them more efficiently and
through recycling. From another standpoint, the efficient use
of raw materials contributes to more resources being saved
and less waste being produced while improved productivity
results in the more efficient use of energy, i.e., energy conservation.
In this way, efforts started by the 20 employees to
reduce cost also worked toward environmental friendliness
in the end.
In addition, reanalyzing the process using organic chemicals,
the 20 employees worked to improve the reaction rate
and minimize the impurity discharge. As a result, they succeeded
in switching the synthesis process to a streamlined
processing method that, for instance, uses a catalyst without
producing unstable intermediates. They also developed a
formula that eliminates the purification step, which used to
follow the reaction process conducted in several stages. This
alone contributed to a significant reduction in environmental
impact.
A number of reaction processes helped achieve streamlined
processing and elimination of the purification step,
resulting in remarkable environmental friendliness as well as
cost reduction. Thus, cost reduction and environmental
impact reduction should be considered at the same time.

Promoting GSC as a Basis for Research and
Development
Green and Sustainable Chemistry (GSC), which refers to
user- and environment-friendly chemical engineering, is
attracting attention in the chemical industry. GSC aims at
protecting people and the ecosystem by accelerating the
development of innovative chemical technologies that minimize
environmental impact throughout a product’s life cycle,
from research and development to production, use, and disposal.
Fujifilm uses GSC as the basis for its own research
and development activities. In March 2003, GSC Tokyo
2003 was held with about 760 participants from 20 countries
throughout the world. Ashigara Research Laboratories gave a
presentation on its study called Development of the aqueouscoated
photothermographic material. Fujifilm continues to
enthusiastically promote GSC-oriented research and development
activities, such as those for energy conservation and

Environmental Performance
Green Procurement and Resource
Conservation
Reinforcing Green Procurement
The Fujifilm Group formulated basic rules for Design for
Environment and implemented them in fiscal 2002. To securely
reduce the environmental impact of its products pursuant to these
basic rules, the Group strives to reduce the environmental impact
of the raw materials, parts, and packaging it procures as well as
the impact caused by the suppliers of such raw materials, parts,
and packaging.
1. Environmental Impact Reduction at Procurement
In fiscal 2002, the following Green Procurement Standards were
created for all Fujifilm Group companies.
All raw materials, parts, and packaging that are procured shall satisfy
the following conditions for Fujifilm’s chemical management categories:
1) No raw material, part, or packaging shall contain chemicals
classified as prohibited.
2) If a raw material, part, or packaging contains a chemical that
should be reduced or monitored, the quantity of such chemical
shall be identified and controlled.
Fujifilm joined the Green Procurement Survey Standardization
Council, which was established by the Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), to help
standardize surveys concerning the 28 chemical groups established
by the Council.
In addition, the Company promotes activities that respond to
the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive* that was
put into effect by the European Union (EU) in February 2003.
2. Reduction in Environmental Impact Caused by
Suppliers of Raw Materials, Parts, and Packaging
The Green Supplier Standards are as follows:
1) Suppliers shall be ISO 14001 certified or scheduled to be certified
by an authorized certification organization.
2) If a supplier is not certified, it shall observe all environmentrelated
laws and regulations and satisfy at least 70% of the 12
articles of requirement for environmental protection and chemical
management provided by Fujifilm. Moreover, the supplier
shall not deal in any chemicals specified by Fujifilm.
In fiscal 2002, Fujifilm conducted a survey on 489 suppliers
regarding their efforts to reduce environmental impact.
According to the survey, 94% of respondents said they reduced
their environmental impact, which is four percentage points higher
than the original target of 90% and a 10% increase from that in
the previous year. Fujifilm is aiming for
100% by the end of fiscal 2003.

Promoting Green Purchasing
Fujifilm wishes to acquire ISO 14001 certification as a means of
promoting Green Purchasing. To this end, the Company, led by
the Green Purchasing Promotion Committee, strives to seek out
environment-friendly products and share information with its business
sites. As a result, Fujifilm achieved a 99% Green Purchasing
rate at the end of fiscal 2002, exceeding its target of 90%. The
Company shall continue its efforts to
achieve 100% by the end of fiscal 2003.
Green purchasing rate
This rate is the proportion of funds spent on environmentally
friendly (green) products as a proportion of
total purchasing expenditures.
The green purchasing rate applied to products such
as office paper, printing paper, copiers, printers, fax
machines, PCs, stationery, office equipment, and
general supplies.
Efficient Use of Resources

Web site
Fujifilm strives to reduce the amount of limited resources used
through efficient and effective utilization. In fiscal 2002, primary
resources used at Fujifilm manufacturing facilities are shown below.
■ Input of primary materials
(Data from Fujifilm’s 6 facilities in Japan)
Silver (thousand tons) 0.87(down 13.5%)
Gelatin (thousand tons) 3.6 (down 7.1%)
PET (thousand tons) 51.2
(—)
TAC (thousand tons) 15.3 (up 29.4%)
Aluminum (thousand tons) 48.3 (down 0.4%)
As an example of past efforts to conserve resources, the quantity of
silver used in making photosensitive materials, one of our primary
products, was cut by half in the manufacturing of color negative
film and one-third for color paper over the last twenty years.
■ Primary packaging
(Data from Fujifilm’s 6 facilities in Japan)
The packaging database, which was put into full-scale operation
in fiscal 2002, makes it easier to calculate the quantity of packaging
materials used by product or product category. At present, a
study is underway to determine a numerical target for environmental
impact reduction in terms of the amount of packaging
used, based on the figures obtained. In fiscal 2002, efforts were
made to reduce the use of paper packaging and other paper materials.
This was done mainly by switching from small paper packaging
to soft, light-weight plastic.

Energy Conservation and
Reducing CO2 Emissions
Promoting Energy Conservation
In fiscal 2002, Fujifilm’s six facilities in Japan recorded a 4.8%
increase in energy consumption from that in the previous year due
to increased production, changes in the items produced, and an
increase in the number of improved prototypes made. Despite an
expected increase in production in fiscal 2003, Fujifilm continues
its efforts to reduce energy consumption and energy cost units by
streamlining the production process and improving production
technologies. In fiscal 2002, the measures shown below were carried
out by Fujifilm’s six facilities in Japan in an attempt to achieve
an energy conservation equivalent to 29.1 thousand tons of CO2.
■ Measures taken in fiscal 2002
(At Fujifilm’s 6 facilities in Japan)
• Energy-saving devices installed at key facilities or key facilities
becoming more energy efficient
• Fuel switched to natural gas or plastic waste (recycled as fuel)
• Operating conditions of facilities modified
• Energy used in lighting and air-conditioning used more efficiently
• Transportation efficiency improved
In fiscal 2003, as part of its extensive capital investment,
Fujifilm introduced cogeneration facilities that use natural gas to
the Odawara Factory. The factory is planning to reduce energy
consumption 8.6% in fiscal 2004, when the cogeneration facilities
are in full-scale operation, from that in fiscal 2002.
In line with its energy conservation measures, Fujifilm is
striving to reduce CO2 emissions. In fiscal 2002, CO2 emissions
increased 3.8% from that in the previous year for the same reasons
energy consumption increased as mentioned above. In
response, Fujifilm is, among other measures, proceeding with a
project to switch the fuel used by the private power generation
facilities at its factories from heavy oil to natural gas, which will
significantly contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
Switching to Natural Gas
Fujinomiya Factory (Shizuoka Prefecture)
In February 2003, the Fujinomiya Factory switched from using
heavy oil to natural gas at its private power generation facilities.
Continuing with this switch, Fujifilm is planning to switch half of
the fuel used by the factory to natural gas by the end of fiscal
2010. This effort was Webcast on Kankyo-goo TV (eco.goo.ne.jp
/goo-tv/index.html: Japanese only).

