In January 2024, in commemoration of the 90th anniversary, the Fujifilm Group established the Group's Purpose: “giving our world more smiles.” To realize this purpose, the Sustainable Value Plan 2030 (the foundations of the Group’s business management strategies for sustainable growth) emphasizes “health” as one of the top priority issues, and we are working to promote “Kenkokeiei®*”, which is one of our materiality issues.
As we believe it is one of the major managements’ priorities to maintain and enhance the wellness of employees, we adopted Fujifilm Group Employee Wellness Declaration in September 2019 to demonstrate our strong commitment to Kenkokeiei. To ensure that our employees maintain good physical and mental health and retain their work incentive, we are accelerating our efforts to enhance employee wellness throughout the Group in our drive to meet the Fujifilm Group’s Purpose.
We have set group-wide KPIs and medium-term targets for fiscal 2025 in the five priority areas: lifestyle-related diseases; smoking; cancer; mental health; and long working hours, identified from health issues. By implementing the PDCA cycle, we continue to improve the level of employee wellness and plan to share our results with the public. We also plan to expand these employee wellness promotion activities not only in Japan but also worldwide to raise the bottom line of awareness across the Group by rolling out good practices.
We use a self-check questionnaire to confirm the status of initiatives related to health management and external evaluations, etc., for suppliers involved in the procurement activities of the Fujifilm Group. We also hold supplier briefings annually to explain our health management initiatives and ask our business partners to promote health management.
- In addition to setting shared KPIs for the common group, the Employee Wellness Managers, Employee Wellness Promotion Managers, and persons in charge at each group company were appointed. We launched group-wide initiatives to achieve shared numerical targets for the group in five priority areas.
- We set up “Wellness Portal Site” which provides information about employee wellness on the company’s intranet and started a series of special features on employee wellness in the in-house magazine*1. We also hung posters in the workplace to educate employees.
- In February 2020, every executive of Fujifilm and FUJIFILM Business Innovation and all Presidents of affiliated companies published their own Health Declarations on “Wellness Portal Site”. This is how we showed that health is a priority for all of Fujifilm group and we were able to accelerate the implementation of the employee wellness-focused management.
- All domestic group employees (about 43,000 people) took the health e-learning course supervised by occupational health physicians. Also being expanded to subcontractors and business partners.

Fujifilm has approximately 80 group production sites around the world, and we are promoting occupational safety suited to the business characteristics of each site. We have now started to share information on individual safety practices so that we can learn from each other and continue to make improvements. In Japan, the occupational safety managers of each Group company hold regular meetings to conduct safety patrols at each factory and discuss priority issues. In the US, a team comprised of EHS experts from the Group companies visits the factories to make safety patrols and suggest improvement ideas across all sites. We plan to take this opportunity to spread the rollout of these improved occupational health and safety practices across the factories, as well as to FUJIFILM Business Innovation.
In March 2025, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation has been selected as a 2025 Health & Productivity Stock (For fifth consecutive year).
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) launched the Health & Productivity Stock Selection in 2015 to recognize TSE-listed enterprises that strategically carry out efforts regarding employees’ health from a management perspective.
The Fujifilm Group has been actively working to promote better health since adopting the Fujifilm Group Employee Wellness Declaration in 2019, with an emphasis on issues such as life-style related diseases, smoking, cancer, mental health and long work hours. We also established the “Seven Wellness-promoting Actions” to promote healthy lifestyle practices throughout the Group, actively supporting the improvement of employees’ health and well-being.
31 companies in the Fujifilm Group have been certified as Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization 2025.
Based on the initiative by Nippon Kenko Kaigi to improve health, the Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization certification program offered by METI recognizes major corporations as well as small- and midsize-corporations with a particularly good health and productivity management program. We received this recognition because of our group-wide efforts to improve health and productivity as well as the involvement of our group companies.
