TOKYO, March 4, 2021 – FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is pleased to announce that the company has been selected as a “Health & Productivity Stock” for the first time in a joint program run by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).

The METI and TSE launched the Health & Productivity Stock Selection in 2015 to recognize TSE-listed enterprises that actively promote “Health & Productivity Management*1,” an initiative focusing on and strategically carrying out efforts regarding employees’ health from a management perspective.

In September 2019, FUJIFILM Holdings adopted the “Fujifilm Group Employee Wellness Declaration” to strongly promote Health & Productivity Management, recognizing that one of its management tasks is to maintain and promote employee wellness, which lays the foundation for realizing the Fujifilm Group’s corporate philosophy and vision. The company has worked on building a health-oriented corporate culture while also implementing employee wellness measures including setting Group-wide numerical targets in five categories, namely lifestyle diseases, cancer, smoking, mental health and working hours.

To enhance our leading position in consistently demonstrating new value for society, the Fujifilm Group will actively support employee wellness initiatives designed to inspire our employees to improve their physical and mental wellbeing so they can be energetic and have a zest for life in this era of longer life expectancy.

<Main initiatives for Health & Productivity Management>
1) Building a health-oriented corporate culture
  • Posting, on the Intranet, health-related commitments made by all executive officers of Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox as well as the presidents of their Japanese subsidiaries, including a no-smoking declaration and commitment to undergo upper endoscopy and colonoscopy
  • Providing all employees in Japan with an annual e-learning program on wellness, under the guidance of an occupational physician, since fiscal year ending March 2020 (FY2019)
2) Measures for cancer
  • Setting the numerical target of “raising the percentage of Group employees in Japan receiving cancer screening (for stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer) to at least 90%*2 by FY2022”
  • Offering upper endoscopy and colonoscopy at the company’s medical facilities that use its endoscopic technology, such as the Fujifilm Nishi-Azabu Medical Center at Fujifilm’s headquarters
3) Measures for smoking
  • Setting the numerical target of “reducing the percentage of smoker of Group employees in Japan to 12% by FY2022”
  • Updating the Employment Regulations to include a smoking ban during working hours in April 2020, and closing all smoking areas on company premises in Japan in October of the same year
  • Collaborating with the Health Insurance Association to launch an online smoking-cessation program in FY2018 to support employees quit smoking

Today, Fujifilm conducts its business in a wide variety of fields as a comprehensive healthcare company covering prevention, diagnosis and treatment. In the category of diagnosis, the company supplies medical devices such as endoscopy, ultrasound system and digital mammography that support early detection of lifestyle diseases and cancer for greater improvement in the quality of healthcare and promotion of human health.

The Fujifilm Group will continue to work on solving social issues through these business activities, and accelerate its initiatives for maintaining and promoting employees’ wellness as a way of contributing to the establishment of healthy society with longevity.