Measures to Cope with Global Warming, which was promulgated in December
2002. CO2 emissions are calculated assuming that thermal power generation
by power companies is reduced because of Fujifilm’s use of a cogeneration
system. (CO2 coefficient = 0.602 kg/kWh)
Reducing Water Usage

Consolidated data
The essence of Fujifilm’s environmental protection activities is
to keep water and air clean. Careful attention is paid to the
amount of water used in production activities. Despite an
increase in production in fiscal 2002, water usage was successfully
reduced, as shown below. Within the priorities for implementation
and targets of the Fujifilm Group Green Policy, water
usage is listed as an environmental impact that needs to be
reduced to improve eco-efficiency. Therefore, Fujifilm further
promotes efforts to accomplish this.

Reducing Chemical Emissions
Reducing VOC Emissions
Fujifilm’s target was to reduce the Company’s fiscal 1996
level of manufacturing-related VOC emissions 50% by fiscal
2002. Through determination and hard work, Fujifilm
reduced its VOC emissions approximately 60% in fiscal
2002, significantly surpassing its target.
Of the 18 items that need to be reduced, eight are designated
by the PRTR Law* and ten are subject to voluntary
control by Fujifilm. In fiscal 2002, the target year, Fujifilm’s
VOC emissions totaled 1,800 tons, a 58% reduction from the
4,300 tons in fiscal 1996. As for the items designated by the
PRTR Law, Fujifilm achieved a 72% reduction from its fiscal
1996 level.

PCB Management
According to the Law Concerning Special Measure against
PCB Waste, which was enacted in 2001, national and prefectural
governments are required to draw up plans for the
treatment of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and establish
an appropriate system that includes building and improving
treatment facilities.
Fujifilm carefully controls the PCBs it has in storage and
will start treatment on the chemical compound as soon as an
appropriate method is found.
In the past, the Company used PCBs as a coupler solvent
oil for previous pressure-sensing (noncarbon) paper but
switched to PCB-free pressure-sensing paper in 1971. The
Fujinomiya Factory stores and manages 10,400 m 3 of sludge
that contains approximately 1.5 tons of PCB. The PCB was
the result of manufacturing pressure-sensing paper.
Fujifilm works with Fujinomiya City authorities in conducting
twice-yearly surveys to ascertain whether PCBs in
observation wells have leaked into the groundwater or not.

Under the PRTR Law, substances of which 5 tons or more are used per year (initially per two years) at a given factory must be reported to the Ministry of the Environment. However, in this table, we have listed
substances handled in an amount of at least one ton per year.
The above figures are rounded off; therefore, the mass balance may not match.
1. “Amount consumed” refers to the amounts contained in or associated with products and the amounts decontaminated.
2. Refers to dioxins emitted by equipment used to incinerate sludge that contains silver. The measured amounts are well within the legally permitted range.

Reducing Chemical Emissions

Environmental Performance
Less Emissions into the Air and Water
Environmental Monitoring
To control emissions into the environment, Fujifilm has set
its own standards, which are stricter than those provided by
laws and regulations, in its implementation of thorough selfmanagement.
In addition, Fujifilm monitors the concentration of chemicals
that must be included in reports for submission pursuant
to the PRTR Law. The monitoring take place in the vicinity
of the factories that use such chemicals.
In addition to following the Environmental Reporting
Guidelines of the Ministry of the Environment, a detailed
survey on chemicals that have no record of being used is
conducted to strengthen the monitoring of chemical concentrations
in the soil.
Efforts Made by Factories to Reduce Emissions
into the Air
Fujifilm, especially its six facilities in Japan, strives to
reduce the amount of chemical emissions into the air by
such means as switching to natural gas, which contains
extremely little sulfur. The Company has had good results.
Its recent efforts and future plans are as follows.
Result
Plan
1995 Boiler fuel used at the Odawara Factory changed from A-type oil to Special A-type. Atmospheric
emissions of SOx reduced.
At the Ashigara Factory, we installed a high collection-efficiency dust collector in the chimney
as a measure to prevent soot emissions.
1998 We installed a wet-type electrical dust collector in the exhaust gas desulfurizer at the Fujinomiya
Factory. Atmospheric emissions of SOx redused.
2000 Solvent incinerator at the Odawara Factory closed down. Atmospheric emissions of SOx reduced.
2002 Introduction of natural gas at the Fujinomiya Factory as a way of reducing CO2 and SOx emissions
2003 Introduction of natural gas at the Odawara Factory as a way of reducing CO2 and SOx emissions
2004 Introduction of natural gas at the Ashigara Factory as a way of reducing CO2 and SOx emissions

Preventing Pollution
Surveys on the Pollution of Soil and Groundwater
and Resultant Cleanup Efforts
Fujifilm conducts voluntary environmental surveys on the
pollution of soil and groundwater. Chemicals that are used at
production sites and subject to environmental limits are
strictly controlled in terms of use, storage, and discharge
into water. Periodical monitoring is carried out on groundwater
quality so that a quick response can be given in times
of emergency.
The results of voluntary surveys conducted on Fujifilm
Group companies, mainly at their production sites, are
shown below.
The concentration of some of the chemicals found in the
soil at the Ashigara and Odawara factories exceeded environmental
limits. Both factories immediately reported the
finding to the administrative authorities and held public
meetings to explain the situation to local residents. The factories
then removed the contaminated soil and replaced it
with uncontaminated soil. (Detailed data is given in Fujifilm
Environmental Report 2002 Edition.)
Fuji Xerox’s Iwatsuki Plant and Takematsu Center completed
a similar cleanup.
In October 2000, Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd., conducted
a voluntary survey of the groundwater under its premises and
detected tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene in excess
of the environmental limit. Since then, the company has conducted
periodic cleanup activities, inspected the wells of residents
living near the company, and kept the local community
abreast of the situation. The background and progress of
these measures can be found at Fuji Photo Optical’s Web site
(www.fujinon.co.jp/jp/news/repo.htm: Japanese only).
Fujicolor Service Co., Ltd., has conducted voluntary surveys
since fiscal 2001. In one such survey, the company discovered
that the total cyanide, total mercury, and lead concentration in
the soil at its Osaka Plant, in Sakai, exceeded environmental
limits. In January 2003, Fujicolor Service reported its findings
to the municipal government, informed the local residents’
association of the situation, and immediately took appropriate
measures to clean up the contamination. Although the Company
has traced the source of the cyanide to a possible leakage that
occurred in the past, its has not yet been able to trace those of
the mercury and lead. The soil was replaced to eliminate further
contamination by total cyanide and total mercury and paved or
covered with turf to prevent the lead from spreading. These
measures were completed by April 2003. No contamination of
groundwater was found in the vicinity of the plant.

Environmental Performance
Waste Reduction and Zero Emissions
Maintaining Zero Emissions*
Aiming at establishing a recycling-based society, Fujifilm—
led by its Zero Emissions Promotion Committee—promotes
measures to achieve zero emissions. To this end, the
Company strives for the 100% recycling of all waste materials
generated by its business activities into reusable
resources and the total elimination of landfill treatment sites.
After achieving zero emissions at all production sites in fiscal
2001, Fujifilm went on to do the same at all Offices,
Sales Offices, and the Head Office in fiscal 2002. The
Company is planning to include all Group companies in
Japan by the end of fiscal 2003.
Despite the efforts of respective sites, there was a 5.5%
increase in the amount of waste generated in fiscal 2002 due
to increased production and a higher number of improved
prototypes. In fiscal 2003, more effective measures will be
drawn up and implemented through the open sharing of
views among business sites.

