- *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. As a result, emissions increased from the previous fiscal year.
- *4 We revised our calculation logic according to changes in the product portfolio in the Business Innovation segment.

Based on the concept of recycling economy, the Fujifilm Group established a company-wide policy and revised its targets to not only reduce waste generated in manufacturing, but also to reduce the use of new resources.
- Policy:
Aim at not using resources from new mines*7 - New targets:
Improve resource efficiency*8 by at least 5% by FY2030 compared to FY2023 (Entire Fujifilm Group)
Natural resource input ratio of 60% or less by FY2030. (FUJIFILM Business Innovation)
- *5 Recycling index = (Recycled volume + Valuable-converted volume) / Simple disposal volume
- *6 Valuables conversion index = Valuable-converted volume / Recycled volume
- *7 Non-renewable mined resources, such as oil and minerals
- *8 The index refers to resource intensity per new resource usage (e.g. sales / newly mined resource usage)

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.
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.”
Achieving your major SVP 2030 targets ahead of plan and the subsequent upward revision of the target figures demonstrate the excellence of the Fujifilm Group’s corporate culture. I respect the constant efforts by the management and all members of the Group.
Global trends are now driving net-zero emissions to expand from a corporate-basis to cover the entire supply chain, making the net-zero commitment a trading condition. Further, the carbon-minus scheme, which can offset past emissions, has also appeared. Society is demanding, more than ever before, that companies show a clear sense of social contribution through their businesses, such as by taking initiatives in supporting environmental measures outside the company.
The pursuit of green recovery that should go beyond stopgap measures, generated by the sense of crisis about worsening climate change, is the means of survival for nations and corporations in the 21st century. In the post-COVID-19 era, it will be essential to make drastic changes to the industrial structure and business portfolio toward building a sustainable society.
I look forward to seeing just how the Fujifilm Group, which already implements world-class environmental measures, will navigate through this global turning point to attain new heights.
