Green Volunteers: Experience Report (2014)

(FUJIFILM’s Activities)

2014 “Green Volunteers 17th Cohort” Report

The Green Volunteers, dispatched to China every year by the Fujifilm Workers’ Union as one part of its social contribution activities, is a symbolic activity that has continued for 17 years. The 17th cohort in 2014 was over the period August 2 to 6, and reforestation activities were carried out in the Horqin Desert, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. A total of 15 people participated from Japan, which included nine people from the Fujifilm Workers’ Union (including alumni), one person from the Fujifilm Cooperative, and five people who participated for the first time from the Workers’ Unions of Fujifilm Group companies.
 
Since the 10th cohort (2007), this activity has been carried out in cooperation with FUJIFILM (China) Investment Co., Ltd. (FFCN) and many FFCN employees, mainly from FFCN Shanghai and Suzhou, also participated in this activity. Fujifilm Group employees from both Japan and China worked together on reforestation activities. This time, the Japan team’s schedule did not overlap with the FFCN team, so the reforestation activities were done separately, however, a social gathering was held at the Bowang Hotel on the evening that the 17th cohort arrived. The participants were able to build deeper relationships and the gathering helped foster a sense of unity between the employees of the Fujifilm Group.