Environmental Impact Reduction in Distribution
Efforts by FUJIFILM Logistics Co., Ltd.
Reducing CO2 and Other Emissions by Improving
Transportation Efficiency
FUJIFILM Logistics, which is in charge of distribution for
the Fujifilm Group, strives to reduce the amount of exhaust
produced in the transport business consigned to supporting
companies and considers this to be an important environmental
issue.
In fiscal 2002, FUJIFILM Logistics acquired ISO 14001
certification and focused on further improving the reduction
rate of its CO2 emissions. With a total of 115 million
tons/km being transported, FUJIFILM Logistics succeeded
in reducing CO2 and other emissions by making the transportation
of goods more efficient, as follows:
• Promoting two-level loading
• Decreasing the number of vehicles in use by loading them
more efficiently
• Reconsidering the number of deliveries, etc.

Reuse of steel containers
In the past, packaging for X-ray film
stock and LCD film stock (bulk rolls)
were made of wood and paper, which
made reuse impossible. The packaging
was disposed of at the site where they
were opened. The reuse of packaging
was made possible by using foldingtype
steel containers. After being used
multiple times, the steel containers are
recycled as metal materials.

Increased efficiency thanks to
better loading system
To collect U.S. factory pallets used to
carry color photo base paper, tall containers*
are used and a better loading method
is employed, resulting in a 46% increase
in the carrying capacity of each container.
This has led to the need for fewer containers,
a reduction in CO2 emissions, and
more efficient transportation over land.
Reusing cardboard boxes to
return roll cores
Roll cores of X-ray film stock (bulk
rolls) sent to factories in Europe are
packed in cardboard boxes and
returned to the Packaging Center to be
reused at the Fujinomiya Factory. In
the past, the cardboard boxes were
recycled into paper, but now they are
loaded into containers along with raw
materials to be exported (provided
there is room) and returned to factories
in Europe to be reused.
*Tall containers: Containers that are 30-cm taller than standard-size
containers and used to carry tall, voluminous freight

*Ice Thermal Storage System
An ice thermal storage system makes ice at night, when electricity consumption
is less, and uses the ice for air-conditioning or other purposes during the
day. The system reduces electricity consumption during peak hours, thus
contributing to energy conservation. Moreover, the system helps save cost
by using electricity at night, when electricity is cheaper.

Environmental Protection Activities by Group
Companies
Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.
Fuji Xerox started operating a fourth ice thermal storage system*
in its laboratory in Kanagawa Prefecture as part of its efforts to
reduce CO2 emissions. The amount of energy conservation this
system can achieve is phenomenal. Under an agreement with
Japan Natural Energy Company Limited, Fuji Xerox started using
1.7 million kWh of wind-generated electricity. The system’s wind
turbines stands on Lake Towada, in Akita Prefecture. In addition,
the eucalyptus forest that Fuji Xerox planted six years ago in New
Zealand now covers approximately 10 thousand ha of land. The
forest is expected to absorb at least 70 thousand tons of CO2. Fuji
Xerox is planning to use eucalyptus trees to make pulp for copier
paper and help preserve the natural forest.
Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd.
Fuji Photo Optical strives to reduce VOC emissions into the air
as a means of preventing global warming, ozone layer depletion,
and health hazards. Fuji Photo Optical replaced VOCs with
appropriate substitutes and started using automatic cleanup
devices intensively. As a result, the company achieved the target
set at the beginning of fiscal 2002, which was to reduce VOC
emissions 20% from that in fiscal 2000. Fuji Photo Optical continues
in its efforts while promoting energy conservation and
zero emissions.
Fuji Photo Film B.V.
Fuji Photo Film, a Fujifilm production company in the
Netherlands, continues to take measures to improve under ISO
14001, which the company acquired in December 1997.
Improvements in seven specific areas include the management of
chemicals called significant environmental aspects (SEAs), a
reduction in the amount of waste generated, and energy conservation.
Fuji Photo Film is looking towards the future and into sustainable
measures, including updating and expanding the environmental
management system into a more energy-efficient one and
reviewing the payout time.
The company is ultimately
aiming at an annual average
reduction of 0.8% in energy
consumption and a total
reduction of 10% in 2012.
FUJIFILM PHOTONIX Co., Ltd.
FUJIFILM PHOTONIX is engaged in environmental protection
activities, aiming at the 100% reuse and recycling of industrial
wastes. By the end of fiscal 2002, FUJIFILM PHOTONIX
achieved this target through such efforts as creating new methods
of recycling metal and plastic composites, which were used as
landfill due to the difficulty of sorting them. Also, FUJIFILM
PHOTONIX is developing activities to achieve the zero emissions
of industrial and general wastes by the end of fiscal 2002. The
company is making follow-up efforts at all of its plants after
acquiring ISO 14001 certification, setting targets for the reduction
of waste generated in the production process, the use of electricity
and other forms of energy, and the use of dangerous chemicals.
FUJIFILM Imaging Systems (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.
In China, which is showing a big economic boom, is experiencing
significant changes in its environmental efforts. Having
acquired ISO 14001 certification and being the location of a
number of companies that also acquired ISO 14001 certification,
Suzhou dubbed itself the leading environment-friendly city in
China. Following an environmental policy based on the Fujifilm
Responsible Care policy, FUJIFILM Imaging Systems (Suzhou)
started activities to acquire ISO 14001 certification and was certified
in October 2000. The company is making follow-up efforts
at all of its plants after acquiring ISO 14001 certification, setting
targets for the reduction in the amount of waste generated during
the production process, the use of electricity and other forms of
energy, and the use of
dangerous chemicals.
Fuji Photo Film, Inc.
Fuji Photo Film, based in Greenwood, a city in the southeastern
part of the United States, produces such products as color negative
film, color paper, PS plates, graphic art film, VHS video
tapes, computer backup tapes, the Fujicolor QuickSnap, and
medical-use X-ray film. Fuji Photo Film acquired ISO 14001 certification
in April 1999. Since then, the company has continued
its efforts toward environmental protection by setting targets for
the improvement of its recycling rate and waste reduction and
compiled the results, along with the company’s Green Policy, in
its environmental report. In the United States, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) leads the world in the managing and
regulating of chemicals, and companies are encouraged to follow
the EPA’s approach to using and managing such chemicals.
Because some issues, such as the reduction in the concentration
of silver in wastewater and the better removal of chemicals from
exhaust, are quite technically challenging, earnest efforts are
being made to introduce and develop new technologies that solve
these issues. Fuji Photo Film also subsidized a study to preserve
the water quality of the Saluda River and took part in a wildlife
protection program called Wildlife and Industry Together
(W.A.I.T.). The company’s acquisition of ISO 14001 certification
was attributed to recognition of these efforts. Fuji Photo
Film will continue to work closely with local communities to
protect the richness of nature, which is considered a common
asset.

Social Performance
Relationship with Employees
Fujifilm believes that the well-being of its employees will improve
and nurture the capacity of the Company. Recognizing that people
with distinct and vibrant personalities make for a robust company
structure, Fujifilm established educational programs and a personnel
system that focuses on such features as the development of
independent skills, a fair evaluation of and feedback to each
employee, and the provision of a fulfilling workplace.
Development of Independent Skills
Education and training
Fujifilm’s basic idea of personnel and skill development is the
nurturing of employees who are responsible for the Company’s
trust. Programs that focus on developing the independence of
employees and job-related experiences are complemented by
group programs by position.

