In recent times, depletion of agricultural, marine and mineral resources is now of great concern as consumption of resources expands rapidly to keep pace with expansion of the global population and economic growth. In addition, environmental destruction associated with new land development and labor exploitation issues, including harsh working environments and overwork, are becoming social issues. Against this backdrop, corporations are now required to build sustainable supply chains from the viewpoint of the environment, ethics, and human rights so that they can maintain a sustainable manufacturing process to provide products and services.
In the Fujifilm Group with a wide variety of businesses, the range of production related materials has increased and our supply chain now covers a wide range of fields. We understand the significance of corporate social responsibility and corporate ethics, and are implementing CSR activities to contribute to the sustainable development of society. However, it is impossible to achieve this through our own efforts alone, and it is important to tackle the issue across the entire supply chain. We ask our suppliers and partners related to the Group manufacturing processes to understand the importance of CSR management. With their understanding and cooperation, we will build a firm and strong CSR foundation by working together to resolve social issues.
Target for 2030
Realize sustainable procurement considering the environment, ethics and human rights
In SVP 2030, we have reconfirmed CSR as a priority issue, notably factors concerning the environment, ethics, and human rights. Under the Fujifilm Group's Procurement Policy, we are strengthening our CSR foundation together with our suppliers to build a sounder supply chain that would achieve sustainable procurement. In addition, based upon the Fujifilm Group Basic Concepts and Action Guidelines for Biodiversity Conservation (Guidelines for Biodiversity) established in June 2009, the Fujifilm Group is engaging in a wide range of environmental protection activities for the conservation and protection of biodiversity to sustain the various benefits we now receive from our ecosystem into the future.
