  • *1 The total of Scopes 1 and 2 figures and the figures from Scope 3 categories (1, 3, 4, 11, and 12).
  • *2 Direct emission from the company at the manufacturing stage of the product (Scope 1) and indirect emission due to the use of electricity / steam supplied from other companies (Scope 2)
  • *3 From FY2023, Scope 3 Category 1 emissions are calculated not only for raw materials and parts used in existing products but also for emissions derived from contract manufacturing products purchased by the Company, packaging materials, services purchased and products purchased for the purpose of sales. Based on this approach, we have also reevaluated emissions for the base year of fiscal 2019.
  • *4 We revised our calculation logic according to changes in the product portfolio in the Business Innovation segment.

Ensure Product and Chemical Safety (Priority Issue 4)

Note: ◎ Excellent 〇 Good △ Fair × Poor

Targets for FY2030 Major activities of FY2024 Against target
(1) Adopting alternatives to animal testing in all safety assessments.
  • Two of the seven risk management priority substances identified in fiscal 2020 have been replaced in 2021. We reduced consumption of four others, and the final one was revised to be low risk. We have been developing alternative technologies for substances including two substances.
  • In fiscal 2022, we started enhancing the chemical management system for molded items. In fiscal 2023, we commenced the full-scale usage of the enhanced functions to more accurately understand the usage of designated chemicals and the replacement of such chemicals preceding legislation of usage restrictions.
(2) Obtain the safety data on the safety data sheet for our chemical products*9 using alternative methods for animal testing*8.
  • Skin sensitization*10 is one way to assess chemical safety. .Fujifilm developed an proprietary safety prediction model*11 to evaluate the level of skin sensitization*10 based on computer simulations.
    Combining this safety prediction model with Amino acid Derivative Reactivity Assay (ADRA), which was developed by us and listed in the OECD Test Guidelines, provided us with an alternative means to animal testing to assess the safety of new chemicals that we develop.
  • *8 We haven’t already tested with animals for safety evaluation of chemicals used in cosmetics (including quasi-pharmaceutical products).
    We do not plan to conduct animal testing for this purpose unless such testing is required to achieve accountability of chemical safety or is instructed by the authorities concerned. Note that we conduct legally specified safety evaluation for chemical substances used in medicines and foods.
  • *9 Fine chemicals, various treatment chemicals, chemicals or mixture.
  • *10 Allergic reaction of the skin.
  • *11 The model was presented at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments and the SOT 64th Annual Meeting.
    It was also published in Computational Toxicology, a renowned international journal specializing in computational approaches in toxicological safety assessments of chemical substances.
Future Activities and Targets

In line with the Fujifilm Group Environmental Strategy, “Green Value Climate Strategy,” we will promote our production activities with lower environmental impact and creation and dissemination of products and services with superior environmental performance to achieve our targets.

As a company with core engineering technologies in the molecular design of functional molecules and functional polymers, we also set new targets for chemical management and utilization to ensure product and chemical safety.

Environmental issues, including climate change, are the highest priority issues in international society. The Fujifilm Group is addressing environmental issues by uniting its Group efforts and continues to work toward achieving its FY2030 targets.

Environmental Education

The Fujifilm Group is committed to providing environmental education for its employees to help them gain basic knowledge on the environment and understanding about environmental issues, while promoting environmental activities. In addition, the Group provides e-leaning-based environmental education for all of its employees to ensure that they fully understand the “Fujifilm Group Green Policy.”