Fair Evaluation of and Feedback to Each Employee
Personnel system
To give employees a sense of fulfillment in their jobs, it is important
to provide them with skill development opportunities, comfortable
and worthwhile workplaces, and fair evaluation and
compensation. Fujifilm provides employees with brochures so
that they will be well-informed about the framework for qualifications,
wages, and evaluations. Evaluation results are given
directly to the employee at the interview.
Self-initiative system
Rotation
Providing a Fulfilling Workplace
Making use of a goal-oriented management system
and self-notification system
To make the best use of employees’ skills, their enthusiasm needs to
be directed toward their jobs. Fujifilm’s goal-oriented management
system gives employees the opportunity to show their skills by having
them meet with their superiors semiannually to review their evaluation
and set job targets according to their wishes and willingness.
The self-notification system is carried out every two years to
support career development. The Company interviews employees
who wishing to advance their careers.
By identifying the employees’ strengths, aptitude, and skills,
Fujifilm strives to prepare a suitable workplace for them in order
to make the best use of their abilities.
Days off and leaves of absence
Despite their willingness to work, employees may be obliged to
take leaves of absence for such personal reasons as childcare or
nursing care. Fujifilm offers a variety of leaves.
■ Childcare leave and maternity leave
Before and after giving birth, female employees are allowed to
take maternity leave for seven weeks (one week longer than
legally required) prior to giving birth and eight weeks (the same
as legally required) after giving birth. Employees, whether male
or female, are allowed to take childcare leave for a maximum of
two years until the child(ren) turns three years old.
The number of employees who went on childcare leave in fiscal
2002 was 54.
■ Nursing-care leave
Employees are allowed to take nursing-care leave for a maximum
of one year per person who needs nursing care. Expired special
holidays given in appreciation of services can be used for a maximum
of 15 consecutive days for nursing care. Taking the
increased expenses of nursing care into consideration, Fujifilm
established a nursing-care loan system for employees.
The number of employees who went on nursing-care leave in
fiscal 2002 was 4.
■ Volunteer leave
Employees are allowed to take volunteer leave for a maximum of
one year (a maximum of two years and six months for the Japan
Overseas Cooperation Volunteers). Expired special holidays
given in appreciation of services can be used for a maximum of
15 consecutive days for volunteering.
Measures against discrimination
Fujifilm strives to develop a working environment that is free
from discrimination and is comfortable for employees.
■ Preventing sexual Harassment
Fujifilm is determined to prevent gender discrimination.
Guidelines to prevent sexual harassment are given to all employees,
and a sexual harassment hotline is available to offer counsel-
ing to employees who are sexually harassed.
All Fujifilm Group companies give out the same guidelines
and make sexual harassment hotlines available. Thus, efforts in
this area are made Groupwide.
■ Employing the physically challenged
Fujifilm promotes the employment of the physically challenged with
the viewpoint that it is necessary for them to find their place at work
and engage in jobs in which they can show their aptitude, skills, and
willingness to work. In March 2003, 1.7% of Fujifilm employees
were physically challenged, which is a little lower than the 1.8% that
is legally required. Nevertheless, led by the Committee to Promote
the Employment of the Physically Challenged, Fujifilm continues in
its efforts to let those employees find their place at work. Such
efforts include creating employment opportunities by undertaking
jobs that used to be assigned to subcontractors, shuffling and modifying
the work flow, improving the work environment, and establishing
a system to promote them to regular positions.

Asaka Research Laboratories
A variety of efforts are similarly made at the Fujinomiya Factory,
Yoshida-Minami Factory, and Miyanodai Technology
Development Center.
Occupational health and safety—Providing a safe workplace
Fujifilm believes that occupational safety is a foundation and
premise of production activities.
Based on a policy that places the highest priority on safety,
Fujifilm makes Companywide efforts to secure the health and
safety of its employees. For example, if there should be a serious
accident, both labor and management will work together to ensure
the safety of the workplace to prevent similar accidents from
occurring and provide countermeasures throughout the Company.

To improve the employees’ health by focusing on health
maintenance and the prevention and early detection of diseases,
Fujifilm carries out measures to prevent lifestyle diseases and
mental illness. The Company and corporate physicians organized
the Company Committee for Physical and Mental Health to work
toward the prevention and early detection of mental illness
according to plan. Specifically, a mental health education program
for managers was started.
■ FMSDS
When handling chemicals, having information on relevant laws
and regulations as well as the toxicity of the chemicals being
handled is indispensable. In addition to the Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS’s), Fujifilm established its own database called
Fuji Material Safety Data Sheets (FMSDS’s) for the thorough
management of occupational and environmental safety.
FMSDS’s provide employees with information on environmental
safety management that is needed when chemicals are handled in
the manufacturing process. The database can be searched from
the manufacturing site whenever necessary.

Product Safety Management
According to the enactment of the Product Liability (PL) Law in 1995, Fujifilm shifted its organization-oriented efforts from
product safety management to a Companywide approach. Fujifilm, therefore, strives to secure product safety by formulating a
basic product safety policy and key safety obligations as follows.
Basic Product Safety Policy (Formulated June 15, 1995)
Fujifilm acknowledges that it has a responsibility to the community to produce safe products and will make safety measures
a part of every stage of the lives of its products, from development through manufacturing, marketing, use, servicing,
and disposal.
Key Safety Obligations
1. To comply with all laws and regulations relating to product safety
2. To promote product safety measures in every stage of a product’s life, including development, manufacturing, marketing, use,
servicing, and disposal
3. To ensure that consumers are fully aware of the safety information relevant to product use and disposal
4. To set up a response system for emergencies, such as product defects
5. To continuously accumulate and establish methods for improving product safety
6. To implement comprehensive employee education and training regarding product safety
Promotion System
The PL Committee was established in April 1995 to
consider items relating to the promotion of measures
and activities stipulated in Fujifilm’s Companywide
guidelines for product safety management.
PL Committee
Committee chairman
Director in charge of product safety and the environment
Secretariat
General Manager of the Environmental
Protection & Product Safety Div.

MSDS and AIS
MSDS’s provide information on safety for people and the
ecosystem when handling chemicals in order to prevent
accidents caused by such chemicals.
In July 1997, Fujifilm began posting MSDS’s on developers
on its Web site (www.fujifilm.co.jp/msds: Japanese
only) to provide information. Also specified on the sheets
are the chemicals subject to the PRTR Law and Industrial
Safety and Health Law, if used. As of July 2003, more than
1,000 MSDS’s were prepared.
Marketing divisions provide MSDS’s in printed form or
on CD-ROMs.
According to regulations for the Creation of
Environmental and Safety Information Sheets for Article
Products (formulated April 2003), Fujifilm provides information
on tangible products, including film and photographic
paper, which are not subject to issuance of MSDS’s, on
Article Information Sheets (AIS) at its marketing divisions.
Three Systems
Fujifilm has three product safety systems in place,
as shown in the figure below. Each system is
aimed at ensuring product safety.

Environmental Labeling Programs
Fujifilm is making a variety of efforts in the pursuit of environmental
quality. These efforts include making use of environmental
labeling programs and positive information disclosure.
• FinePix F410
Since the launch of its first digital camera in 1988, Fujifilm
has been working toward not only improving functions and
product quality but creating the Design for Environment,
which facilitates reductions in environmental impact through
energy-saving technologies and resource saving by employing
lighter packaging materials. In April 2003, FinePix
F401, a new product equipped
with a next-generation Super
CCD Honeycomb IV HR for
higher picture quality, was the
first Fujifilm digital camera to
acquire a Type III Eco-Label.
• Fujicolor QuickSnap
In September 2002, five QuickSnap products (the Fujicolor
QuickSnap Simple Eye 800 Flash 15/27/39 and QuickSnap
Simple Ace Flash 27/39) acquired a Type III Eco-Label. In
2001, the Fujicolor QuickSnap Simple Eye 800 Flash 27 and
QuickSnap Super Eye 800 line were the first single-use cameras
to acquire the Eco Mark under the product category of
plastic products using recycled materials. Recognition was
given to Fujifilm’s efforts toward environment-friendliness
by improving the contents of recycled plastic obtained from
used QuickSnap products to about 40%. The resin used in
QuickSnap products used to be
pelletized after heat-melting.
Fujifilm developed an improved
pelletizing-less process, in
which crushed plastic is washed
in hot water, dried, and used as
mold material. This process is
able to reduce the environmental
impact of heat-melting while
significantly increasing the consumption
of recycled plastic.
Fujifilm continues to disclose
information pursuant to the Eco
Leaf program to provide more
environment-friendly products.
Environmental information on products can be confirmed at
Fujifilm’s Web site (www.fujifilm.co.jp/ecoleaf/: Japanese
only).
What is Environmental Labeling?
Environmental labeling aims at accurately providing consumers with information on the product environment through the products themselves, technical
reports, and advertisements. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) classifies the labeling into the following three categories:
• Type I: Third-Party Certification (ISO 14024)
Product categories and labeling standards are established and
managed by independent certification organizations. In Japan,
Eco Mark falls under this category. Eco Mark screens applicants
before allowing them to use Eco Mark. The Eco Mark can be
attached to certified products to encourage environment-conscious
consumers to purchase them.
The Eco Mark is attached to environment-friendly products
certified by the Japan Environment Association as being environment-friendly
throughout the product’s entire life cycle.
Certification standards are set by product category. Eco Mark is
the sole Type I environmental label pursuant to the
ISO criteria. The official Web site of the Japan
Environment Association can be found at
www.jeas.or.jp/english/index.html.
•Type II: Self-declared Environmental Claims (ISO 14021)
Business entities make environmental claims on their products
to attract the attention of the market without the requirement of a
third-party judgment.
Product Environmental Information
•Type III: Environmental Declaration (ISO TR 14025)
This declaration quantitatively displays the resources and energy
consumed over the product’s entire life cycle (from development
of raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, use, recycling,
and final consumption to final disposal) as well as the
environmental impact generated from said product’s life cycle.
Disclosing the information on the Internet or other media is useful
for the Green Purchasing and Green Procurement of customers
while also being useful for further motivating companies
to identify the quantitative data by themselves for environmental
impact reduction. ISO issues technical reports (TRs) and is considering
the establishment of an international standardization for
this environmental label in the future. Type III Eco-Label of the
Eco-Leaf program, which is organized by the Japan
Environmental Management Association for Industry (JEMAI),
falls under this category.
JEMAI’s official Web site can be found at
www.jemai.or.jp/english/ecoleaf_e/default.htm.

Organizational Structure and Systems for
Customer Support
Customer’s Communication Center (CCC) and
Technology Support Center (SC)
The Customer’s Communication Center (CCC), established
in 1990, is Fujifilm’s comprehensive information center. At
present, 31 experts with advanced technical skills directly
handle more than 60,000 inquiries annually.
To deal with digital technologies that are becoming highly
developed day by day, Fujifilm established the Technical
Support Centers (SCs). SCs employ approximately 350 technician,
and each center deals with a different product group.
Fujifilm handles about 600,000 inquiries from customers and
information on repair for customers, including inquiries made at
CCC, SCs, and its official Web site each year, and information
is provided by service centers from all over the country.
The official Web site employs up-to-date information on
new products and FAQs. There are approximately 150 million
visitors who visit the Web site a month, in other words, about
10 million pages are viewed a month.
improvement, and countermeasures.
•Databank: The QuickFeedback databank consists of
CCnet, a database comprising 430,000 entries; MINDS, a
database for information on technologies and product
quality; and the SC database. CCnet and MINDS share
information to enable mutual reference and analysis.
• Feedback system: Information extracted from the databank
can be studied in more detail by a variety of surveys
on consumers, group interviews, and dealers. Extracted
information, along with technical aspects, is brought to
study meetings to give feedback to customers (market) for
commercialization, product improvement, and countermeasures.
Universal Design
The concept of a universal design was created by Ronald L.
Mace of North Carolina State University in 1990. The concept
calls for the design to be friendly to and usable by all
people to the greatest extent possible, regardless of nationality,
race, age, gender, and abilities.
The Fujifilm Design Center started universal designs five
years ago and has promoted usability evaluation* activities
since 2002. Universal design is expanding business opportunities
because of the increase in lot numbers at reasonable
prices for unrestricted markets.
Here are examples of Fujifilm products that adopt a universal
design.
• Fujicolor QuickSnap: When the Fujicolor QuickSnap
was developed in 1986, there was no concept of a universal
design. However, this product, developed so that anyone
can take good photos anytime and anywhere, must be
a pioneer in the area of universal designs.
• QuickSnap Excellent: Fully adopting the use of a universal
design, the QuickSnap Excellent pursues better
photo quality and user-friendliness.
• The Silvi F2.8 compact camera: The Silvi F2.8 was
developed for middle-aged or elder women who are free
from child raising and now have the time and money for
traveling. It features user-friendliness by adopting a large
LCD. Designed to stand out in a display window, Silvi
F2.8 actually attracts public attention.
Promoting further efforts for universal design, Fujifilm
continues its efforts to create user-friendly and worthwhile
products that can be used by all people.
*Usability evaluations objectively evaluate the user-friendliness
of products using data or other means and give feedback
to be incorporated in future designs.

Social Performance
Relationship with Suppliers
Basic Idea of Purchasing
Fujifilm is a member of the international community, and as
such would like to contribute to social development by continuously
providing customers with better products and services.
In 1990, Fujifilm formulated regulations for purchasing
and managing materials needed for its products and services.
1. Rational Selection Standards
Suppliers are chosen based on rational and clear standards
for product quality, price, stability in supply, and corporate
trust.
2. Open and Fair Opportunities for Suppliers
Business opportunities are widely and fairly open to all suppliers,
both in Japan and overseas. Fujifilm earnestly considers
businesses with new suppliers, other than those with
whom we are already doing businesses.
3. Legal Compliance, Resource Conservation, and
Environmental Protection
Fujifilm, as a good citizen contributing to society, complies
with all relevant laws and regulations related to purchasing
and pays careful attention to resource conservation and environmental
protection.
Purchasing Policies
To applying the basic idea of purchasing to actual purchasing,
Fujifilm formulated purchasing policies to encourage
fair purchasing. The policies are as follows:
Purchasing Procedures
After a potential supplier submits an application and
Fujifilm makes inquiries into the said supplier, the following
procedures should be taken. When all conditions have been
met, an official agreement shall be entered into.

Supporting the Eco-Stage
Score: 96
Rank A
To promote and disseminate the Environmental Management
Evaluation and Supporting System (Eco-Stage), which
expansively supports the enhancement of environmental
management, Fujifilm supports the Eco-Stage Research
Association with the participation of relevant companies,
universities, and local governments, including the Tokyo
metropolitan government. The Eco-Stage system has a variety
of characteristics, which include (1) a system that is able
to respond to the needs of companies that are having difficulties
acquiring ISO 14001 certification due to their lack of
environmental management know-how and that would like to
upgrade their own environmental management systems; (2)
participants are able to freely join the system at any stage,
taking into consideration their current status; and (3) participants
are able to establish and run environmental management
systems equivalent to ISO 14001 with less expenses. In
the eco stage system, the Third-Party Evaluation Committee,
consisting of NPOs and academic experts, evaluates the
efforts of the companies, including how they established and
made use of environmental management systems in five
grades. Even after certifications are given, environmental
audit specialists visit the companies for an annual evaluation
to promote improvements in several stages. Aiming at leading
the eco stage system, Fujifilm continuously strives to further
upgrade Group companies after they acquire ISO 14001
certification as well as incorporate the eco stage system into
the Green Procurement Standards for its suppliers.
Environmental Management Level by Eco-stage
Eco-stage 5 Prime cost improvement and information disclosure
Eco-stage 4 Performance improvement
Eco-stage 3 System improvement
Eco-stage 2 ISO 14001 or equivalent

Dealing with Complaints
In fiscal 2002, Fujifilm received the five complaints shown below:
Noise: Complaints were made concerning a buzz caused by
defects in the procedures for water pump repairs and the
noise produced by heavy machinery doing groundwork for
the building construction. To placate local residents, they
were told that procedures were being reviewed and countermeasures
taken to prevent it from happening again.
Complaints were also made concerning electromagnetic
interference and garbage left in a parking lot. In both cases,
measures were quickly taken to obtain the acceptance of
local residents. Fujifilm shall do its utmost to ensure such
problems will not happen again.

FGF results in fiscal 2002
■ Preparation of the benthos database in the Ariake
Inland Sea and Shimabara Bay
(Center for Marine Environmental Studies, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto Prefecture)
The environment of the Ariake Inland Sea and Shimabara Bay is
changing due to social factors, including the reclamation of tidal
flats, development of heavy industries, and construction of dams
in rivers running into the area.
For measures to appropriately protect the environment of tidal
flats and shoals, it is required to conduct regular surveys over an
extended period of time on the quality of the water and seabed
from the beach to offshore to find out how the environment deteriorated.
However, fewer organizations have expensive equipment
needed for marine research. It is therefore necessary to establish
environmental evaluation standards so that local residents, who are
most sensitive to environmental changes, can use such equipment.
In this project, the standards were made after analyzing the relationship
between environmental factors and the distribution of benthic
foraminifera, ostracoda, and micro shellfish, which have different habitats
in the sea and seabed. The data of distribution as well as images
were compiled in the database so that the standards can be used by the
local residents and governmental authorities for joint research.

Promotional Activities of the Fujifilm Greenery Fund
In 1983, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its establishment,
Fujifilm contributed ¥1 billion to establish the Fujifilm
Greenery Fund (FGF). This organization is the first public trust
established by a private company in Japan to have the preservation
of nature as its theme. Every year, the fund contributes to
various activities pertaining to the preservation and improvement
of the environment. The fund had contributed to a total of 75 projects
by the end of fiscal 2002.
■ Construction of an observation route for the field observation
of the strata of the Tama River midstream bed and the
establishment of an assistance system for observation
(Faculty of Education, Tokyo Gakugei University, Tokyo)
The Tama River midstream bed is a very valuable place in the
Tokyo metropolitan area for stratum observation and fossil collection.
Especially in the area next to the green park in
Tachikawa, Tokyo, stratum from approximately 1.3 million years
ago is exposed, and the footprints of elephants and deer as well
as the fossils of plants and shellfish can be found there. Here,
geographical changes, from the shoals to the land, can be seen.
Observation of nature, including strata around the schools,
was stipulated as a requisite in the new course of study enacted in
2002. Therefore, the Tama River midstream is the best field
observation point for strata.
Under this project, results of the observation were compiled in
a textbook to be used to teach about Tokyo’s environment in the
past, and curricula based on the textbook were devised. Based on
this, an observation route was established and assistance system
for the field stratum observation was created.
Disclosing FGF efforts at Kankyo-goo, a portal site* of environmental information
In October 2002, Kankyo-goo TV, a part of Kankyo-goo, a portal
site for environmental information managed by NTT-X, began
posting Fujifilm’s efforts toward environmental protection. The
first and second issues focused on FGF efforts for social contribution,
and the purpose and activities of FGF was Webcast. The
Web site for Kankyo-goo TV can be found at eco.goo.ne.jp/gootv/index.html
(Japanese only).
Activities in Local Communities
■ Ashigara Factory
In May 2002, working with the Miyanodai Technology
Development Center, the Ashigara Factory implemented a volunteer
project called Green Aid Strategy in Ashigara and Miyanodai
to clean up the communities. In October 2002, factory employees
mowed grass and sowed seeds in the area, from the Ohizumi
Kawara Bridge to the Kanzaki Bridge along the Kari River.
■ Odawara Factory
One hundred fifteen factory employees helped clean up the
Sakawa River in May 2002, and 36 employees did the same for
the Sanno River and Kuno River in June of that year. Also, 11
leaders of the local residents’ association were invited to be
briefed on the recent progress made at the factory and to make
requests on behalf of the association.
■ Fujinomiya Factory
Approximately 500 employees participated in cleaning up the
Urui River and roads running along the river in June 2002, and
about 200 employees participated in the Green Aid Strategy at
Lake Tanuki in September of that year.
■ Yoshida-Minami Factory
In November 2002, roughly 250 factory employees and their
families participated in a 6.5-km walk rally and garbage collecting
along the rally course.
■ Miyanodai Technology Development Center
In May 2002, approximately 300 employees participated in a
walking event and garbage collection in Kuno, Odawara. The
employees also participated in cleaning up the Miyanodai area
and beautifying Kaisei-machi.
■ Asaka Technology Development Center
In May 2002, as a part of the Green Aid Strategy, employees collected
garbage around the Asaka Technology Development
Center and the company-owned housing. In addition, the chairperson
of the local residents’ association and representatives of
Asaka City were invited to share their views on environmental
management activities.
Tree Planting
As a part of the Company’s environment-related social contribution
activities, Fujifilm labor unions established the Green Smile
Fund to promote and support a variety of activities. To this end,
the employees participate in an annual tree planting activities in
China organized by the Green Cooperation Group, an NGO aiming
to restore forests. In fiscal 2002, 13 employees were dispatched
to Horqin Desert, a new destination for the Group, for
eight days, from April to May 2002, as volunteers to plant poplar
saplings and other activities.
Being a Partner in the Protection of Water
Conservation Forests in Kanagawa
Kanagawa Prefecture promotes the protection of water conservation
forests to preserve the rich forests at riverheads for future
generations and secure a stable supply of clean water.
In 1998, Kanagawa established a partnership for water conservation
forests to solicit donations from corporate entities located in
the prefecture as well as from its citizens. For this project, Fujifilm
has given donations since 2000, and the employees of the Ashigara
Factory volunteer for forest protection activities every year.
Dispatching Speakers
Fujifilm earnestly dispatches employees to speak or teach about
environmental protection at seminars and training sessions.
Teaching recycling at an elementary school
In November 2002, two speakers were dispatched to a recycling experience
seminar held at Kamiitabashi Daini Elementary School, Itabashiku,
Tokyo. At the seminar, the speakers talked about the recycling-oriented
production of QuickSnap
single-use cameras. The students
learned about the workflow of
product disassembly using models
and visited the Fujicolor QuikSnap
inverse manufacturing factory to
see how the QuickSnap is produced
and recycled.
RC education in Thailand
A lecture being given to 60 third-grade
elementary students on recycling systems
In February, Fujifilm dispatched instructors from its
Environmental Protection & Product Safety Division to the
Chemical Industry Association of Thailand for two weeks for a
responsible care (RC) seminar
upon the request of the Japan
Responsible Care Council
(JRCC). Representatives from
Thai companies, governmental
authorities, and schools went to
the seminar to learn about the
Trainees in a group discussion
idea of and efforts for RC.
In addition to the opportunities stated above, Fujifilm employees
served as instructors at special seminars at the Faculty of Business
Administration in Kanagawa University and the Faculty of Business
& Commerce in Keio University and at seminars organized by the
Chemical Society of Japan for the benefit of the general public.

INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION REPORT
ON “THE FUJIFILM SUSTAINABILITY
REPORT/2003”
Independent Assurance Report on Fujifilm
Sustainability Report 2003
(English Translation)
To. Shigetaka Komori
President
Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.
July 18, 2003
1. Scope and Objectives of Assurance
We have been asked to review the “Fujifilm Environmental
Report 2003 Edition” (“the Report”) of Fuji Photo Film Co.,
Ltd. (“the Company”). The preparation of the Report is the
responsibility of the Company.
The objective of this assurance is to express our independent
opinion on:
1. The reliability of processes used to identify, collect and
report significant environmental information included in
the Report;
2. The consistency of information included in the Report
with supporting documents obtained during our review
process on a sampling basis; and
3. The accuracy of information on PRTR substances and
wastes at the sites visited excluding the Headquarters.
This independent assurance report, however, does not provide
any assurance on the completeness of the information
contained in the Report.
2. Basis of Opinion
Currently, there are no generally accepted environmental
reporting and assurance standards. Therefore, we have
referred to emerging practices and guidance.
To reach our opinion, we conducted the following procedures
at the Headquarters, Fujinomiya Site, Fuji Photo
Optical Co., Ltd. and Fujifilm Photonix Co., Ltd.
At the Headquarters
• Interviews with management and persons responsible for
processes to control, collect and compile information
reported from sites in Japan and abroad; and
• Inspection and comparison of information obtained with
related documents.
Comments
This year we expanded our scope of review as requested by the
Company, and have visited the Headquarters, 1 site, and 2 group companies
in Japan. We also plan to visit and conduct review procedures
at the Headquarters and sites of Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., a significant
group company, in August this year. Social items as well as environmental
items were subjects for our assurance this year (refer to the
chart at the bottom of page 55). In addition to the opinion expressed
above, we made a number of comments and suggestions to improve
environmental management of the Company. The summary of our
comments is as follows:
1. General
(1) Disclosure of Social Information
The company has included the following social information in the
Report: corporate ethics, personnel system, and partner relationships
such as purchasing transactions and customer relationships as well as
environmental information. Especially, the Company clearly reported
its commitment to corporate social responsibility including its corporate
governance system, corporate ethics embedded in its corporate
policy and employees’ code of conduct, promotion system, and how
such information is disclosed. Next year’s step would be to expand
At the sites we visited
• Interviews with management in charge of environmental
matters and representatives from each operational unit
who are responsible for information control, collection and
reporting; and
• Inspection and comparison of information obtained with
related documents.
3. Opinion
On the basis of the above work, we have reached the following
opinion:
1. The processes used to identify, collect and report significant
environmental information included in the
Report were appropriate and reliable.
2. The information included in the Report is consistent
with the supporting documents obtained on a sample
basis during our review process. No significant errors
that should have been corrected were identified as a
result of our test.
3. The information included in the Report on PRTR substances
and wastes subject to our review process is
accurate.

the range of disclosure so that more detailed information on female
employment, labor safety issues and group companies is also included
in the Report. We suggest the Company further strengthen cooperation
between divisions responsible for compilation of the Report and
social matters in the future so that identification of focal social activities
to be reported will be easily done. We hope the progress of such
activities will be reported in the subsequent reports.
(2) Cooperation with Group Companies
The company has established “The Comprehensive Risk Management
Committee” for preventing and responding to various risks, and shows
the risk management system in the Report. In respect to the environment,
an “Task Force on Environment-related Risk” has been established
in addition to the “FRC Committee”, which is the companywide
organization for environmental and safety management, so that
the management itself can prevent risks from occurring and promote
risk management.
In order to broaden the scope of social responsibility to a groupwide
level, we hope that the risk management system is expanded to
the whole group and cooperation among the group companies with the
Headquarters in the center is strengthened even more.
(3) Strategic Use of Environmental and Social Information
As the leader of the group companies following the “Fujifilm Group
Green Policy”, the Company collects environmental and some social
information of the group. When revising part of “Fujifilm Group
Green Policy” at the end of FY 2002, it set environmental efficiency as
one of its performance parameters, which is calculated on revenue, so
as to decrease the 6 environmental impacts incurring from its operations.
The target for FY 2010 is to achieve twice the level of 2002. In
order to accomplish this target, more detailed and accurate data will
need to be collected. Feedback on analyzed results should be sent
back to the group companies as well as utilizing the information strategically
for corporate management.
The company also prepares and discloses environmental accounting
and social accounting as “sustainable accounting”, and thereby
attempts to use the analyzed results for the Company and group management.
The next step would be to develop environmental and social
accounting to suit the current status of the Company. We hope that in
the future environmental
accounting will be expanded
to overseas group companies,
that more social
items and the calculation
of effects be considered as
well as costs in social
accounting.
Independent verification
(4) Environmental Quality of Products
Starting from 2003, “Design for Environment (DfE)” was implemented
in the whole group to decrease impact on the environment through
product-life-cycle. It promotes green purchasing throughout the group
and is expected to improve the environmental quality of the products.
It is hoped that such data collected through this process will be used to
provide more reliable environmental information to the customers.
Such approach would certainly expand the market of environment conscious
products.
(5) Communication with the Stakeholders
Discussions with the readers on “The FUJIFILM Environmental
Report 2002 Edition” were held in April this year. The Company listened
to the opinions of the stakeholders who attended the discussions,
and some opinions were reflected in this year’s Report.
We hope that the reader’s opinions can be reflected more widely in
the Report to enrich and improve its contents, so that the Report
becomes more useful to the users and “the efforts and results towards
sustainable development” are better understood. To gain such results,
an organized information process needs to be constructed to meet the
different needs of various groups of stakeholders.
2.Fujinomiya Site
We visited Fujinomiya Site for the second consecutive year. From last
year, Fujinomiya Research Center has strengthened their chemical
substance control system and has documented the rules for calculating
usage, disposal, and transportation of PRTR substances at the entire
plant, based on the current situation of the production divisions and
research center.
The next step would be post-evaluation of the environmental measures
implemented. Especially in the case of Fujinomiya Site, postevaluation
of measures such as installing VOC treatment equipment to
reduce VOC emissions could be conducted using environmental
accounting methods. In that way, the costs and benefits of environmental
protection can be identified and used for site management.
The Fujinomiya Site has sludge that includes PCB. In respect to
this matter, we confirmed that the underground water is not contaminated
by PCB in the measured area, based on the report to the local
regulator and measurement certificate. While it develops soil cleanup
technology, the Site can only adopt a control approach towards this
issue. But it is hoped that the required measures can be taken as soon
as the technical and legal issues are cleared. We hope that the entire
Fujinomiya Site including the Research Center and group companies,
may strengthen their environmental management system to a higher
level.
3.Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd.
Fuji Photo Optical controls its environmental activities on a quarterly
basis and actively communicates with the surrounding community the
contamination risks of soil and underground water by frequently
explaining the cleansing process of soil and underground water contamination.
It has also implemented DfE to some products including packaging
and is actively providing environmental information of the products to
its customers. From 2003, it has dynamically implemented DfE to all
of the products.
However, part of the data collection process has not been documented
and that process is not shared among the organization. Such
an issue can be easily resolved to achieve advanced management and
communication.
Fuji Photo Optical is a member of the Fujifilm group and functions as
the headquarters and R&D center to Fuji Photo Optical’s affiliate companies,
and therefore, holds the responsibility to control environmental
and social aspects of the companies. It is important to provide education
and motivation to the affiliate companies and take lead in identifying
performance information on environmental and social activities of
the companies. In addition to identifying the targets and progress of
disaster prevention and environmental activities, Fuji Photo Optical is
expected to take leadership in improving management of such environmental
and social aspects in general.
4. FUJIFILM PHOTONIX Co., Ltd.
In April 2002, Fujifilm Photonix merged with Fujifilm Celltec and is
actively working to improve its environmental management by controlling
workplace safety, waste reduction activities, and related data
(such as energy data control for improvement).
Fujifilm Photonix is situtated next to Fujifilm Microdevices Co.,
Ltd. Using this advantage, the two companies are exchanging information
to some extent and have implemented measures on workplace
safety and environment protection activities (energy and wastes).
In 2001, the three companies (Fujifilm Photonix, Fujifilm Celltec
and Fujifilm Microdevices) conducted a soil and underground water
contamination study together. At our site visit, we confirmed that
there is no soil or underground water contamination at the measured
area according to the measurement certificate included in a study
report prepared by a third party organization.
We hope that Fujifilm Photonix and Fujifilm Microdevices will
continue to identify and exchange information on environmental management
in general, and that not only their performance but also their
environmental management and corporate management can be upgraded
to a higher degree.

Glossary
Glossary
Eco mark
A mark awarded to products by the Japan Environment Association in recognition
of the fact that the products play a role in protecting the environment
through measures, such as reducing the impact on the environment of everyday
life.
Endocrine
A term referring to secretions and hormones produced by an endocrine
gland. Chemical substances that alter the endocrine system in a human or
animal and lead to harmful effects in its body or in its offspring are called
endocrine-disrupting hormones (or environmental hormones). It is suspected
that some chemical substances have this effect, and these chemicals are
referred to by Fujifilm as suspected endocrine-affecting substances.
Green Purchasing/Green Procurement
When products and services are purchased and procured, priority is given to
the reduction of impact on the environment to the lowest level possible in
addition to such considerations as need, price, and quality. Green
Purchasing encompasses office consumables, office materials, and products
for everyday living, while Green Procurement includes raw materials and
items used in production.
Corporate Governance
Corporate governance aims at establishing a system that enables efficient
and sound business management.
Compliance
“Compliance” generally refers to compliance with laws and regulations, but
here it means the avoidance of any action that disrupts social order or is
viewed by the general public as being in violation of corporate and management
ethics.
Sustainability Accounting
Sustainability accounting is a system that measures and indicates the
amount companies spend and invest to protect the environment and the
effects thereof. The then Environment Agency announced draft guidelines for
environmental accounting in March 1999 and Environmental Reporting
Guidelines (2000) in May 2000.
Zero Emissions
To realize a society in which resources are conserved, organizations take
various measures to eliminate the generation of waste. These measures
include the use of waste products as new raw materials and the generation
of energy from refuse. At Fujifilm, Zero Emissions is defined as the 100%
recycling of waste generated from business operations as well as the elimination
of the incineration or landfill disposal of waste.
Independent Verification Report
To ensure the reliability of environmental reports, an independent verification
statement is attached to the documentation. An independent verifier assesses
the reasonableness of the methods used to collect and aggregate information
to compile the report as well as the accuracy of the information
included in the report. An independent verifier expresses the result of the
assessment in the independent verification statement.
Recycle
Waste products are not disposed of (neither incinerated nor taken to landfill
sites) but are reused as resources. Material recycling involves reusing materials
in their original form. Chemical recycling involves the return of plastics
back to their original form through liquefaction, and thermal recycling involves
using waste as fuel.
Reduce
The reduction to the minimum amount possible of resources (materials) input
into the manufacturing process and the minimization of waste created.
Reuse
Through the reuse of materials, the generation of waste is reduced and the
conservation of resources is achieved.
Article Information Sheet (AIS)
Photo-developing solutions and related products are referred to as nonarticle
products, while photographic film and related products are called article products.
AIS’s provide the information necessary for the safe handling of article
products, giving the name and manufacturer of each product, its handing
methods, and environmental safety information relating to product characteristics,
such as hazardousness and toxicity. These information sheets are provided
with the product to users by the supplier.
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
COD is an indicator that helps determine water pollution levels. It is a measure
of the amount of oxygen consumed by oxidants in wastewater.
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines
GRI Guidelines are global standards used in compiling sustainability reports
and encompasses the areas of the economy, society, and the environment.
Reports are evaluated by the GRI under the auspices of the United Nations
Environmental Project (UNEP) in accordance with performance indicators
released in June 2000.
ISO 14001
This is an international standard for environmental management systems that
was established in September 1996 by the International Standards
Organization (ISO). Certifying organizations (Japan’s organization is the
Japan Accreditation Board for Conformity Assessment (JAB)) strive for constant
improvement by registering and evaluating corporations on the degree
of their compliance with environmental management system standards.
ISO14001 stipulates requirements for such environmental management systems.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
LCA is a comprehensive evaluation of a product’s environmental impact at all
stages, from development, manufacturing, and use to disposal or reuse.
Energy input, the amount of materials used, CO2 emissions, and other values
are used to identify and evaluate a product’s environmental impact throughout
its lifetime.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
MSDS’s refer to the safety instructions for nonarticles, such as processing
chemicals, that are distributed for each product to all parties, from suppliers
to end users, to prevent accidents involving the handling of chemical substances.
PRTR Law
This refers to a law promulgated in July 1999 (the Pollutant Release and
Transfer Register Law). The law is aimed at reducing the amount of dangerous
chemicals released into the environment and helping assist efforts to
eliminate threats to the environment through the improvement of self-management
by businesses that manufacture and use chemical substances. As
of April 2001, it is mandatory for businesses that handle chemical substances
to reduce the emission of applicable chemical substances. As of April 2002,
the submission of activity reports to the government is mandatory.

Major External Recognition
F3 Plant won the 2002 Superior Trendsetting
Factories and Offices Special Award
The Superior Trendsetting Factories and Offices Special Award,
sponsored by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun Inc., is given to factories
or offices that make significant social contribution through
improvements in productivity, environmental protection measures,
and reform of the workplace environment.
The F3 Plant of the Electronic Display Materials
Manufacturing Division at the Odawara Factory received this
award for its wide-view (WV) film for LCDs.
WV film, which is indispensable for PCs, is one of Fujifilm’s
staple products. The production line of the F3 Plant dominates
the WV film market, accounting for 80% of the market share.
High-quality film, which can be used for even 50-inch displays,
is manufactured at a strictly controlled clean room. The exhaust
gas generated in the manufacturing process is transformed into
energy in a thermal-storage combustion system for zero emissions.
Such environment-friendly efforts were recognized and a
factor in winning the award.
Site Reports Issued by Fujifilm’s Six Facilities in Japan
The Ashigara Factory, Odawara Factory, Yoshida-Minami
Factory, Fujinomiya Factory, Miyanodai Technology
Development Center, and Asaka Technology Development
Center issue site reports to facilitate the understanding of local
communities and residents in Fujifilm’s efforts toward environmental
protection.
The reports contain key issues and achievements in environmental
measures, efforts to promote zero emissions and reductions
in environmental impact, environmental accounting, and
other information.
Site reports are available at
www.fujifilm.co.jp/kankyoreport/index.html (Japanese only).

• In this edition, we have included the opinions of those in
charge of product development in the Design for
Environment Section. Although we could not include all
opinions due to space limitation, we would be satisfied if it
helped illustrate the fact that Fujifilm is making steady
results in improving environmental quality.
• We changed the name of the report from Environmental
Report to Sustainable Report and added more social information.
To form closer ties with all stakeholders, we shall
henceforth keep you abreast of Fujifilm’s vision and attitude
instead of merely providing information on our systems and
